Explora Journeys has announced a new partnership with Hilton Honors, giving the hotel loyalty members the opportunity to earn and redeem their hotel points on luxury ocean cruises. 

Hilton Honors loyalty members can now book Explora Journeys through Hilton to earn 10 base points for every U.S. dollar spent on the cruise fare. They can also redeem their earned points for travel, enjoy an exclusive 5% off all Explora Journeys cruises and earn bonus points and benefits based on their status tier, including a complimentary welcome cocktail party for Gold members and private port transfers for Diamond Reserve members.  

Explora Journeys offers enriching, destination-focused cruises from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and beyond. 

“Today’s guests seek enriching experiences, personal recognition and the freedom to explore the world in a way that is uniquely theirs,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “This next phase of our partnership with Hilton Honors reflects a shared commitment to exceptional hospitality and recognizing each guest as an individual. It offers Hilton Honors members an inspiring introduction to Explora Journeys and an opportunity to discover the Ocean State of Mind that shapes every Journey.”

Those who enjoy sailing on Explora Journeys but who are not Hilton Honors members can easily join the loyalty reward program for free and start earning points for their cruise bookings.
