arrivia and KrisFlyer, the rewards programme of Singapore Airlines Group, have expanded their partnership to allow members to redeem KrisFlyer miles for cruise bookings.
The enhancement gives members access to more than 30,000 itineraries across over 40 cruise lines through KrisFlyer Cruise, arrivia’s dedicated cruise booking platform.
Members can now use KrisFlyer miles to pay for cruises or combine miles and cash when making bookings. Available cruise operators include Royal Caribbean International, Disney Cruise Line and Princess Cruises, with itineraries covering destinations worldwide, including South-east Asia and Australia.
KrisFlyer members will also continue to earn two KrisFlyer miles for every US$1 spent on cruise fares booked through the platform.
According to the companies, the move is intended to expand redemption options beyond flights and provide members with access to a broader range of travel experiences.
The launch comes as the cruise sector continues to grow globally. The companies cited industry data showing that cruise passenger numbers reached 37.2 million in 2025, up 7.5 per cent year-on-year.
Bookings can be made through the KrisFlyer Cruise platform, where members can browse itineraries, redeem miles and access support from cruise specialists.
John Williams, COO of arrivia International, said: “This partnership is about giving KrisFlyer members more meaningful ways to use their miles.
“Cruises represent one of the fastest-growing and highest-value travel categories, and by offering cruising as a redemption option to KrisFlyer members, we are enabling members to access more rewarding experiences while helping drive stronger engagement within the programme.
“With thousands of sailings globally and dedicated cruise specialists, we are making cruise more accessible than ever.”
