Carnival Cruise Line Introduces New Rewards Program with Points and Status Benefits

Carnival Cruise Line launched Carnival Rewards on September 1, 2026, a loyalty program allowing guests to earn points and stars from cruise purchases and everyday shopping redeemable for cruises and onboard experiences. The program features four pillars: reward points on eligible purchases, status-qualifying stars within a four-year window, co-branded partnerships with the Carnival Mastercard, and milestone recognition starting at 50 days sailed. Guests earn three points and three stars per dollar spent, with four status levels: red, gold (10,000 stars), platinum (50,000 stars), and diamond (100,000 stars).
