If you’re a regular with MSC Cruises, you’ll be excited to hear about the latest updates to their loyalty program, including the launch of an exclusive new tier: the MSC Cruises Blue Diamond loyalty program.
This new tier brings top-tier perks for frequent cruisers, making family adventures at sea more comfortable and enjoyable.
MSC is also making it easier to keep your membership active. Once you reach your status, you only need one cruise every five years to maintain it. So, even if life gets in the way of your next big trip, you won’t lose those valuable perks!
Blue Diamond Perks – making your cruise experience better
The MSC Cruises Blue Diamond loyalty program offers perks that make each cruise more special. You benefit from priority boarding, dedicated check-in, and My Choice dining, which lets you plan meal times around your family’s schedule.
Blue Diamond cruisers get priority access to tender boats at busy ports, so you’ll spend more time exploring rather than waiting around.
Members also enjoy complimentary shuttle buses in select ports. This is perfect if you plan to explore on your own and the port is outside of the center of town. For parents (or teenagers!) who like to stay connected, there’s even a free Browse Wi-Fi package.
These perks really add up, here’s a quick look at what Blue Diamond members can look forward to on each voyage:
Priority for Onboard Upgrades (when available) – Be first in line for available upgrades, enhancing your onboard experience.
Priority Boarding and Dedicated Check-In – Start your embarkation day stress-free with priority boarding and a dedicated check-in area.
Flexible My Choice Dining – Dine at your preferred time, making it easy to plan around your family’s schedule.
Priority Tender Access at Ports – Spend more time exploring and less time waiting at busy ports.
Complimentary Shuttle Buses – Free shuttle service at select ports for added convenience and savings.
Free Browse Wi-Fi Package – Stay connected with a complimentary Wi-Fi package for one device.
Meet and Greet with the Captain or Officer—This is a special opportunity to meet the team in charge of a smooth sailing!
Dedicated Luggage Drop-Off at MSC Yacht Club Check-In – Streamlined luggage handling for a smooth boarding experience.
MSC Voyagers Club – easy enrollment and more flexibility
MSC has also made joining the Voyagers Club easier than ever. You can now enroll right away, with no reservation needed—so if you’re just getting into MSC Cruises, you can start enjoying perks and discounts from the beginning.
Members also get access to MSC Voyagers Selection departures with discounts of up to 20% on popular Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Alaska cruises. If you’re dreaming of sunny days at MSC Cruises’ private island in the Caribbean, Ocean Cay, this membership can help make that dream a reality.
Setting sail on MSC World America – a family-friendly adventure
Mark your calendar for April 2025, when MSC World America will debut. This ship has been designed specifically with North America cruise travelers in mind, boasting everything from expansive family suites to eco-friendly innovations.
MSC World America will also feature a range of family-friendly dining experiences, and it’ll be among the best options for travelers on a cruise from Miami.
Eataly at sea – a taste of Italy onboard
For foodies, one of the new highlights of MSC Cruises is a new culinary partnership, and nothing quite beats the experience of Eataly at sea.
This authentic Italian experience brings the flavors of Italy right onboard, letting you indulge in classic Italian dishes, from fresh pasta to pizza. Eataly at Sea even offers shopping for Eataly products so you can take home a piece of Italy with you.
Don’t forget booking a drinks package in advance of starting your cruise is often less expensive than booking on board. If you’re curious about which drinks package is right for your family, read our guide in our article, MSC Cruises drinks packages compared and reviewed.
Affordable luxury and exceptional value
With MSC, luxury and family-friendly affordability go hand in hand. MSC’s Yacht Club offers an all-inclusive experience at prices that won’t break the bank (you can read more about it in MSC Yacht Club – affordable luxury at sea). And for those looking to enhance their stay without splurging on a full suite, MSC also offers an Upgrade Bid Program where you can bid to upgrade your cabin category.
MSC has built its reputation on delivering an affordable cruise experience, making it an excellent choice for families looking to balance value with a touch of luxury.
