Swiss-Belhotel International has formed a partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer program that allows its members to earn Qantas Points when staying at Swiss-Belhotel properties in Australia and worldwide.

Crystal has reported a solid start for bookings aboard the luxury cruise line’s first expedition vessel, Crystal Endeavor, a ship that is destined to call Australia home for a short period of time during its inaugural season in late 2020, offering sailings to Antarctica from Hobart and across the ditch from Christchurch.

“We expect many of our members will jump at the opportunity to use a combination of traditional payment along with Qantas Points to upgrade their room from perhaps a pool-view to a beachfront view, or even extend the length of their holiday,” Hutchison said.

Guests travelling on an APT Luxury River Cruise will earn two Frequent Flyer points per $1 spent, and all other APT holidays, including classic journeys, small group discoveries, 4WD adventures and small ship cruising will receive one point per $1 spent.
