Scenic Chairman's Rewards Key points and highlights:
MyRewards are calculated based on 1% of all guest spend on Scenic and Emerald cruises, land journeys and flights. MyRewards are not earned on port charges and taxes, flight taxes, credit card fees and gratuities (if applicable).
MyRewards can be redeemed on any ocean cruise, river cruise or land journey including upgrades and extensions. They cannot be used as part of your deposit payment.
Scenic and Emerald MyRewards will be applied on the day after the last day of your cruise or land journey.
Members are currently able to redeem their MyRewards and use them towards a future cruise or land journey. Please note that MyRewards are applied to a members account post travel and can only be redeemed once applied.
When a single booking is made for multiple people, each traveler earns their own MyRewards, not the person who made the booking. The booker will only earn MyRewards on the share of the booking that relates to their own travel.
MyRewards will be valid and can be used within 3 years from the date of issue.
MyRewards can be applied to your booking by contacting your Global Journeys Travel Advisor. Let us know that you would like to use your MyRewards, and the value will be deducted from the total balance of your booking.
No, deposits must be paid as per our current terms and conditions.
MyRewards cannot be transferred to friends or family. They can however be used between guests who are travelling together on the same booking.
Status Points are the points you earn when you travel with Scenic or Emerald. The number of Status Points you receive depends on your booking type (for example, ocean vs river cruising) and your suite category, with higher suite types earning more points. Unlike Scenic and Emerald ‘MyRewards’, your Status Points cannot be used as credit on future bookings or purchases; they exist solely to help you move up through the membership levels
Status Points do not expire with the Scenic & Emerald Rewards program and once earned, will be yours for life.
You can check your status points balance by referring to your membership emails, where your current balance is displayed, or you can contact your Global Journeys Travel Advisor who access all your loyalty details - including your loyalty number, status points and MyRewards balance.
