Celebrity Cruises has updated and expanded its Captain’s Club loyalty program, effective June 11, 2026, adding two new levels as well as new perks in between levels for the most avid cruisers.

Captains Club Members at the top two tiers, Elite Plus and Zenith, will be able to unlock new perks at specific point levels between the tiers.

The Elite Plus level spans from 750 to 2,999 points and comes with a standard collection of benefits, including discounts on food, drink packages, WiFi, various onboard activities, and port excursions.

Now, Elite Plus members will be able to unlock additional perks, starting at 1,500 points, such as:

  • 480 minutes of complimentary premium WiFi.
  • 20% off specialty dining.
  • A complimentary photo from onboard photographers.
  • A surprise in-room amenity on the milestone sailing.

But the perks don’t end there. At 2,250 points, members get access to even more premium benefits, including:

  • Complimentary premium WiFi expanding to 720 minutes.
  • Specialty dining discounts are moving up to 25%.
  • Two complimentary photos.
  • Complimentary “Extend Your Stay” experiences on disembarkation day.

It’s Easier Than Ever to Reach Status

The news of this expansion to Celebrity Cruises’ loyalty program comes on the heels of Royal Caribbean Group, the parent company of Celebrity Cruises, introducing its Points Choice program, which Cruise Hive reported on in January 2026.

Points Choice unifies the loyalty programs of Royal Caribbean Group’s three brands: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea Cruises.

Members of Royal Caribbean’s Crown and Anchor Society, Silversea’s Venetian Society, and Celebrity Cruises’ Captain’s Club now have the option to apply points they’ve earned on sailings aboard any of the three brands towards the loyalty program of their choice.

This has made it much easier to earn points towards new loyalty tiers, as the choice of sailings to earn on effectively tripled.

That’s not to say reaching the illustrious new Triple Zenith level won’t still be a challenge, though, at only 2 club points per night for a standard cabin and a maximum of 24 points per night for the luxurious Iconic Suite, you’re still going to need to take quite a few cruises to reach that coveted 9,000 point tier.

That being said, there are certainly worse ways to earn rewards.
