I am elite plus on Celebrity, what would my status be on Explora ? 1 hour ago, maggie.1008 said: Any information about Explora offers for Military or interline rates ? I just posted for someone else that Explora had a discount offer for MSC/Status Match passengers but that's now over. As of yet, Explora does not have a loyalty program but my guess is that they will NOT be status matching other cruise lines .... At present, the price you see is the price you pay minus any agency discounts or obc promotions with some of the travel consortiums. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Dr. Cocktail Posted June 17, 2023 #77 Share Posted June 17, 2023 It appears that there's a new Status Match offer .... in the legal bits, it alludes to an Explora Loyalty program that will also likely offer Status Matching. https://explorajourneys.com/int/en/info/exclusive-welcome-match-terms-and-conditions 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted June 17, 2023 #78 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Interesting that MSC Diamond gets the maximum 200 credits while the other mass market line's top tiers get 100. Edited June 17, 2023 by Até Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All strange. HAL 5* also gets 200 but Princess, is not even listed. Strange. I also notice they do not say where to send the request for the match. Another question I have is are these points worth anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything including booking questions and issues goes to contact@explorajourneys.com Crazy how they determine what one gets.. they do give top tier Seabourn 200 points. Interesting too the hotels linked, such as 4 Seasons.... My DW would not like it if I get 200 for 4 seasons and she gets 100 for Seabourn.. The links did state that once Explora does create their own program they will be linked. It also states that these credits can be applied to the folio. Value per???

Almost forgot about that in my favors for a Yacht Club (and to a lesser extent MSC) Loyalty Credit promotion to book Explora Journeys. At least some attempt was made to mine the MSC passengers at that time. I believe it was a 2-stateroom class upgrade and a $500 OBC? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseCrew123 Posted June 13 #94 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Not sure they know what demographic they are chasing . The MSC offer worked for us and we had originally booked sept 23 Panama to Miami. A couple of cancellations later and we are now going B2B from Athens Edited June 13 by CruiseCrew123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Haw Haw Posted June 13 #95 Share Posted June 13 We have never sailed on MSC branded ships but have spent 5 weeks on Explora so far with another 3 booked and haven't heard a word about any loyalty program so don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would extend that to January 2025. Our cruise is still the same price that we booked. I’d cancel that for 200.00 and rebook this….however I’m sure that isn’t going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
