Scenic & Emerald Rewards is the loyalty program covering Scenic and Emerald Cruises, with a tiered structure that provides additional benefits as members progress through the program. For ocean cruising, the rewards shown here range from priority onboard bookings and complimentary laundry to spa treatments, special welcome amenities and, at the highest tier, selected private excursions and other premium experiences.

Scenic & Emerald Rewards Membership Tiers
The Scenic & Emerald Rewards chart shows four membership levels:
- Gold
- Diamond
- Emerald
- Chairman’s Club
Benefits increase as members move through the tiers. Some perks are specifically identified as Scenic benefits, while others also apply to Emerald Cruises. Because availability and eligibility can vary, cruisers should always check the current terms associated with their membership before relying on a particular benefit.
Priority Onboard Bookings
Priority onboard bookings begin at the Diamond level according to the provided benefits chart.
Diamond, Emerald and Chairman’s Club members receive priority for onboard bookings covering restaurants, Scenic Discovery activities, helicopter experiences and submersible experiences on Scenic.
This can be a particularly useful loyalty benefit on an ocean cruise where certain dining reservations or experiences may have limited availability.
Complimentary Laundry Benefits
Complimentary laundry is another benefit that expands with membership status.
The chart lists:
- Diamond: 6 pieces per person, per day on Scenic
- Emerald: 6 pieces per person, per day on Scenic and 2 pieces per person, per day on Emerald
- Chairman’s Club: 6 pieces per person, per day on Scenic and 4 pieces per person, per day on Emerald
Limits apply to the complimentary laundry benefit.
For passengers on longer itineraries, this is one of the more practical Scenic & Emerald Rewards perks because it can reduce how much clothing needs to be packed and make it easier to manage laundry during the journey.
Emerald and Chairman’s Club Welcome Benefits
Beginning at the Emerald tier, members receive a personalised welcome on board and a suite amenity.
This benefit is also included for Chairman’s Club members.
The Chairman’s Club level adds another welcome perk: a bottle of Champagne, canapés, fruit and dessert platters.
These benefits are separate from the program’s dining, activity and excursion-related perks and are intended to enhance the onboard arrival experience.
Complimentary Massage or Facial Treatment
Emerald and Chairman’s Club members receive a complimentary one-hour massage or facial treatment per person.
For passengers interested in spa and wellness experiences during their cruise, this is one of the more substantial individual benefits shown on the rewards chart.
Chairman’s Club members also receive a complimentary Scenic Therabody chair session per person.
Chairman’s Club Benefits on Scenic Cruises
The Chairman’s Club represents the highest tier shown in the Scenic & Emerald Rewards material and includes several benefits not available at the lower levels.
In addition to the benefits already mentioned, Chairman’s Club members can receive:
- Private car excursion on Scenic Signature Yacht cruises from April 2027, where available
- One helicopter landing or flightseeing experience on selected Scenic departures from April 2028
- Exclusive access to the Chairman’s Club Lounge aboard Scenic Ikon
The private car excursion and helicopter or flightseeing benefits have specific implementation dates, so passengers sailing before those dates should not expect them to be available.
The chart also makes clear that the helicopter experience applies only to selected Scenic departures beginning in April 2028.
Chairman’s Club Specialty Dining Discount on Emerald Cruises
Chairman’s Club members receive a 25% discount on specialty dining at Night Market Grill aboard Emerald Kaia, Emerald Raiya and Emerald Xara.
This is one of the benefits in the chart specifically connected with dining aboard Emerald Cruises ships.
For travelers researching restaurants and specialty dining before an Emerald cruise, it is worth checking membership benefits alongside the ship’s dining options before making onboard plans.
Post-Journey Chairman’s Club Benefits
The benefits do not necessarily end when the cruise does.
The provided Scenic & Emerald Rewards information lists two post-journey benefits for Chairman’s Club members:
- Personalised welcome home experience
- Personalised welcome home hamper
No post-journey benefits are indicated in the chart for Gold, Diamond or Emerald members.
Important Scenic & Emerald Rewards Terms
The member terms and conditions shown with the benefits chart contain several important qualifications.
Scenic & Emerald Rewards loyalty benefits are subject to availability and may change. Unless otherwise stated, benefits apply to Scenic Group-operated vessels and itineraries only.
Third-party suppliers are not included as part of the Scenic Luxury Cruises or Emerald Cruises & Tours experiences covered by the program.
The terms also state that priority service from the Premium Guest Concierge team is available for guests booking through the Australian office and is not available to guests residing in other countries.
Additional restrictions and eligibility requirements can apply to individual benefits, so members should verify the current conditions applicable to their cruise, membership tier and country of residence.
Planning an Ocean Cruise With Scenic & Emerald Rewards
If you already have Scenic & Emerald Rewards status, reviewing the available benefits before departure can help you take advantage of perks that might otherwise be overlooked.
Priority restaurant reservations are particularly relevant when planning dining schedules, while laundry allowances may affect packing decisions on longer itineraries. Spa treatments, welcome amenities and Chairman’s Club experiences can also be worth factoring into an onboard activities plan.
Passengers should pay particular attention to benefits restricted to Scenic or Emerald Cruises, since the chart shows that not every perk applies equally across both brands.
