How To Earn Latitudes Points with NCL
Earning Latitudes Rewards Points is a breeze, and it's one of the most rewarding aspects of being an NCL Latitudes Rewards member. These points are your key to climbing the loyalty program's tiers and unlocking a host of exclusive benefits. Here's how you can earn them:
Cruising with NCL: The primary way to accumulate Latitudes Points is by booking and embarking on Norwegian Cruise Line voyages. The number of points you earn is determined by various factors, including the length of your cruise and the type of stateroom you choose. Longer journeys and higher-category accommodations typically yield more points.
Booking Suites: If you're looking for a fast track to elite status, booking a suite or the Haven is a great strategy. Suite bookings often earn bonus Latitudes Points, accelerating your progress through the program's tiers.
Cruising Frequency: NCL values its loyal repeat cruisers. The more you sail with Norwegian Cruise Line, the faster you'll accumulate Latitudes Points. As you reach higher tier levels, you'll also earn bonus points for each night spent onboard.
Promotional Offers: Keep an eye out for special promotions and offers. Sometimes, NCL may run promotions that allow you to earn bonus Latitudes Points when you book specific sailings or stateroom categories. These offers will give you an additional point per night of your cruise.
Latitudes Insider Offers: As a Latitudes member, you'll receive exclusive offers and deals directly from Norwegian Cruise Line. These promotions often include bonus points, providing another opportunity to boost your Latitudes Points balance.
