On cruises with Royal Caribbean, P&O, and Cunard it is possible to use Tesco Clubcard points to pay for your cruise.

The value of the Clubcard points are usually multiplied meaning that £1 worth of Clubcard points will usually pay for more than £1 worth of cruise.

Which Cruise Lines Accept Tesco Clubcard Points as Payment?

Royal Caribbean, P&O Cruises, and Cunard allow passengers to book cruises using Tesco Clubcard points.

These are a number of terms and conditions attached to the purchase which normally include a minimum spend and maximum voucher value.

Using Tesco Clubcard points can be a great way to save money on a cruise as the value is multiplied.

What Are Clubcard Points and How Do I Get Them?

Clubcard points are loyalty points gathered by shopping in the UK supermarket Tesco.

To get a Clubcard you must sign up online or in-store. You can then scan your Clubcard or scan the code on the Tesco App each time you shop in Tesco.

Shoppers collect 1 point for every £1 that they spend in Tesco stores or 1 point for every litre of fuel in Tesco petrol stations.

100 points are worth £1.

Clubcard points can be ‘spent’ in Tesco as payment – or can be exchanged with a number of other companies for vouchers which are usually an increased value on the Clubcard fare.

Using Clubcard Points to Book a Royal Caribbean Cruise

One of the most popular cruise lines to book using Clubcard points is the American cruise line Royal Caribbean.

Royal Caribbean are popular with families, young adults, and older adults too. They sail across the world and have many large and exciting ships.

£1 worth of Tesco Clubcard points is worth £2 when applied to a Royal Caribbean cruise.

There are a few terms and conditions which relate to buying Royal Caribbean cruises with Tesco Clubcard points:

Minimum Cruise Value

The cruise must cost at least £510 per guest (excluding taxes). This must be the file price that you are paying per passenger so no discounts or deals can reduce this price. This price also cannot include gratuities.

Maximum Clubcard Reward

The maximum value of Clubcard points that you can purchase is £510 per guest.

Cruise Payment Date

Cruises must be booked, and fully paid at least 69 nights before departure. 69 nights seems like a bit of an odd timeframe since most travel agents and cruise lines ask for payment 60 days before.

Cruise Length

Note: Royal Caribbean are able to convert the spend back into Clubcard points if they need to do so.

The cruise must be at least 7 nights long.

Age Restrictions

One guest must be at least at least 18, or 21 if cruising around North America and Canada. This is pretty standard for most cruise lines.

New Bookings Only

If you have already booked a Royal Caribbean cruise you cannot use Tesco Clubcard points to pay off the remaining balance. Tesco Clubcard points are valid only for new bookings.

Cruise Booking Only

The value of the Tesco Clubcards can only be used against the cruise itself. If buying as part of a package the Tesco Clubcard points cannot be used against flights, hotels, excursions or any other onboard expenses. This means that your cruise itself (without flights) must cost the £510 mentioned above per guest.

Other Discounts

Tesco Clubcard cannot be used with the following discounts: Future Cruise Certificates, Defence Discounts, Blue Light Card Discounts or any cashback sites.
Vouchers can be used with Crown and Anchor Society discounts (Royal Caribbeans loyalty scheme).

If you cancel your cruise after having paid with Clubcard points Royal Caribbean may keep some to cover things like cancellation charges.

Offers

Clubcard points can be used with other offers apart from ‘repeat booker’ offers. The vouchers cannot be used for ‘Early’ or ‘Saver’ fare – so can only be used on ‘Select’ fares.
- A ‘Early’ fare is a fare booked fare in advance where you have less flexibility. You’ll be assigned a cabin number and don’t have as much choice about dining times/table sizes. A ‘Saver’ fare is the same thing but usually just not booked so far in advance.
- A ‘Select’ fare gives you a choice of cabin number and priority for dining times. There are a few other perks but these are the main ones. To read more about select fares, check out P&O Cruises’s website here: P&O Cruises, FAQ.
