It’s about to get easier for frequent travelers to ball out on a cruise or a high-end casino vacation thanks to a new partnership between Hard Rock International and both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises.
Members of each company’s loyalty program will now receive reciprocal benefits on a hotel stay or cruise, according to the hotel group. Benefits include discounts on sailings, perks during a hotel stay, and more.
Through the agreement, travelers who are members of Hard Rock’s Unity by Hard Rock loyalty program will receive discounts on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity sailings and can qualify for invite-only cruise giveaways. The company said top-tier loyalty members also receive an annual complimentary cruise.
Members of Royal Caribbean’s Club Royale program and Celebrity’s Blue Chip Club program will similarly receive discounts on hotel stays. Premium tier members will also receive an annual complimentary trip at select Hard Rock hotels and casinos.
Overall, travel rewards programs offer a great opportunity for frequent travelers to save on a trip and access exclusive perks along the way from upgrades on airlines to late check-out at hotels, and more.
The decision to partner with Hard Rock comes as Royal Caribbean continues to upgrade its private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, with overwater cabanas and a new adults-only beach club. Last week, the private island welcomed guests from Celebrity Cruises for the first time.
