Voyages AquaTerra · Royal Caribbean Offer
Double Crown & Anchor Points:
the offer to grab before July 31, 2026
The first double-points promotion offered to the general public in about four years. Two cruises maximum. A ten-day window.
Royal Caribbean International is offering double Crown & Anchor points on every new booking made from July 21 to 31, 2026, for cruises sailing between September 1, 2026 and April 30, 2027, on a maximum of two eligible cruises. The membership number must be on the booking from the moment it is created, and transatlantic and transpacific crossings are excluded. Voyages AquaTerra's cruise advisors can check your points balance and book before the deadline.

Understand
What is the Crown & Anchor Society?
The Crown & Anchor Society is Royal Caribbean International's loyalty program. Enrollment is free and points build with every cruise: 1 point per night on board, or 2 points per night in a suite (Junior Suite and above) or single occupancy. Points are not redeemed for cruises: they determine a status, held for life, that unlocks increasingly valuable benefits on board and before departure.
Seasoned cruisers aim above all for Diamond status, where the benefits concretely change the experience: daily drink vouchers, access to the Crown Lounge and enhanced stateroom discounts. Here are the program levels:
| Level | Points required | Benefit highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 3 | Onboard savings, member-only offers |
| Platinum | 30 | Balcony and suite discounts, priority boarding |
| Emerald | 55 | Enhanced discounts, exclusive reception |
| Diamond | 80 | Daily drink vouchers, Crown Lounge access |
| Diamond Plus | 175 | Additional vouchers, behind-the-scenes tours, upgrade priority |
| Pinnacle Club | 700 | The summit of the program: lifetime recognition and privileges |
Benefits by level are set by Royal Caribbean and may change; your advisor can confirm current details.
Do the math
How many points does this promotion really earn?
The math is simple: everything doubles. A 7-night cruise in an interior, ocean-view or balcony stateroom earns 14 points instead of 7. The same week in a junior suite or above earns 28 points instead of 14, since the suite bonus doubles too.
And because the offer covers up to two cruises, a member who books a southern getaway in January and a family spring-break cruise, both 7 nights in suites, walks away with 56 points. Normally, it would take four identical cruises to build that total.
A concrete example: a Platinum member with 45 points books 7 nights in a junior suite during the promotion. Those 28 points move them straight to Emerald, just 7 points from Diamond. A second booking during the window, even in a standard stateroom, gets them over that line. Years of accumulation, condensed into a single winter.
Check
The conditions to know before booking
Three pitfalls come up often, and they are all resolved before the booking rather than after. First, the Crown & Anchor number must be on the file from the moment the booking is created: adding it later can change the fare or remove the offer. Second, transatlantic and transpacific crossings are excluded, as are travel agent rates, seminars at sea and casino bookings. Finally, a points transfer request under the Points Choice program cancels the offer's bonus points — an important detail for members who share points with a spouse.
The offer applies to new bookings only. An existing file cannot be converted automatically; in some cases a new booking can be worth it, but the full math has to be done, because the original fare can be lost. That is exactly the kind of judgment call an advisor makes in minutes.
Act
How to take advantage of the offer in three steps
Step one: find your Crown & Anchor number, or let your advisor do it for you — enrollment is free if you don't have one. Step two: choose your cruise among eligible sailings between September 2026 and April 2027; the Caribbean in the middle of a Quebec winter and spring break are natural picks. Step three: book before July 31, 2026 with the number on file, with a deposit that locks in the fare. The trip details can be fine-tuned afterwards.
The price does not change during the promotion: the offer combines with regular individual and group rate programs, so the doubled points come on top of the best eligible fare. Booking through an advisor costs nothing more and adds protection: Voyages AquaTerra holds a permit from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur and its clients are covered by the FICAV compensation fund.
