Is there a credit card that is especially beneficial to Cruisers ?

We all have a favorite cash back , hotel or airline credit card.

Is there such a thing as a credit card that extends holders good benefits for cruising ? 🚢

Royal Caribbean, as one, has their own sponsored Visa card that has cruise benefits accrued via points based on spending.  A number of years ago when it was first introduced I had one which I used for business expenses and over a couple of years time accrued enough points for a free cruise for my wife and I. 

 

I no longer have that card and, as I understand it, things have changed over the years considerably and the benefits earned require higher point totals than years ago, and I don't think the levels I attained would provide a free cruise today.

 

There are other cards that have earned points that can translate to different participating cruise lines.  I think you would just have to google that topic to see which cards might apply.

I think most of the major cruise lines offer a branded card with different benefits.
