Explora Journeys marked the first anniversary of its Explora Club by expanding a partnership that allows Hilton Honors members to earn and redeem points on select sailings, linking two hospitality brands. Hilton Honors members who book Explora Journeys voyages through Hilton earn 10 base points per U.S. dollar on cruise fares and receive a 5 percent discount.Benefits scale with elite status, from a welcome cocktail for Gold and above to Journey Experience Credits for Diamond members and private port transfers for Diamond Reserve. Explora Club emphasizes recognition over points, while eligible hotel stays count toward Hilton Honors elite status. Points earned on cruises can support future hotel stays and vice versa, and Explora plans a December President’s Cruise to gather member feedback.
