MSC Voyagers Club: Tiers, Points, Diamond Benefits and Status Match
MSC Voyagers Club pays points per cruise, not per night. A 5 to 9 night cruise earns 500 points in Bella, 700 in Fantastica, 1,000 in Aurea and 1,500 in Yacht Club. The tiers are Classic from 1 point, Silver at 2,200, Gold at 4,300, Diamond at 10,000 and Blue Diamond at 25,000.
MSC also runs a free, one-time status match from more than 70 cruise, hotel, casino and travel programs for members with a US or Puerto Rico address, but a match cannot reach Blue Diamond. Status lasts as long as you sail with MSC at least once every 5 years.
By the CruiseLookup editorial team. We reviewed MSC Cruises' official Voyagers Club pages, the program terms dated November 7, 2024, the status match form and terms, and MSC's press releases, then ran the cruises-to-tier calculations shown below. Updated .
How MSC Voyagers Club points are earned
Each cruise earns a fixed number of points set by your MSC experience and the length of the sailing. Every Voyagers Club member in the cabin earns the full amount, as long as their Club ID is on the booking and they complete the cruise.

- 200

| Experience | Under 5 nights | 5 to 9 nights | Over 9 nights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bella | 200 | 500 | 700 |
| Fantastica | 400 | 700 | 1,000 |
| Aurea (and Wellness) | 600 | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| MSC Yacht Club | 800 | 1,500 | 2,000 |
Points are for the experience you booked: a free experience upgrade earns no extra points. Points post about 10 days after the cruise. MSC's current terms list Aurea; an older MSC page also lists Wellness at the same rates.

Prepaid packages, early booking and other bonus points
- Prepaid packages: 100 points per $150 (or €150) spent before the cruise on MSC packages and services for that booking. Spending charged to a shared cabin is split equally between the occupants.
- Packages included in the fare: 200 points for a drinks package, 300 for drinks plus internet and 100 for any other package. This does not apply to the Yacht Club experience.
- Early booking (Voyagers Exclusives): book a Voyagers Exclusives sailing more than 12 months before departure and you earn double experience points, credited after the cruise. This cannot be combined with Future Cruise Consultant benefits. Bookings 9 to 12 months out get the extra 5% discount only.
- MSC World Cruise: triple experience points for Classic members and up who buy the full World Cruise (for example 2,100 in Bella), and status is extended by 5 years.
- Birthday: 200 points for a cruise within 3 months of your birthday.
- Contact details: 100 points for confirming or updating your contact details up to 72 hours before sailing.
- Onboard spending: no longer earns points. The terms dated November 7, 2024 removed it, although an older MSC page still lists 100 points per $150 spent onboard, excluding the casino.

Points last as long as you sail once every 5 years
You must take at least one MSC cruise every five years (60 months) from your last disembarkation. If you don't, your membership lapses and all points are lost. MSC moved from 3 years to 5 years on November 7, 2024; an older MSC page still shows the 3-year rule, but the current terms say 5.
US residents who sail with MSC are enrolled automatically at no cost, and the Club ID arrives by email about 10 days after the cruise.

How many MSC cruises it takes to reach each tier
All examples are 7-night cruises for one member, with no bonus points. Each guest in the cabin who is a member earns the same, so a couple reaches each tier together. Classic comes with the first cruise.
- Bella
- 5 cruises, 35 nights
- Fantastica
- 4 cruises, 28 nights
- Aurea
- 3 cruises, 21 nights
- Yacht Club
- 2 cruises, 14 nights
- Bella
- 9 cruises, 63 nights
- Fantastica
- 7 cruises, 49 nights
- Aurea
- 5 cruises, 35 nights
- Yacht Club
- 3 cruises, 21 nights
- Bella
- 20 cruises, 140 nights
- Fantastica
- 15 cruises, 105 nights
- Aurea
- 10 cruises, 70 nights
- Yacht Club
- 7 cruises, 49 nights
- Bella
- 50 cruises, 350 nights
- Fantastica
- 36 cruises, 252 nights
- Aurea
- 25 cruises, 175 nights
- Yacht Club
- 17 cruises, 119 nights
| Tier | Bella500 points per 7-night cruise | Fantastica700 points per 7-night cruise | Aurea1,000 points per 7-night cruise | Yacht Club1,500 points per 7-night cruise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver (2,200) | 5 cruises, 35 nights | 4 cruises, 28 nights | 3 cruises, 21 nights | 2 cruises, 14 nights |
| Gold (4,300) | 9 cruises, 63 nights | 7 cruises, 49 nights | 5 cruises, 35 nights | 3 cruises, 21 nights |
| Diamond (10,000) | 20 cruises, 140 nights | 15 cruises, 105 nights | 10 cruises, 70 nights | 7 cruises, 49 nights |
| Blue Diamond (25,000) | 50 cruises, 350 nights | 36 cruises, 252 nights | 25 cruises, 175 nights | 17 cruises, 119 nights |
Longer cruises help. A 10-night Fantastica cruise earns 1,000 points, so Diamond takes 10 cruises (100 nights) instead of 15 seven-night cruises (105 nights). Prepaid packages and early-booking double points shorten every path in the table.

The MSC status match: one request, no Blue Diamond
MSC lets you bring status from another program through a one-time online request (not during a cruise). The match is free. You upload an image of your current loyalty card (jpg, png, pdf or doc, up to 4 MB), and MSC contacts you once you are matched to a Voyagers Club tier.
- Who can apply: the US form accepts only a US or Puerto Rico address. The status match terms say you must be 18 or over and cannot register during a cruise.
- One time only: MSC calls it a "one-time request", and its status match terms say a conversion can only be done once per person.
- No Blue Diamond: the Voyagers Club terms exclude Blue Diamond from status match, so Diamond is the highest tier a match can give.
- Eligible programs: more than 70 on MSC's list, including Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, Oceania, Princess, Regent, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn, Silversea and Virgin Voyages; Accor, Hilton, IHG, Marriott, World of Hyatt and Wyndham; the casinos Wynn Las Vegas, MGM Resorts, Mohegan Sun and Resorts Casino; and a few travel programs and airlines such as Expedia, Emirates and Air China. No major US airline is on the list. The form lists a few airlines, but MSC's status match terms (2018) say airline cards are not accepted, so check before applying.
- Timing: MSC's status match terms (a UK document dated November 2018 in its file name) say up to 4 to 7 business days.
- After the match: MSC's form says you qualify for a 5% discount on future sailings plus onboard discounts. Neither page says how long a matched tier lasts; the general rule of one cruise every 5 years applies to all memberships.
What tier will you get? Reported examples only
MSC publishes no mapping chart. The examples below come from cruise press, not MSC, and may not reflect how MSC matches today. Cruise.blog (September 30, 2026) cites an MSC chart last updated in July 2021:
| Your current status | Reported MSC tier |
|---|---|
| Royal Caribbean Gold | Classic |
| Royal Caribbean Platinum | Silver |
| Royal Caribbean Emerald, Diamond or Diamond Plus | Gold |
| Royal Caribbean Pinnacle Club | Diamond |
| Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite | Classic |
| World of Hyatt Explorist | Gold |
The Points Guy reported in March 2025 that a World of Hyatt Globalist was matched to Diamond. Cruise.blog reported a first email within 72 hours, and both outlets report that once a matched status lapses, you cannot match again.
Since you only get one match, use your highest status and apply when you have an MSC cruise planned. If you hold Royal Caribbean status, our Crown & Anchor guide shows what each tier is worth at home.

The Wynn Rewards partnership
On February 18, 2026, MSC became the exclusive benefit partner of Wynn Rewards, the loyalty program of Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Rewards members get annual cruise benefits based on their Wynn tier, including preferred pricing, complimentary staterooms and onboard casino incentives. The top Wynn tier gets MSC Yacht Club access, and members may qualify for invite-only cruise giveaways.
MSC's release names no Wynn tiers or dollar figures, and it does not say whether Voyagers Club members get anything at Wynn. Separately, Wynn Las Vegas is one of the programs on MSC's status match list.
Sources: MSC's Wynn Rewards release (February 18, 2026) and status match form.
The MSC casino and Voyagers Club
MSC's US casino page says only that slot players earn Dream Points by inserting their ship card. MSC does not publish casino tiers, earning rates, cruise certificate levels or offer terms, and casino play does not earn Voyagers Club points. Our cruise casino programs comparison covers how MSC compares with lines that publish their casino programs.

Who should care about MSC Voyagers Club status
Worth planning around if
- You book Yacht Club or Aurea: Diamond is 7 to 10 seven-night cruises away.
- You hold high status elsewhere and have an MSC cruise planned: the one-time match can start you above Classic, up to Diamond.
- You book Voyagers Exclusives more than a year out: double points nearly halve the path.
- You sail MSC every few years: points last as long as you cruise once every 5 years.
Do not chase it if
- You take one 7-night Bella cruise a year: Diamond takes 20 cruises.
- You want free drinks or a lounge: no Voyagers Club tier includes them.
- You plan to match your way to the top: Blue Diamond is only earned by sailing.
- You choose cruises on price across lines: Classic's 5% discount only matters if MSC is already close on fare.
