Wynn Las Vegas has announced a strategic partnership with MSC Cruises to enhance its Wynn Rewards loyalty program by adding a suite of exclusive cruise benefits for tiered members on an annual basis. Although not a government announcement, this collaboration has been officially reflected in the updated Wynn Rewards benefits list on the Wynn Las Vegas website and confirmed by cruise industry reporting, showing how top‑tier loyalty members can now redeem cruise‑related perks including discounts on select sailings, complimentary cruise nights, and access to luxury cruise experiences at sea. This partnership positions Wynn Las Vegas and MSC Cruises to better serve travel‑minded loyalty members by expanding the value proposition of Wynn’s hospitality rewards into the cruise travel segment.
What the Partnership Means
Under this new arrangement, MSC Cruises becomes the exclusive cruise partner for Wynn Las Vegas’ tiered loyalty program, Wynn Rewards. This means that members of the Wynn Rewards program — which includes Red, Platinum and Black tiers — can unlock seasonal cruise benefits based on their loyalty status. Enhancements to annual benefits include preferred pricing, complimentary or discounted cruise nights, onboard credits and access to premium cruise amenities.
According to the updated Wynn Rewards terms and benefits page, Wynn Rewards members may receive up to 30 percent off select MSC Cruises sailings, and top tiers can claim complimentary cruises of up to 10 nights, accompanied with onboard casino credits depending on the member tier.
This travel‑industry expansion marks a notable shift in how casino and resort loyalty programs are integrating global cruise options into their premium reward structures, giving loyal members more ways to redeem points and experience travel beyond land‑based hospitality.
Loyalty Tiers and Cruise Benefits Explained
Benefits differ by Wynn Rewards tier and are structured to reflect member engagement levels:
- Red Tier Members: Eligible for preferred pricing — up to 30 percent off select MSC Cruises — although they are not eligible for complimentary cruises.
- Platinum Tier Members: May qualify for one complimentary cruise of up to ten nights in an Oceanview stateroom with USD 100 onboard casino credit.
- Black Tier Members: Can receive one complimentary cruise of up to ten nights in an Aurea Suite plus USD 200 onboard casino credit.
These benefits are in addition to existing resort and hospitality rewards available through Wynn Las Vegas, effectively adding sea travel incentives to existing land‑based perks.
Travel‑Industry Perspective: Benefits for Travellers
From a travel and loyalty perspective, this partnership delivers several advantages for frequent travellers and loyalty members:
Advantages for Travellers
1. Expanded Reward Options
Wynn Rewards members now have the opportunity to redeem loyalty status not only for casino, hotel or dining perks but also for cruise travel benefits, including discounts or complimentary sailings.
2. Preferred Pricing on Cruises
Members can access significant savings — up to 30 percent — on selected MSC Cruises itineraries based on their Wynn Rewards tier, offering enhanced value for travel spend.
3. Complimentary Cruise Nights
Higher‑tier members enjoy the potential for complimentary cruise nights, including onboard credits that can be used for gaming or onboard experiences, which is a compelling cross‑segment reward blending casino and cruise interests.
4. Luxury Access with MSC Yacht Club
Top‑tier benefits include access to MSC’s “ship‑within‑a‑ship” luxury concept, the MSC Yacht Club, offering elevated accommodations, personalised service and exclusive amenities akin to high‑end resorts at sea.
5. Seamless Transition from Land to Sea Travel
The integration of casino loyalty rewards with cruise benefits helps members transition effortlessly from land‑based luxury experiences to sea journeys, broadening the appeal of loyalty program redemption choices.
Disadvantages and Considerations
Despite the clear benefits, some elements travellers should consider include:
1. Tier‑Dependent Eligibility
Complimentary cruise perks are primarily reserved for higher tier members, meaning entry‑level members may not access the most generous rewards without advancing in the loyalty program.
2. Limited Cruise Availability
Discounts and perks may apply only to select sailings and cabins and not be universally available across all MSC Cruises itineraries. Members may need flexibility in travel plans to take full advantage.
3. Terms and Conditions
Redemption of perks, such as complimentary cruises, may involve additional conditions such as deposits, travel windows and onboard credit policies set by both Wynn Rewards and MSC Cruises.
4. Exclusions
Certain categories (such as Yacht Club staterooms) may be excluded from some discount offers, and benefits may not extend to all destinations — particularly Asia‑based sailings — depending on the terms.
Why This Matters for Loyalty and Travel Integration
This collaboration between Wynn Las Vegas and MSC Cruises represents a growing trend in the travel sector: cross‑industry loyalty partnerships that bridge land‑based and sea‑based travel experiences. Increasingly, travel brands recognise that high‑value travellers seek cohesive loyalty value across different segments — whether casino resorts, luxury hotels, or international cruises. By connecting Wynn Rewards with MSC’s global cruise offerings, both organisations aim to retain loyal customers and attract new travellers who value comprehensive reward opportunities.
For MSC Cruises, the partnership reinforces its strategic expansion in North America — a key market where cruise reward programmes increasingly influence traveller choice and booking behaviour.
Conclusion
The decision by Wynn Las Vegas to partner with MSC Cruises as the exclusive cruise benefit partner for its Wynn Rewards loyalty programme marks a significant development in travel‑industry rewards integration. Loyalty members can now redeem enhanced benefits including cruise savings, complimentary nights and luxury cruise access — a step that enhances the overall travel experience and reflects evolving preferences among frequent travellers who value flexibility and premium rewards. While the perks vary by tier and terms apply, this move broadens the appeal of Wynn Rewards and positions both brands to capture more loyalty‑driven travel demand in 2026 and beyond.
