India, April 8, 2024: RCI on its 50th anniversary announced the launch of its first-ever Cruise Exchange Programme in India. This exchange now enables members to leverage their timeshare ownership to access discounted rates on cruise bookings worldwide, further expanding their travel options and rewards.
As RCI celebrates its 50th anniversary, the company continues to expand its range of holiday booking experiences for its members. In addition to flight bookings, property accommodations, and other travel arrangements, now offers a new vacation exchange service for its members.
The exchange programme typically offers flexibility in terms of cruise options, allowing members to choose from a range of sailings, including different destinations, cruise lengths, and cabin categories. RCI members can access special discounts on cabin bookings, with a maximum of eight cabins for standard members and unlimited cabins for RCI Plus members. To be eligible for the programme, members need to have an active membership status and at least one week deposited in their account with 7 Trading Power points.
Discounts vary for each cruise liner and depend on the season of sailing. William Hall, vice-president of marketing and digital for RCI EMEA, APAC & India, commented, “We are excited to launch the cruise exchange programme for our RCI family. We are confident that our members will be delighted to experience a memorable vacation which helps them explore multiple destinations while enjoying all the comforts and amenities of a floating resort., With this launch, RCI continues to demonstrate how it has evolved from a timeshare exchange company to a full travel membership platform that meets the evolving needs and preferences of contemporary travellers.”
