By next summer, members of Hilton's loyalty program will be able to earn points when booking Explora Journeys cruises and redeem their points on cruises. They will also have access to exclusive benefits aboard the ship.
The offering is part of a new segment of Hilton's loyalty program called Hilton Honors Adventures, enabling guests to use points on "adventure-driven travel experiences." Hilton Honors Adventures also includes a partnership with AutoCamp, an outdoor lodging company with luxury trailer suites, tents and cabins near national parks and outdoor recreation areas.
Explora is offering a menu of benefits for Hilton Honors members in advance of the program launch with Hilton, available through June 7. Those benefits include 100,000 Hilton Honors bonus points for booking a suite, an in-suite welcome gift and up to $400 in onboard credit on 16 itineraries and $200 in credit for other itineraries.
