Rewarding our community of world explorers

Rewarding our community of world explorers

CR:EW (Cruise Routes Explorers of the World) isn’t your average loyalty program.

You become part of the CR:EW from your very first booking. No need to ‘register your interest’. And the more you travel with us, the more you benefit – not just in points, but in how well we know you, and how to make your journeys even more special.

CR:EW (Cruise Routes: Explorers of the World)

Cruise Routes is redefining how we reward our clients. Moving beyond the outdated model of tiered loyalty schemes and generic point-collecting systems, we’ve created a dynamic, client-first rewards experience where every client receives premium perks – from their very first booking.

We celebrate loyalty in a way that feels personal, generous, and engaging. Clients earn points for every pound spent, which can be redeemed for cabin upgrades, onboard credits, private transfers, and exclusive discounts on future voyages. Frequent bookers benefit from accelerated points earning, offering even greater value for their continued trust.

In addition to points, clients enjoy surprise travel and cruise perks, personally selected by their Cruise Consultant and Cruise Coordinator to complement their holiday plans, and tailored to their travel history and preferences. This could be celebratory onboard gifts, upgrades on their travel or personalised itinerary enhancements.

But this programme goes far beyond points. A dedicated Membership Manager will oversee the whole experience, continuously innovating ways to engage members, curate exclusive events, and ensure seamless service. Cruise Consultants and Cruise Coordinators will personally select and invite clients to these bespoke events – from luxury hospitality experiences to intimate gatherings – designed to deepen relationships and build a sense of community.

Afternoon tea is often one of the most cherished rituals at sea – a moment of calm, connection, and quiet luxury. Its journey across historic maritime routes made tea a global symbol of exploration and cultural exchange, inspiring the Cruise Routes Membership experience . With each cruise, clients receive a handcrafted teacup and saucer, designed by a local artist from their destination. With over 20 designs to collect, this unique teaware becomes a personal gallery of travel memories.  On your 10th cruise, you’ll receive a limited-edition teapot, and from time to time, discover rare tea accessories.

This is a reflection of our commitment to making every client feel valued, recognised, and inspired to return.

The height of afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is often one of the most cherished rituals at sea – a moment of calm, connection, and quiet luxury. Its journey across historic maritime routes made tea a global symbol of exploration and cultural exchange, inspiring the CR:EW Membership experience.

To celebrate this tradition, for every cruise you take with us, you’ll receive a handcrafted teacup and saucer – designed by a local artist from the destination you’ve visited. With over 20 designs to collect, this unique teaware will become a personal gallery of your travel memories. 

On your 10th cruise, you’ll receive a limited-edition teapot, plus additional rare tea accessories for every journey thereafter. And if you reach a 20th cruise, well – you’ll have to wait and see. But we can tell you it’ll be special, it’ll be personal, and it’ll be tea-related.
