Hilton and Explora Journeys have launched a partnership, with Hilton introducing Hilton Honors Adventures, an extension of its loyalty programme focused on adventure-driven travel. Explora Journeys will serve as the programme’s luxury ocean travel partner.
From summer 2026, Hilton Honors members will be able to use points to book sailings across global destinations, from the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to the Caribbean, Alaska, Asia and the Red Sea. As part of the launch, a limited-time preview offer is available to Hilton Honors members through June 7, 2026.
Members can book Journeys with exclusive benefits, including 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points rewarded per suite, and up to 400 euros (US$434) Journey Experience Credits on 16 curated Hilton x Explora Journeys itineraries, and 200 euros (US$217) credit on all other Explora Journeys voyages. These credits can be redeemed for onboard experiences, including fine dining, wine tastings, Destination Experiences, spa treatments, curated shopping, and suite upgrades.
Explora Journeys’ sailings prioritise extended time in each destination, combining relaxation with cultural and immersive experiences. The itineraries cover a broad range of locations, including the Mediterranean’s historic ports, Northern Europe’s fjords, Caribbean islands and the Panama Canal, Alaska and Canada’s wilderness, and immersive Japan sailings from 2027.
The partnership integrates Hilton’s loyalty benefits with ocean travel, providing new ways for members to experience destinations with flexibility, personalisation and service standards Hilton is known for.
Chris Silcock, president, global brands and commercial services, Hilton, said: “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.”
Anna Nash, president, Explora Journeys, added: “This partnership unites two brands committed to thoughtful travel, meaningful connection, and deep discovery. 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.”
