Caesars Rewards has quietly added a new elite perk for Diamond Elite members: a cruise of up to 7 days in an Oceanview stateroom on Norwegian Cruise Lines for cruises to destinations like the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Mexican Riviera and more. Alternatively, Diamond Elite members could cruise to Alaska with an Inside stateroom. Either way, the offer is subject to some taxes and fees, but it could nonetheless be an attractive deal for high-level Caesars elites. Keep in mind that Diamond Elite is two tiers above Caesars Diamond, so this will only be attractive to those who are invested in the Caesars ecosystem with significant spend/gambling.
The Deal
- Caesars Rewards has launched a partnership with Norwegian Cruise Lines whereby Caesars members can enjoy savings on Norwegian, with Diamond Elite members able to take advantage of an offer for a 7-night Oceanview cabin cruise offer to “the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Mexican Riviera, and more” or an Interior cabin cruise offer to Alaska.

Quick Thoughts
Caesars elites can enjoy savings on Norwegian cruise lines that range from 5% to 30% depending on elite status level of cabin type being booked.
However, it looks like Caesars and Norwegian have added a “Congratulatory” cruise for Diamond Elite members (I believe this already existed for Seven Stars members previously).
That’s obviously a nice benefit for those who enjoy cruising, though it is worth noting that Caesars Diamond Elite status isn’t easy to earn unless you’re a big Caesars spender / gambler.
Whereas it is possible to match from Wyndham Diamond to Caesars Diamond status if you have earned Wyndham Diamond through stay activity (not for those with Wyndham status from the Wyndham Earner Business credit card), that won’t give you any meaningful shortcut to Diamond Elite. Getting to Diamond Elite requires 75,000 tier credits in a membership year (and the terms note that in order to get this benefit, Diamond Elite or Seven Stars members must earn 75K tier credits in 2026).
That is a relatively high bar to clear since you earn 1 tier credit per dollar spent on hotel/dining/shopping at Caesars properties and will need to earn most of the rest through gambling. It is possible to get tier credits from the credit card, though you’ll only earn a total of 20,000 tier credits after $50,000 spent on the Caesars Prestige card (that’s 2,500 tier credits after $5K spend and again at $10K spend, plus 15,000 tier credits after $50K spend). At the time of writing, the welcome bonus on the card includes another 2,500 tier credits after meeting minimum spending requirements, which means it is possible to earn 22,500 total tier credits from the credit card after $50K in purchases in the first calendar year. The leaves you another 52,500 tier credits short of Diamond Elite.
Caesars does occasionally run 10X tier credit days, where it is possible to earn tier credits at an accelerated rate. That can certainly make it easier to reach 75,000 tier credits, though it would require a bit of dedication and effort, particularly for those looking to earn tier credits with low expected loss.
However, if you are a Diamond Elite member or are within striking distance, this is obviously good news.

Interesting story for those of us who have previously done the “free cruise deals,” but this is now a gambling deal (as it should be), and not a credit card points deal.Sad, but I suppose inevitable.
Thanks Nick. Do you have a link to the original source, by chance?
I don’t see Eye of the Flyer mentioning “Caesars” since January 2025.
