What are the benefits of joining a river cruise line loyalty program? A review of Avalon, Viking, Uniworld, and AmaWaterways (part 4 of 5)
River cruise lines offer loyalty rewards programs similar to ocean cruise lines. With river cruise lines, enrollment is automatic after your first cruise and the benefits are the same regardless of the number of cruises.
If you’ve already sailed, CruiseExperts.com can look up your loyalty rewards number
If you’ve cruised before, give your loyalty rewards number to your CruiseExperts.com agent and they will have access to all your special offers. If you don’t have your loyalty card number–no worries! We can look it up for you.
Avalon Waterways (Globus)—Journeys Club
Once you’ve traveled with Globus, Cosmos, Monograms or Avalon Waterways (within the past five years) you’re eligible for membership in the Journeys Club. Avalon also offers a discount if you have another cruise lines’ loyalty program—basically, they’ll reward you for switching loyalty!
