inCruises announced a major expansion of its travel portfolio at its first-ever THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia, introducing two new categories: inTrips, curated multi-day land vacations, and River Cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises. The move marks the broadest offering since the company’s founding in 2016 and reshapes what an inCruises Membership delivers.
For members who have been accumulating Membership Reward Points, the expansion provides new ways to redeem them beyond ocean cruises. inTrips applies the same savings principles to land vacations, bundling accommodations, transfers, transportation, sightseeing, tours, excursions, attractions, and free time into a single itinerary. Travel experts design each trip after researching the destination and surrounding region, aiming to eliminate the hours of planning typically required.
“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 initial inTrips collection launches in 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 trips are expected to become available in late 2026, with additional destinations planned.
For members, inTrips unlocks two ways to reduce 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. “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,” Varvaro added.
The river cruise expansion introduces a different style of travel: smaller ships, intimate waterways, and immersive access to inland destinations and cultures that ocean cruising doesn’t reach. Through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises, members gain access to 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. From the villages and vineyards along the Rhine and Danube to the culture and scenery of destinations throughout Europe, river cruising allows travelers to discover and experience more,” 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 yet, spanning ocean cruises, river cruises, inStays hotels and resorts, inTours individual tours and activities, and inTrips curated land vacations. For travelers curious about what a 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: more choice, more experiences, and more value for members wherever their travels take them.
