As part of a groundbreaking collaboration, Carnival Cruise Line is extending a warm invitation to casino enthusiasts by partnering with Bally’s Corporation, a global leader in gaming and entertainment, to bestow cruise benefits upon members of Bally’s Rewards program.

Bally Rewards’ Legend, SuperStar, and Star tier members will now be eligible for complimentary and discounted cruises aboard Carnival’s beloved fleet of 27 ships. This alliance not only expands the reach of both brands, but also affords special events and other opportunities for their loyal customers.  

Carnival Cruise Line, renowned as America’s Cruise Line, operates from 14 U.S. homeports, a record unmatched by any other cruise line, while Bally’s operates 15 celebrated properties across the country.

“We’re committed to our Carnival Players Club guests and in Bally’s, we have a partner that values its own loyal guests with the same fervor. We have plenty of fun to go around across our fleet, so we’re excited to bring Bally’s on board with us and look forward to growing this unique partnership,” Marty Goldman, Carnival Corporation’s senior vice president of global casino operations, said in a news release.

"This collaboration brings together two industry leaders, combining the excitement of Bally's gaming experience with the unparalleled entertainment and hospitality of Carnival Cruise Line. Together, we will create unforgettable experiences for our guests, both on land and at sea,” said Mike Donovan, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of gaming for Bally’s Corporation.

“This partnership represents a new chapter in our commitment to providing exceptional entertainment and gaming options to our valued patrons," Donovan continued.
