MIAMI ­— Norwegian Cruise Line has enhanced its Latitudes Rewards Program, making it easier for cruisers to access a host of new benefits.

The refreshed program now features seven tiers including a brand new Diamond status as well as Sapphire, which replaces the previous Platinum Plus tier.

Nearly all tiers now feature a reduced points requirement to unlock each new status level, allowing guests to enjoy exclusive rewards faster. For example, Silver status is now available to those with 20 Rewards Points compared to 30 previously, allowing guests who book a 10-day voyage in a suite to automatically reach Silver status after a single cruise.

Additionally, Latitudes members will have access to a range of new onboard experiences and special offers tiered according to their status, including a one-time free cabin upgrade, Wines Around the World tasting experiences, Sail & Sustain Mixology experience, member cruises, Internet package discounts and the novelty signature tier-status pins.

Other benefits for Latitudes members include members-only cocktail parties, complimentary specialty dining and laundry service, plus priority tender and disembarkation, discounted shore excursions, duty-free shopping, photo packages and spa treatments.

Cruisers earn one Rewards Point for every night they sail, with an additional point per night for suite and The Haven by Norwegian guests, as well as for members who book a Latitudes Rewards Insider Offer. Guests are automatically enrolled in the program once they return home from their first cruise.

Travel agents can take advantage of new resources and assets in order to communicate the above benefits to their clients. These include dedicated NCLU training courses available at Norwegian Central.
