Here are the credit cards that we think are the best for cruise rewards. When you use your points wisely, the value you get from them makes these cards one of the best reward credit cards (whether it is airline, hotel or cruise).
Card | Annual Fee | Why We Rate This Card? |
---|---|---|
Norwegian Cruise Line® World MasterCard® |
$0 | We rate this card highly because you can get great value when you use points to redeem for a single or double class room upgrade. For example, you can upgrade from oceans view to balcony view. For many cruises (especially longer ones), the cost of upgrade far exceeds the points required. |
Princess Cruise Credit Card |
$0 | The points from this card has one of the best value for saving on your next cruise. If you your cruise cost $4000 or more (for example), you can get 2% redemption value from your points. If it is between $2,001 and $4000, you will still get a 1.5% redemption value. |
Carnival Cruise World MasterCard® |
$0 | If you cruise cost $1,500 or more, the points you use to redeem for a statement credit can be redeemed at 1.5%. While lower than the Princess Cruise points, it is still better than any other reward cards. |
