The Castaway Club is Disney Cruise Line’s version of a loyalty program for return cruise passengers. Unlike other cruise lines which take in consideration the number of nights you have sailed, Disney Cruise Line’s benefits increase based on the number of cruises you have sailed. Essentially, a 3-night cruise to the Bahamas earns a passenger the same credit as a 15-night Transatlantic cruise. Following your first cruise, you will be a Silver Castaway Club member. Gold Castaway Club benefits being after your fifth cruise, Platinum Castaway Club status following your tenth, and Pearl Castaway Club after you complete your 25th voyage.

On November 28, 2022, Disney Cruise Line announced Pearl as the new level of Castaway Club membership for guests with 25 or more completed cruises. It was revealed the new level will launch on May 1, 2023.
