inCruises Adds River Cruises With AmaWaterways, Emerald Cruises
Planned inTrips experiences include desert dinner safaris, hop-on sightseeing with Burj Khalifa admission and, on selected seven-day trips, Abu Dhabi city tours.
inCruises has added river cruises through partnerships with AmaWaterways and Emerald Cruises and introduced inTrips, a multi-day land-vacation program beginning in Dubai. The subscription-based travel club detailed the expansion on September 21, 2026, following its unveiling at the company’s first THE Global Convention in Belgrade, Serbia.
The additions join the inGroup International division’s existing ocean cruise inventory, inStays hotel and resort bookings, and inTours individual tours and activities.
River program spans four continents
The announced river program covers Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. European waterways include the Douro, Rhône, Seine, Rhine and Danube, while the wider offering includes the Mekong, Nile, Chobe and Colombia’s Magdalena.
“River cruising opens a completely different relationship with a destination,” said Tatiana Wegzyn, commercial partnerships manager at inCruises.
Wegzyn said the sailings would give members opportunities to explore inland cities, smaller communities and landscapes that larger vessels often cannot reach.
Dubai opens the land program
The first inTrips collection will offer five- and seven-day vacations, with a Dubai-only itinerary and another combining Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. inCruises describes Dubai as historically its most popular destination.
Planned experiences include desert dinner safaris and hop-on, hop-off sightseeing in Dubai with admission to the Burj Khalifa. Selected seven-day itineraries will also feature Abu Dhabi city tours.
Travel experts will assemble the packages, combining lodging and transport arrangements with sightseeing, excursions, attractions and free time.
Reward Points beyond the cruise
“We wanted Reward Points to feel useful year-round, not just when someone is booking a cruise,” said Anthony Varvaro, chief operations officer and chief finance officer at inCruises.
The company outlined two savings mechanisms for inTrips: INsider Pricing, advertised at 17% below the complete package’s retail price, and Reward Points redemptions. Points can cover up to 50% of qualifying bookings, with redemption opportunities reaching 100% through All Reward Points and qualifying Elite Travel Advantages. Members will be able to put points toward the bundled vacation, including accommodation, transfers, other transportation and included activities.
The launch announcement did not include starting package prices. Further destinations and regions are planned beyond the initial UAE collection, with the first inTrips expected to become available in late 2026.
