Hilton Honors members can earn/redeem points with Explora in 2026

Explora Journeys and Hilton have announced an exclusive collaboration.

As part of the offer, Hilton will debut Hilton Honors Adventures, an extension of Hilton’s loyalty program focused on immersive, adventure-driven travel, with Explora as an exclusive luxury ocean travel partner.

By summer 2026, Hilton Honors members will be able to redeem their Points to set sail aboard Explora Journeys voyages from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe to the Caribbean and beyond.

Now through June 7, 2026, Hilton Honors members can participate in a limited-time preview offer.

While Hilton Honors Members can choose from all Explora Journeys’ global itineraries, a curated collection of 16 Journeys has been highlighted for the offer.

The selection introduces Hilton Honors Members to the extraordinary experience of ocean travel, with exclusive value savings applied to these Journeys.

“This partnership 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’. Together, we're offering Hilton Honors members a stay at sea that blends the freedom of the ocean with the warmth of genuine hospitality,” said Anna Nash, president of Explora Journeys in a press release.

“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.”

Chris Silcock, president, global brands and commercial services at Hilton, added: “Explora Journeys defines the pinnacle of luxury ocean travel and unparalleled experiences. 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.”
