The CostaClub, which is an exclusive club for guests for whom the Costa cruise is their favorite vacation program, is now opening a new page: it welcomes those who are thinking of participating in a Costa cruise for the first time among its members.
All members of the club receive exceptional treatment, which comes with exceptional offers and privileges. The extras and discounts offered by the club membership, which the guest enjoys from the first moment he steps on board, accompany him on the shore, even all the way home.
CostaClub rewards your loyalty with real benefits, which means: the more you sail, the more discounts you get. As a CostaClub member, you enjoy privileges every day, during your vacation, just like at home.
Costa's frequent flyer program celebrated its 15th birthday in 2016 with a new look and new content to make you feel even more special! So that you feel at home as if you were on board one of the Costa ships... And when you are on board, you are the center of attention thanks to the many special privileges that only you are entitled to. The new CostaClub will reward you with a series of privileges throughout the year for your enthusiastic commitment to Costa, and the greater your commitment, the more valuable privileges you will be entitled to.
So let's see the world of the renewed CostaClub, the new benefits and discounts, as well as the general conditions!
Among the many exciting novelties, the creation of a new, more special and exclusive club than ever before is perhaps the most exciting. The name of this new club: Perla Diamante (Diamond Pearl Club); its members possess truly special and extraordinary privileges. Also new is the Club Ambra (Amber Club), whose members are guests who have not sailed with Costa yet! CostaClub now has no less than six membership levels.
What's also new is that there are even more opportunities to collect points and thereby obtain additional benefits, on top of those that CostaClub members already enjoyed.
This is what the new CostaClub is all about: a world specifically for you, where you and your fellow CostaClub members can enjoy the unique excitement of Costa cruises.
The new CostaClub rules came into effect on January 31, 2016.
The new face of CostaClub
The image of the new CostaClub is also new: the image of a ship's wake, with water drops of the sea subtly and elegantly playing with each other. Which symbolizes what CostaClub and its many members like you mean to Costa: something as natural, essential and precious as the sea. This value and importance is also hinted at by the club symbols shaped like real jewels, which bear their Italian names to emphasize the close relationship between Costa and CostaClub.
Six clubs already
With the addition of Club Ambra and Club Perla Diamanté, the number of clubs has increased to six.
Ambra 0 points |
Acquamarina 1 - 2000 points |
||
Corallo 2.001 - 5.000 points |
Perla 5.001 - 13.000 points |
||
Perla Oro 13.001 - 26.000 points |
Perla Diamante from 26.001 points |
The more points you earn, the faster you advance to the next level.
Just like before, 100 points will be awarded for each boat day. The change, however, is that extra points can be earned after the days, namely in a specific amount depending on the type of cabin booked: So, the basic 100 points for an interior cabin, but 150 points for a cabin with a window, and 175 points for a cabin with a balcony.
In the case of our guests booking a premium cabin, the points are still doubled, i.e. they will receive 200 points for an interior cabin, 300 points for a cabin with a window, 350 points for a cabin with a balcony, and guests using a suite will collect approximately 450 points per day. We also give you points for the flight, up to a maximum of 500 points.
And that's not all. Points earned for on-board purchases are also doubled, meaning 2 points for every euro spent on purchases, including purchases made on the www.costacruises.com website prior to departure, as well as on-board purchases at discounted prices. However, as in previous practice, the price of cruise tickets does not entitle you to membership points.
Example for a 2016 Club scoring | Example before 2016 Club scoring |
7-day trip in a balcony cabin Classic category 175 x 7 = 1.225 points / cruise |
7-day trip in a balcony cabin Classic category 100 x 7 = 700 points / cruise |
Onboard shopping (400 €) 400 € x 2 = 800 points |
Onboard shopping (400 €) 280 points |
Total: 2.025 points | Total: 980 points |
Valid for three years
In the new CostaClub, the points you collect will remain valid for a certain period of time: each year the points collected in the previous three years will be valid. This rule applies to all CostaClub levels, from Acquamarina Club to Perla Diamante Club.
At the start of 2016, when the new CostaClub came into force, all points for the last three years (valid for the club according to your membership level) will be recalculated according to the new rules. This means you may earn points immediately, even for cruises you took between 2013 and 2015. There will be many of you who will be transferred to a higher level club this way. If someone were to transfer to a lower-level club with their new total score, we guarantee that they can stay at their current club for six months, as long as they take a cruise with us during that six-month period. In this way, you can enjoy the new privileges of your current club until June 2016, and during this time, thanks to the new rules, you can collect many, many new points.
