Celebrity Cruises is significantly expanding its Captain’s Club loyalty programme, introducing two new membership levels above Zenith and adding a series of milestone rewards designed to recognise its most frequent cruisers.
The changes will take effect from 11th June 2026 and will see additional benefits introduced for members progressing through the upper tiers of the programme. The cruise line is also creating two entirely new levels, Double Zenith and Triple Zenith, giving loyal guests fresh milestones to work towards.
Under the updated structure, members in the Elite Plus tier, which covers those with between 750 and 2,999 Club Points, will be able to unlock extra benefits before reaching Zenith status.
Elite Plus members reaching 1,500 points will receive 480 minutes of complimentary premium WiFi, a 20% discount on specialty dining, a complimentary onboard photograph and a surprise in-room amenity on their milestone sailing.
Those who progress to 2,250 points will gain further rewards, including 720 minutes of complimentary premium WiFi, an increased 25% discount on specialty dining, two complimentary photographs and complimentary Extend Your Stay experiences on disembarkation day.
New Benefits Added Above Zenith
Zenith status, previously the highest level within the Captain’s Club programme, begins at 3,000 Club Points and includes some of the line’s most sought-after benefits, such as priority embarkation, access to private lounges, complimentary premium WiFi and enhanced onboard discounts.
As part of the update, Celebrity Cruises is enhancing Zenith membership with additional rewards, including a 35% discount on specialty dining and three complimentary photographs.
The biggest change, however, is the introduction of two new tiers above Zenith.
Double Zenith will be awarded to guests who accumulate 6,000 Club Points. Members at this level will receive all Zenith benefits alongside a complimentary lunch in a specialty restaurant on embarkation day, a complimentary specialty dining dinner during their milestone sailing and a complimentary bottle of champagne.
For the most dedicated guests, Triple Zenith status will be achieved at 9,000 Club Points. In addition to all benefits available at lower levels, Triple Zenith members will receive a complimentary seven-night Bermuda or Caribbean cruise in a Sky Suite, a complimentary specialty restaurant lunch on any day of every sailing, a specialty dinner on milestone voyages and a complimentary bottle of champagne.
The additions mark one of the most significant loyalty programme expansions undertaken by Celebrity Cruises in recent years and provide high-value guests with new incentives to continue sailing with the brand.
Loyalty Changes Come After Points Choice Launch
The announcement follows the introduction of Royal Caribbean Group’s Points Choice programme earlier in 2026.
The initiative links the loyalty programmes across the group’s three cruise brands: Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and Silversea Cruises. Through the programme, members of Celebrity’s Captain’s Club, Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society and Silversea’s Venetian Society can choose to apply points earned across any of the three brands towards the loyalty programme they wish to progress in.
The change has effectively expanded the number of sailings available for earning loyalty rewards, making it easier for frequent cruisers to accumulate points towards higher status levels.
Even so, reaching the newly created Triple Zenith tier will remain a considerable challenge. Captain’s Club members typically earn two Club Points per night when sailing in a standard stateroom, while guests booked in the most luxurious accommodation, such as the Iconic Suite, can earn up to 24 points per night.
As a result, accumulating the 9,000 points required for Triple Zenith status will still require a substantial number of cruises, ensuring the new top tier remains an exclusive achievement for Celebrity Cruises’ most loyal passengers.
