Step 23 (*Bonus)MSC Cruises Status Match

When it comes to the cruise line industry there are not many major cruise brands that offer any status match opportunities, that is until MSC Cruises entered the picture. European based company MSC Cruises first introduced their Voyagers Club Loyalty Program back in 2015 and changed the ways cruise line loyalty reward programs work. MSC Voyagers Club is completely free to join and all you have to do is fill out their simple form to create a new account. Once your account is created you can start enjoying the benefits of their Voyagers Club Loyalty Program for points and additional benefits starting with their Classic Voyagers Club tier.

It takes about a week for a response from MSC Cruises with confirmation on the status match. For the sake of this post, we have used our M life Gold status match for the MSC Cruise match which gave us Voyagers Club Silver. It is important to point out that there is no set in stone list of which hotel brand is best to use when doing the status match with MSC Cruises since it seems they have their own internal grading algorithm when completing status matches.
