Explora Journeys has expanded its partnership with Hilton Honors, introducing a loyalty scheme for its ocean cruises.
The move will allow Hilton Honors members to book Explora Journeys sailings through Hilton, earning 10 base points per US dollar spent and redeeming points against cruise fares.
Members will also receive a 5% discount on fares, alongside additional onboard benefits linked to status tiers. These include a welcome cocktail event for Gold members, while Diamond-tier members receive added onboard credit, with top-tier members offered further perks such as private transfers.
The benefits apply across Explora Journeys’ programme, including sailings on EXPLORA III, the line’s third ship, due to launch on 24 July.
Explora Journeys said the move is designed to offer more flexible and reward-led travel options, while attracting new-to-cruise luxury customers through the Hilton loyalty base.
Explora Journeys President Anna Nash said: “Today’s guests seek enriching experiences, personal recognition and the freedom to explore the world in a way that is uniquely theirs.
“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.”
