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.”   

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.
