If you already hold Hilton Honors Diamond or
World of Hyatt Globalist, you're one match away from MSC Diamond, the second-highest tier in the Voyagers Club — no need to pass through Classic, Silver, or Gold first. A wide range of rival cruise lines' top tiers converts to MSC Diamond too, among them
Seabourn Club,
Seven Seas Society (Regent Seven Seas Cruises),
Ponant Yacht Club,
Cunard World Club,
Princess Captain's Circle, and
Celebrity Captain's Club — the reference below lists every qualifying tier.
Classic, the entry tier, asks for even less: elite status with Seabourn, Regent, Silversea, Oceania, Cunard, or Princess qualifies as soon as you hit each program's lowest or second-lowest rank. Silver is a step up: World of Hyatt Discoverist, IHG One Rewards Gold or Platinum Elite,
Best Western Rewards Platinum, and the next rung up within Oceania, Cunard, or Princess all clear it.
Gold is the one tier MSC confirms directly, on its own status-match page, for Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Diamond and Celebrity Captain's Club Elite. Hilton Gold, Hyatt Explorist,
Marriott Bonvoy's Platinum and Titanium Elite,
Wyndham Rewards Diamond,
Accor ALL Gold, and a handful of mid-level cruise tiers reach the same rank. Every one of these matches is a once-per-lifetime move, and the resulting status lapses if you don't sail with MSC within three years of approval.
Blue Diamond, the club's top tier, has no shortcut — you earn it only by cruising with MSC.
