Cross-Brand Status Match (how it works)
Current Status Match Equivalencies:
| Crown & Anchor | Captain's Club | Venetian Society |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Classic | 1 VS Day |
| Platinum / Emerald | Select | 100 VS Days |
| Diamond | Elite | 250 VS Days |
| Diamond Plus | Elite Plus | 350 VS Days |
| Pinnacle Club | Zenith | 500 VS Days |
How to request: 1. Open the Royal Caribbean or Celebrity mobile app → Profile → Loyalty → your program name → "Loyalty Match" 2. Select the sister brand(s) and follow the prompts (Silversea has no app; use its online form) 3. Approval usually within a week, often instantly; matched status generally remains active while the loyalty programs remain linked under current Royal Caribbean Group policies
Fine print: - You receive the matched tier, not points — so earned-status-only perks are excluded (e.g., Pinnacle/Zenith milestone cruises, Crystal Blocks, Zenith black card, single-supplement reduction, Retreat Lounge access when not staying in the Retreat) - Points are earned separately on each brand, but with Points Choice (sailings on/after Jan 30, 2026) you can transfer earned points to a different brand's program within 14 days of disembarkation - Example exchange: a 7-night Celebrity veranda sailing earns 21 Captain's Club points, convertible to 7 Crown & Anchor points - Exchange ratios are published by Royal Caribbean Group and may differ between brands, so always verify the current conversion before electing your Points Choice destination
FAQ
Can I combine my cruise nights across Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Silversea?
No. Each loyalty program maintains its own point balance. Through Points Choice you can direct newly earned points to another Royal Caribbean Group loyalty program after eligible sailings, but existing balances are not merged into one combined account.
