Carnival Rewards (Launches June 1, 2026)
Set to debut in June 2026, Carnival Rewards offers an exciting new way to reward your loyalty to Carnival cruises with exclusive perks. The more stars you collect, the higher your status and the greater the benefits you’ll enjoy.
How many points will I earn?
Cruisers will earn 3 stars for every $1 spent and 1 star for every 1 casino point. Plus, you can earn additional stars for milestones such as your first 50 nights sailed or for every 100 nights sailed.
How does Carnival Rewards work?
You’ll accumulate Status Qualifying Stars over a two-year period, known as the Status Qualifying Period. Once you’ve reached a status level, it’s yours to enjoy for the following two years—the Status Enjoyment Period. Even better, if you achieve a status early, you can start enjoying its benefits right away, before the official enjoyment period even begins! While you’re enjoying your current benefits, you’ll also be working towards your next status level. Your new Status Qualifying Period runs simultaneously with your Status Enjoyment Period, making it easy to keep climbing the ladder while reaping the rewards.
How do I earn Carnival Rewards stars?
- Earn when you book: Start earning stars the moment you book your cruise. It’s that easy!
- Earn while you cruise: Make your trip unforgettable by adding extras like shore excursions, specialty dining, spa treatments, and more—and earn points while you enjoy them.
- Earn as you play: Whether you’re trying your luck at your favorite casino game or exploring something new, every game earns you points.
- Earn when you shop: Use the Carnival® World Mastercard® to earn points on everyday purchases and all your Carnival-related expenses.
