Explora Journeys is launching a new partnership with the Hilton Honors loyalty program, the company announced in a press release.
The luxury brand will become the exclusive luxury ocean travel partner for the debut of Hilton Honors Adventures, which is described as an extension of Hilton’s 235-million-member loyalty program.
Explora explained that Hilton Honors members will be able to book, earn and redeem their loyalty points for the company’s cruises in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Caribbean.
The program will also be available for sailings to Alaska and Asia starting in 2027, the company continued.
A preview offer is currently available and includes 16 Explora Journeys sailings. Hilton Honors members will be able to take advantage of the promotion through June 7, 2026.
“This partnership unites two brands committed to thoughtful travel, meaningful connection, and deep discovery,” said Explora’s President Anna Nash.
“At Explora Journeys, we believe in giving our guests the time and space to slow down, choose intentionally, and feel truly in tune with their surroundings; this is what we call ‘The Ocean State of Mind.’ Together, we’re offering Hilton Honors members a stay at sea that blends the freedom of the ocean with the warmth of genuine hospitality. Our goal is simple: to create moments that are effortless, personal, and crafted with care, always guided by our commitment to the well-being of our guests,” she added.
According to Explora, Hilton Honors Adventures is aimed at offering more options for Hilton Honors members, going beyond the loyalty benefits across 9,000 Hilton properties in 141 countries and territories.
“Explora Journeys defines the pinnacle of luxury ocean travel and unparalleled experiences,” said Chris Silcock, president of Global Brands and Commercial Services at Hilton.
“This exciting new partnership creates the perfect moment to launch Hilton Honors Adventures, introducing new ways for our members to experience iconic destinations and hidden gems around the world.”
