Explora Journeys and Hilton are teaming up to offer a new program for travelers.

Hilton is launching Hilton Honors Adventures, an extension of its guest loyalty program—and Explora Journeys is the exclusive luxury ocean travel partner.

“This partnership unites two brands committed to thoughtful travel, meaningful connection and deep discovery,” says Anna Nash, president of Explora Journeys. “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 wellbeing of our guests.”

Hilton Honors Adventures elevates the brand’s loyalty benefits across land and at sea, offering new ways to earn and redeem points. Starting next summer, Hilton Honors members will be able to book, earn and redeem their points on Explora Journeys’ voyages. They’ll also be able to enjoy exclusive savings on a curated collection of 16 Hilton x Explora Journeys itineraries.

From now through June 7, 2026, Hilton Honors members can participate in a limited-time preview offer that includes 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points per suite; up to $400 in onboard credits on the 16 curated itineraries and $200 credit on all other Explora Journeys voyages; and an exclusive in-suite welcome gift.

“Explora Journeys defines the pinnacle of luxury ocean travel and unparalleled experiences,” says 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.”
