Luxury cruising has never felt more personal, more indulgent—or more rewarding. With the launch of the Explora Journeys loyalty program, the ultra-luxury cruise line is charting a new course for how loyalty and lifestyle intersect at sea.
Whether you’re exploring the fjords of Norway, basking on a Greek island, or sailing past the ice fields of Patagonia, Explora Journeys is curating an experience beyond the traditional cruise—designed for modern explorers who value both authenticity and elegance. And now, they’re rewarding that mindset in tiers.
Let’s take a closer look at how Explora Journeys’ five-tier loyalty program works—and why it’s making waves in the world of high-end travel.
What Is the Explora Journeys Loyalty Program?
The Explora Society, as it’s officially known, is more than a points system—it’s a philosophy. Designed to reward returning guests, it blends exclusive access, elevated onboard privileges, and luxurious personalization as you ascend through five distinctive tiers: Classic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
Each level unlocks a deeper connection to the Explora brand and community. It’s as much about who you are as where you’re going.
The Five Tiers: Perks at Every Port
Classic Tier – Where the Journey Begins
All new travelers are automatically enrolled in the Classic tier after their first voyage. Benefits include:
Welcome amenities onboard
Priority access to new itineraries
Exclusive member offers
Even at the entry level, Classic guests are treated like insiders.
Silver Tier – Loyalty Takes Root
After completing two journeys or accumulating a set number of nights at sea, guests move into Silver status. Additional perks include:
A private welcome cocktail with senior officers
Complimentary laundry service
Room upgrade priority
Imagine cruising the Dalmatian Coast, with a suite upgrade waiting for you, because you’re now a recognized guest of distinction.
Gold Tier – Elevated Indulgence
Gold status is where things start to feel distinctly bespoke. Members receive:
A complimentary spa treatment per journey
Early shore experience reservations
In-suite welcome bottle of vintage Champagne
From the Amalfi Coast to the beaches of St. Barths, Gold-tier guests float effortlessly between luxury and exploration.
Platinum Tier – Peak Privileges
Reserved for serious sea-goers, Platinum status reflects a significant commitment to the Explora lifestyle. Benefits extend to:
Priority embarkation and disembarkation
Dedicated pre-journey concierge service
Complimentary in-suite minibar replenishment
Whether you’re sailing to the Galápagos Islands or savoring a sunset off Ibiza, Platinum guests glide through each port with ease and privilege.
Diamond Tier – The Pinnacle of Personalization
Diamond is Explora Journeys’ most elite tier—and rightly so. It’s for those who’ve truly embraced this refined way of travel. Diamond members receive:
A personalized onboard experience curator
Invitations to private destination events
Unlimited complimentary laundry and pressing
Priority access to ship-hosted Michelin-starred chef collaborations
This isn’t just luxury—it’s intimacy, curated with world-class flair. Think private wine tastings in Tuscany, or chef-led markets tours in Istanbul.
Why the Explora Journeys Loyalty Program Stands Out
Many loyalty programs reward frequency. Explora rewards intention. It’s not just how often you cruise, but how deeply you engage with the brand. The program is designed around lifestyle—not logistics.
There’s also no catch: No points to track, no blackout dates, and no surprise fees. Just seamless recognition of your evolving relationship with Explora Journeys.
Destination Discovery, Elevated
Part of the appeal lies in the where. The loyalty program enhances not only the onboard experience, but also the shoreside moments:
In South America, Platinum and Diamond guests might enjoy private, small-group archaeological tours in Peru.
In Scandinavia, early access to rare excursions—like fjord kayaking in Norway—awaits Gold and above.
In Japan, Diamond guests may receive invitations to intimate tea ceremonies with local artisans.

Exclusive Member Events & Onboard Surprises
Explora’s loyalty structure fosters a sense of community. Onboard events—like member-only cocktail evenings, chef’s table previews, and invitation-only tastings—add unexpected delight.
There’s also a surprise-and-delight element woven through each journey. You never know when a Diamond-tier guest might be whisked into a helicopter for a last-minute glacier landing in Alaska, or offered a complimentary excursion in Cape Town.
