inCruises announced two new travel categories at its first-ever THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia, this weekend, unveiling inTrips, a curated land vacation product, and River Cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises. The expansion marks a significant broadening of the company's subscription-based travel club, which until now focused primarily on ocean cruises.
inTrips are multi-day land-based vacations designed to apply the same savings principles that make inCruises work for ocean travel. Travel experts research each destination and assemble accommodations, transfers, transportation, sightseeing, tours, excursions, attractions, and free time into a single itinerary. The initial collection launches in the United Arab Emirates, beginning with Dubai, historically inCruises' most popular destination. Options 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 planned.
For inCruises Members, inTrips unlocks two ways to reduce vacation costs: 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. "inTrips was built around the simple belief that a great vacation shouldn't require multiple spreadsheets, three weeks of research, and a year's worth of savings. We've done the heavy lifting so our Members can simply show up and experience the destination," said Anthony Varvaro, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Finance Officer at inCruises.
The company also introduced River Cruises, offering access to smaller ships, intimate waterways, and immersive access to inland destinations. The expansion launches through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises, unlocking waterways 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. Members now have access to ocean cruises, river cruises, inStays for hotels and resorts, inTours for individual tours and activities, and inTrips for curated multi-day land-based vacations. 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.
