Cunard World Club is Cunard's multi-tiered loyalty program for past passengers. It bases its levels on number of cruises taken or cruise nights completed, whichever is greater. Enrollment is automatic upon completion of your first cruise.
If your first sailing is a longer one -- for example, in the case of a world cruise, partial world cruise or full Panama Canal transit -- your initial enrollment in Cunard's loyalty program would be based on the number of cruise nights completed, so you could enter the program on one of the higher tiers.
You will only get the benefits of the membership level you have reached prior to embarkation. If you reach enough days sailed for a new loyalty program level while you are on a cruise, you will have to wait until your next cruise to receive any of those benefits.
All members enjoy notification of special offers from Cunard and some of the cruise line's partners, including several other travel brands. As members progress through the tiers, they receive tier pins; free internet; cocktail party invitations; priority check-in, embarkation and disembarkation in select ports; and more.
Special rates are offered to Cunard World Club members on select sailings, which might include upgrades and/or onboard credits. Double-check the special fares to see if they really are better than the rates you can get on your own.
