Hilton Debuts Hilton Honors Adventures with New Explora Journeys Partnership

Hilton has just launched Hilton Honors Adventures, an expansion of its Hilton Honors loyalty program that will offer deals on travel experiences – starting with a partnership with Explora Journeys. 

By summer 2026, Hilton Honors members will be able to use their hotel points to book sailings with Explora Journeys, MSC Group’s new luxury ocean cruise brand. Itineraries range from the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to The Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula, Alaska, Canada, and more. Explora Journeys will also sail in Japan starting in 2027 and launch a world cruise in 2029. 

“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.”   

Anna Nash, president of Explora Journeys, added that the collaboration “unites two brands committed to thoughtful travel, meaningful connection, and deep discovery.”

“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,’” she said. “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.”

Though the program has not yet begun, Hilton and Explora Journeys are celebrating the announcement with a limited-time offer. Now through June 7, 2026, Hilton Honors members can earn 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points per suite and up to $400 in Journey Experience Credits, plus an exclusive in-suite welcome gift, when they book one of 16 curated Hilton x Explora Journeys sailings. 

The Explora Journeys partnership is only part of the Hilton Honors Adventures program, which is also collaborating with AutoCamp, an outdoor hospitality provider. Hilton plans to add more partnerships to the program in the future.
