Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced a new partnership with Carnival Cruise Line, giving Wyndham Rewards members a more rewarding and streamlined way to book cruise vacations. Through the Wyndham Travel Bundles platform, members can book Carnival cruises and bundle them with additional travel needs such as flights, hotel stays, rental cars, and excursions, all while earning Wyndham Rewards points for each booking. The collaboration will make vacation planning more convenient while maximizing value for loyalty members.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts GVP of Guest Engagement, Loyalty, & Strategic Partnerships, Michael Shiwdin, said, “Carnival is the world’s most popular cruise line, and its iconic red funnel serves as a passport to unforgettable journeys - making it the perfect addition to Wyndham Travel Bundles. From setting sail to unwinding after an adventure at sea, members earn every step of the way. It’s all turning dream vacations into even more rewarding experiences, giving travelers more ways to explore, more ways to earn, and more ways to make the most out of every adventure.”
Carnival Cruise Line EVP and Chief Commercial Officer Ken Tate added, “Wyndham is a fantastic partner, and we’re eager to work together on creating even more unforgettable vacations and giving their loyalty members a fresh and easy way to enjoy our cruises. This collaboration not only expands our reach but also offers travelers a seamless, all-in-one vacation experience.”
Wyndham Rewards members benefit significantly from the partnership through a new structure that offers one point per dollar spent on cruise bundles, flights, car rentals, and airport transfers. Hotel stays and activities within the bundle earn even more, up to 10 points per dollar. Moreover, members can “double dip,” earning points from Wyndham while simultaneously collecting rewards from other travel loyalty programs, such as airline and car rental partners.
Carnival’s cruise offers many options, from exploring tropical islands in the Caribbean and Mexico to cruising the Mediterranean and relaxing at Celebration Key, Carnival’s exclusive destination. Additionally, Wyndham Hotels’ wide presence near major cruise ports adds convenience to the travel experience, making it easy for travelers to book pre- or post-cruise accommodations and keep earning or redeeming rewards throughout their trip.
To celebrate the launch, Wyndham is offering double points for all Travel Bundle bookings made through April 30, 2025, as part of its Member Month promotion. To qualify, travel bookings must be completed by December 31, 2025. The Travel Bundles platform, developed in partnership with Snowstorm Technologies, ensures a user-friendly booking experience. However, travelers should note that changes or cancellations must be made within 24 hours.
