Hyatt and Lindblad Expeditions End Partnership

World of Hyatt loyalty members will no longer be able to earn Hyatt points for – or use Hyatt points for – cruising with Lindblad Expeditions. The two companies are ending their five-year partnership at the end of this year, according to The Points Guy.

Hyatt and Lindblad first partnered in 2019, giving World of Hyatt members the ability to earn points on paid cruises, as well as use points for cruises. The partnership also gave members perks onboard, such as onboard credits.

Travelers with existing Lindblad reservations booked through Hyatt’s website, along with new reservations made by Dec. 31, will still qualify for World of Hyatt points and qualifying nights.

Lindblad recently expanded its relationship with National Geographic by 17 years.
