inCruises, a division of inGroup International and one of the world's largest subscription-based travel clubs, unveiled two new travel categories at its first-ever THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia. The company introduced inTrips, curated multi-day land vacations, and added River Cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises. These launches mark a significant expansion of what an inCruises membership delivers, offering travelers more ways to utilize their Membership Reward Points and access new experiences beyond ocean cruising.
The new inTrips product applies the same savings principles that have made inCruises popular for ocean travel to expertly planned land vacations. Travel experts design each inTrip by researching the destination and surrounding region, then assembling accommodations, transfers, transportation, sightseeing, tours, excursions, attractions, and free time into a single itinerary. The initial collection focuses on the United Arab Emirates, beginning with Dubai, historically inCruises' most popular destination. Offerings include 5- and 7-day vacations, a Dubai-only option, a Dubai + Abu Dhabi + Ras Al Khaimah option, Dubai Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing with Burj Khalifa admission, desert dinner safari experiences, and Abu Dhabi city tours on select 7-day itineraries. The initial inTrips are expected to become available in late 2026, with additional destinations and regions planned as the category expands.
For inCruises members, inTrips unlocks two compelling ways to reduce the cost of a complete vacation: INsider Pricing for 17% off the retail price of the complete inTrip, and Reward Points at significant ratios similar to eligible cruises, up to 50% of qualifying bookings, with opportunities for up to 100% through All Reward Points and qualifying Elite Travel Advantages. "We wanted Reward Points to feel useful year-round, not just when someone is booking a cruise. inTrips makes that possible by putting points to work toward a complete vacation experience," said Anthony Varvaro, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Finance Officer at inCruises.
In addition to land vacations, inCruises announced the introduction of River Cruises, offering access to a fundamentally different style of travel: smaller ships, intimate waterways, and immersive access to inland destinations and cultures that ocean cruising doesn't reach. The expansion will launch through partnerships with leading river cruise brands AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises, unlocking waterways and destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, including the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Rhône, Douro, Mekong, Nile, Chobe, and Magdalena. "River cruising opens a completely different relationship with a destination. Instead of simply arriving at a port, travelers can experience the heart of a region as they journey along its rivers, with opportunities to explore historic cities, smaller towns, and landscapes often inaccessible to larger ships," said Tatiana Wegzyn, Commercial Partnerships Manager at inCruises. "Partnering with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises means our Members can access these experiences through two brands that have spent decades refining the river cruise experience."
The two announcements bring the inCruises offering to its broadest point since the company's founding in 2016. With inCruises, members now have access to ocean cruises, river cruises, inStays (hotels and resorts), inTours (individual tours and activities), and inTrips (curated multi-day land-based vacations). For travelers who have been curious about what an inCruises membership delivers, the answer is now considerably broader than a cruise discount club. As the company continues to expand its portfolio and global reach, these launches signal a clear direction for the future: more choice, more experiences, and more value for members wherever their travels take them. The announcement, covered by NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE, highlights inCruises' commitment to enriching lives through travel and its ongoing efforts to provide compelling opportunities for its global partner community.
