Global leader in travel-based loyalty and rewards solutions, arrivia, has announced a partnership with Spirit Airlines to power the cruise booking platform, Free Spirit Cruises.

Launched on November 3, the program gives Free Spirit members and credit card holders access to discounted cruise fares while also providing the ability to earn Free Spirit points with their booking.

"This collaboration brings together two brands that understand value-conscious travelers," said Mike Nelson, CEO of arrivia in a statement. "We're excited to help Spirit Airlines elevate its loyalty experience by giving Free Spirit members new ways to explore the world—whether by air or sea—while earning the rewards that make travel even more accessible."

The partnership expands arrivia’s list of global airlines and loyalty clients, reinforcing its leadership as the engine behind some of the world’s most innovative and loyalty travel programs.

Chris Daughtery, Director of Loyalty and Guest Services at Spirit Airlines said, "Travelers have long trusted Spirit for affordable flights and exceptional value, and now they can unlock exclusive new savings and rewards on their next cruise."

"Our new partnership with arrivia allows members to earn from the airport to the cruise port, making their next vacation even more rewarding," Daughtery continued.
