The Voyagers Club is MSC Cruises’ loyalty and benefits program that rewards repeat cruisers with a variety of perks and discounts. The club is a points-based program with four tiers, and you earn points primarily by taking cruises. The longer the cruise and the better the “experience” you book, you’ll earn more points.
How to Sign Up For MSC Voyagers Club
To sign up for the Voyagers Club, you must have already sailed with MSC Cruises or currently have a sailing booked. Cruisers of all ages can become members. Visit this webpage to sign up.
If you’re onboard, you can complete the subscription form available at Guest Services and/or the MSC Voyagers Club desk.

How to Earn MSC Voyagers Club Points
The number of points earned depends on not only the length of the cruise but also on which “experience” you book.
MSC divides the length of the cruise into three levels: four nights and under, five to nine nights, and 10 nights or longer. It’s also divided out into MSC’s experiences, each of which will afford you a different amount of points. The experiences are Bella, Fantastica, Wellness, Aurea, and MSC Yacht Club.
As an example, we’ll give you the points you’ll receive if you take a cruise that’s five to nine nights long:
Bella: 500 pointsFantastica: 700 pointsWellness: 1,000 pointsAurea: 1,000 pointsMSC Yacht Club: 1,500 points
If you take a shorter cruise, you’ll receive fewer points for each of these levels. If you take a longer one, you’ll receive more.
There are also other ways to receive points, such as spending $150 on onboard packages and services ahead of the cruise and confirming your contact details at least three days prior to the sail date.
Points are credited at the end of the cruise, approximately 10 days after disembarkation.
Those who book a world cruise with MSC will receive triple the points.
Keep in mind that to keep your points active, you must sail at least once every 3 years (36 months). If you don’t, you’ll lose your loyalty status completely.

MSC Cruises Status Matching
MSC Cruises also offers status matching. So if you have loyalty with another cruise line, hotel brand, or tour operator, you can fill out this form and MSC will put you at its membership level that matches that of the other cruise line or hotel brand you submit to them.
Be sure and choose the cruise line, hotel, etc. that you have the highest loyalty with to match, because once you do the level matching once, you can’t do it again.
If you’re taking a MSC cruise soon, it’s recommended that you apply for status matching at least 14 business days prior to embarkation day.
