After leaving his full-time job in 2014 to travel the world, he created his own website, SkyeTravels.com, to make traveling a reality for everyone, no matter their financial means. He’s a big fan of reward programs for maximizing points and traveling for less. He’s most often found working diligently in a cafe somewhere in the world. So far, he’s been to over 60 countries and counting.

Delta Cruises (formerly SkyMiles Cruises) is a great way to earn SkyMiles. On all bookings, you'll earn a flat 2X SkyMiles per dollar spent and can occasionally leverage lucrative promotions. Depending on how much you're spending on a cruise, this new earning rate can be far more rewarding than the previous program — which was a flat rate based on the length of your cruise. In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about earning Delta SkyMiles on cruises.
