What are NCL Latitudes Rewards?

The majority of cruise lines have loyalty programmes, and Norwegian Cruise Line is no different. Known as the Latitudes Rewards Programme, the more that you sail with NCL, the more points you’ll receive (and therefore, the more perks you’ll unlock). 

From signature tier pins to exclusive cocktail parties, discounts on shore excursions and other benefits, it’s a great way of enhancing your cruise experience. In this guide, we’ll take you through the different Latitudes membership tiers, how to earn points and the variety of benefits that come with the loyalty programme.

Norwegian Cruise Line’s Latitudes Rewards Tiers

Revamped in 2022, benefits are available to those on cruises lasting 5+ nights. The introductory tier, Bronze, is achieved after the first cruise with NCL. 

Member Tiers Points
Bronze 1
Silver 20
Gold 45
Platinum 75
Sapphire 150
Diamond 350
Ambassador 700

How to Earn Latitudes Loyalty Points After completing your first NCL cruise, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the Latitudes Rewards loyalty programme within 48 hours (if you’re 18+). Not only will you earn 1 point for every night you’re cruising with NCL, but you can earn 1 additional point for suite or The Haven bookings or when booking an exclusive Latitudes Rewards Insider Offer.

To unlock the Silver tier, you'll need to have sailed on three seven-night cruises or two ten-night cruises (in a standard cabin). However, if you’ve booked a suite, The Haven or a Latitudes Rewards Insider Offer, you’ll reach this tier faster, due to the additional points you’ve earned.

What are Latitudes Rewards Insider Offers? Latitudes Rewards Insider Offers are deals on select sailings that are exclusive for Latitudes Rewards members. Sent via email each month, these sailings come with bonus cruise points.

When the Norwegian Cruise Line Latitudes Rewards Programme was enhanced in 2022, there were seven upgrades to the existing benefits. For example, the complimentary dinner can now be enjoyed at a wide range of onboard restaurants, rather than one or two set specialty ones, giving you more flexibility.
