StarDream Rewards Points Guide 2025: Earn, Redeem & Tier Benefits
Dreaming of making every cruise night more rewarding? The StarDream Rewards program-previously known as Genting Dream Rewards-lets you turn your onboard spending into exclusive perks and savings. Whether you're a frequent cruiser or a first-time guest, this guide will help you understand how to earn and redeem points, climb membership tiers, and enjoy premium privileges onboard.
Membership is completely free for guests aged 18+, and signing up takes just a minute. You can register online or during your next sailing to start earning instantly.
β How StarDream Rewards Works
StarDream Rewards has two types of points: Tier Points (TP) and Rewards Points (RP). Here's how they differ:
- Tier Points (TP): Decide your membership level (Silver, Gold, Platinum). They hold no cash value and reset every six months after your tier review.
- Rewards Points (RP): Have a monetary value-1 RP = $1 in onboard currency. They can be redeemed for dining, spa, shopping, Wi-Fi, and more.
Points are earned from eligible onboard purchases or when you book your StarDream Cruise online through your member account.
β¨ Quick Overview
- Earn 1 TP + 5 RP for every $100 spent onboard (local cruise currency).
- Website bookings post immediately; onboard spend credits within 24 hours after your cruise ends.
- Show your physical membership card to earn or redeem rewards onboard.
π― Tier Upgrade Requirements (Within 6 Months)
To maintain or upgrade your tier, you must earn the required Tier Points within six months from your last review date. Use this quick guide to estimate your target spend:
| Tier | TP Needed (SGD) | Approx. Spend (SGD) | TP Needed (HKD) | Approx. Spend (HKD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | 15 | 1,500 | 80 | 8,000 |
| Gold | 150 | 15,000 | 850 | 85,000 |
| Platinum | 1,100 | 110,000 | 6,500 | 650,000 |
Example: Spend SGD 100 onboard the Genting Dream Cruise and earn 1 TP + 5 RP.
