Celebrity Captain's Club

Captain's Club

The Captain's Club is the past passenger loyalty program (or cruise club) of Celebrity Cruises, that also happens to have its tier levels honored by Royal Caribbean International's Crown & Anchor Society. Due to the sale of Azamara to Sycamore Partners, since February 1, 2023, Azamara Circle members will no longer earn cumulative points or have reciprocity with Celebrity Cruises. By booking a Celebrity cruise with us, we are able to honor all Captain's Club benefits that Celebrity offers you, plus we can give you added amenities that they won't. For example, we may be able to give you onboard credits, pre-paid gratuities, wine and/or other amenities (based on the exact trip you book). If you'd like to take advantage of Captain's Club benefits you must book with us over the phone and (prior to pricing anything out) mention to the reservations agent that you are a Captain's Club member. This will ensure that you will get the best deals possible!

There are six membership levels in the Captain's Club, that are based on the number of Club Points*** you have earned: Preview, Classic, Select, Elite, Elite Plus, and Zenith. Please see below for specific details about each level.
