THE Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection (RCYC) has joined Marriott Bonvoy, with members of the hotel chain’s loyalty program now able to earn and redeem points on the cruise line’s sailings.
For voyages beginning 06 May, members will earn 5 points per USD$1 spent on their cruise fare, as well as on the hotel package rate for participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels booked through RCYC.
Both the cruise fare and hotel package rate will be applied toward the annual qualifying spend for members striving for Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Elite status.
Members can redeem an initial 180,000 points toward a USD$1,000 savings on the cruise fare, and increments of 90,000 points may be redeemed toward a USD$500 savings thereafter.
They will also receive 1 elite night credit per night on board toward achieving higher Elite status, and can accelerate the points earned on their fare and more when using their Marriott Bonvoy co-branded credit cards from American Express and JPMorgan Chase.
“It is exciting to expand our unparalleled portfolio of travel experiences with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection,” said Marriott International SVP Global Loyalty David Flueck.
“Marriott Bonvoy offers more unique accommodations than any program and this new offering is an incredible addition for our most discerning members.”
SVP Luxury Brands Chris Gabaldon said as The Ritz-Carlton brand continues to evolve, the participation of RCYC in Marriott Bonvoy encourages both long-time brand loyalists and those who are new to the chain to earn and redeem points while exploring the company’s new seaborne offering.
