inCruises announced two new travel categories at its first-ever THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia, marking a significant expansion of its subscription-based travel club. The company introduced inTrips, curated multi-day land vacations launching first in Dubai, and added River Cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises. For members who have been accumulating Membership Reward Points, the move opens new ways to use those points beyond ocean cruising.
inTrips are designed to apply the same savings principles that make inCruises work for ocean travel to expertly planned land vacations. Travel experts research each destination and surrounding region before assembling accommodations, transfers, transportation, sightseeing, tours, excursions, attractions, and free time into a single itinerary. “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 collection includes 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 first inTrips are expected to become available in late 2026, with additional destinations planned.
For members, inTrips unlocks two ways to reduce the cost of a complete vacation: INsider Pricing for 17% off the retail price, 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 offers a different style of travel: smaller ships, intimate waterways, and immersive access to inland destinations. The launch through AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises unlocks 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.”
These 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 vacations. The expansion signals a clear direction for the future: more choice, more experiences, and more value for members wherever their travels take them. As the company continues to grow its portfolio, these launches position inCruises as more than a cruise discount club, offering a comprehensive travel membership that adapts to diverse traveler preferences.
