Cairns-based Coral Expeditions has been operating adventure cruises since 1983. Its fleet of small ships ventures to destinations throughout Australia, including the Great Barrier Reef, as well as further afield to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific.
For its most loyal explorers, Coral Expeditions offers extra perks through Xplorers Club. Here’s what to expect.
How does Xplorers Club work?
Like many cruise loyalty programs, Coral Expeditions’ Xplorers Club has a straightforward structure. The more nights you spend onboard, the higher you’ll move up the ranks and the more rewards you’ll earn.
Xplorers Club has four membership tiers:
- Silver – 6-13 nights.
- Gold – 14-50 nights.
- Platinum – 51+ nights.
- Lifetime – 101+ nights.
Unlike other cruise rewards programs, the highest tier of Xplorers Club requires far fewer nights to attain. (For example, you need 700 points to reach the top tier of Latitudes Rewards and 200 points to unlock VIFP Club‘s Diamond level.) Do note, though, that Coral Expeditions’ cruiseliners are far smaller, and therefore the offerings
Passengers can join Xplorers Club after their first cruise with Coral Expeditions.
