Celebrity Cruises Makes Big Changes to Loyalty Program
If you're a Captain's Club member nearing 2,250, 2,500, 3,000, 6,000, or 9,000 points, check your balance before June 11, 2026, when these changes take effect. Members hitting 9,000 points can look forward to a complimentary seven-night Bermuda or Caribbean sailing in a Sky Suite. Review the Captain's Club terms and conditions on Celebrity's site to see how the new milestones affect your next sailing.
My read is that Celebrity is trying to close the gap between Elite Plus and Zenith, which previously left a huge point desert for loyal cruisers to cross. Adding milestones at 2,250 and 2,500 points gives mid-tier members something tangible before they hit 3,000. The real hook, though, is the new Triple Zenith tier at 9,000 points — a free seven-night Bermuda or Caribbean sailing in a Sky Suite is a serious perk, and it signals Celebrity wants to keep its highest-spending repeat customers locked in rather than shopping around. Double Zenith at 6,000 points, with its free lunch, dinner, and champagne, feels like a bridge to keep momentum toward that big prize. If I were chasing status, I'd start tracking my points now, before the June 11, 2026 rollout.
