American Express Travel offers cruise bookings through its travel platform, with certain American Express Card Members receiving additional benefits when booking eligible cruises. Depending on the card and cruise line, benefits can include onboard credit, special amenities, cruise savings, and Membership Rewards points.
American Express Travel allows eligible customers to search and book cruises through AmexTravel.com. Depending on the American Express Card used and the cruise selected, travelers may receive additional benefits alongside the standard cruise booking.
The American Express Cruise Privileges Program provides eligible Platinum and Centurion Card Members with benefits on qualifying sailings of five nights or more with participating cruise lines. These benefits can include $100 to $300 in onboard credit per stateroom, one additional amenity, and Membership Rewards points.
The benefits vary according to the Card Member's eligibility, cruise line, sailing, and current promotion.
Some benefits can include:
For example, current American Express Travel offers include selected promotions for cruise lines such as Silversea, Oceania Cruises, Seabourn, Windstar Cruises, and AmaWaterways. The terms and eligible sailing dates differ for each promotion.
American Express Travel works with multiple cruise companies, although the available benefits depend on the particular program and sailing.
Participating Cruise Privileges Program lines include:
American Express states that ship and stateroom exclusions can apply, so not every cabin or sailing necessarily qualifies for the same benefits.
Eligible U.S. Platinum and Centurion Card Members enrolled in Membership Rewards can earn 2X Membership Rewards points on eligible cruise bookings made through American Express Travel. The additional points generally apply when the eligible booking is charged through AmexTravel.com or by calling the number on the back of the eligible Card.
Other American Express Cards can have different earning rates. For example, American Express currently lists 2X points for eligible Gold Card cruise bookings and 3X points for eligible Green Card cruise bookings through AmexTravel.com, subject to the applicable terms.
Before booking a cruise through American Express Travel, travelers can review the specific terms attached to the sailing and Card.
