Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the new cruise line from the ultra luxurious hotel chain is now part of Marriott Bonvoy. Bonvoy member will be able to earn and redeem points for cruises, receive extra benefits based on elite status and more. They also state Marriott co-branded cards will earn accelerated points for the cruise purchases however we don't know if that is just for U.S. based cards or if it will apply to Canadian Marriott cards as well. We have reached to Amex to confirm.
