inCruises unveiled two new travel categories at its first-ever THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia, this weekend, marking a significant expansion of its subscription-based travel club. The company introduced inTrips, curated multi-day land-based vacations, and added River Cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises. Together, these launches represent a meaningful expansion in what an inCruises Membership delivers, opening new ways for members to use accumulated Membership Reward Points.
inTrips applies the same savings principles that make inCruises work for ocean travel to expertly planned land vacations. Travel experts design each inTrip by researching the destination and surrounding region before 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 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. “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.
The introduction of River Cruises offers access to a fundamentally different style of travel: smaller ships, intimate waterways, and immersive access to inland destinations. Through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises, members can explore 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.
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 (hotels and resorts), inTours (individual tours and activities), and inTrips. The expansion signals a clear direction for the future: more choice, more experiences, and more value for Members. For travelers considering joining or those who have been accumulating Reward Points, the extension opens doors that didn’t previously exist. As inCruises continues to expand its portfolio and global reach, these launches could reshape how members plan and afford their vacations, potentially impacting the broader travel industry by offering a comprehensive alternative to traditional booking methods.
