Hilton Honors Adds Explora Journeys Benefits.
Through a partnership with Explora Journeys, Hilton has expanded its Hilton Honours reward program, giving members access to a variety of special onboard advantages while earning and redeeming points on opulent ocean cruises.
For every US dollar spent on cruise rates, Hilton Honours members can now book Explora Journeys sailings through Hilton and receive 10 basic Hilton Honours Points. Additionally, members can earn a five percent discount on all Explora Journeys flights booked through the alliance and use Hilton Honours Points toward qualified excursions.
Through the partnership, Hilton Honours members can utilise their loyalty benefits on a variety of luxury cruise itineraries that cover the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland, the East Coast of North America, the Caribbean, and Central America. Cruise reservations that meet the requirements will also count toward Hilton Honours elite status.
Depending on their Hilton Honours tier, members will get further benefits. Diamond members will receive extra Journey Experience Credits, and Gold members will be welcomed to an exclusive welcome cocktail celebration with Explora Journeys’ ship leadership. Benefits for Diamond Reserve members include private port transportation and, if available, a behind-the-scenes bridge tour.
Mark Weinstein, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Luxury Brands stated, “At Hilton, we believe The Stay defines the journey. The primary goal of our collaboration with Explora Journeys is to provide Hilton Honours members with additional avenues for dreaming and staying, as well as the opportunity to earn and redeem Hilton Honours Points and gain exclusive benefits and access. For this reason, we’ve teamed up with Explora Journeys, a company that shares Hilton’s commitment to design-led experiences, user-friendly service, and individualised hospitality. Additionally, it is an invitation to both parties. We are forward to welcome Explora’s visitors to all 28 of our category-leading Hilton hotels and resorts worldwide, including Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, NoMad, and LXR. There is a Hilton Stay wherever your travels take you.”
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys stated, “Today’s guests seek enriching experiences, personal recognition, and the freedom to explore the world in a way that is uniquely theirs. This next stage of our collaboration with Hilton Honours demonstrates our mutual dedication to providing outstanding hospitality and treating every visitor as an individual. It gives Hilton Honours members a chance to learn about the Ocean State of Mind that influences each Journey and an inspirational introduction to Explora Journeys.”
Additionally, this month marks the launch of EXPLORA III, the newest vessel in the Explora Journeys fleet.
