inGroup International announced that its flagship brand, inCruises, received two 2026 Magellan Awards from Travel Weekly, the fifth consecutive year the company has earned multiple Magellan Awards for excellence in the travel industry. The company won Gold for its advertising campaign for THE Global Convention and Silver for its INsider Expert Series, recognizing two innovative advertising initiatives that demonstrate the creativity, collaboration, and global reach of inCruises.
“Receiving multiple Magellan Awards for five consecutive years is especially meaningful, as it reflects something we deeply value: consistency in our service, innovation, and the power of bringing people together,” said Michael “Hutch” Hutchison, Founder and CEO of inGroup International. “These recognitions belong to our extraordinary team, our industry partners, and the global community that inspires us to continue raising the bar. We are proud of what we have achieved together and even more excited for what is to come.”
THE Global Convention, held in Belgrade, Serbia, in September 2026, earned Gold recognition for the promotional campaign for the first global convention in inCruises’ history. The collective marketing effort brought together global communications, technology, and Field Partner teams to build anticipation and engagement for a historic event that welcomed attendees from 79 countries, demonstrating the extraordinary international reach of the inCruises community.
“THE Global Convention was an opportunity to bring our brand and global community to life in a bigger and bolder way,” commented Doug Corrigan, Chief Marketing Officer of inCruises. “From the initial announcement to the event itself, our messaging was designed to celebrate how far we have come, build anticipation for what is to come, and unite our global community around our shared mission and purpose.”
The INsider Expert Series earned Silver recognition in the Marketing category for its engaging showcase of travel with partner cruise lines and travel industry experts, offering the inCruises community first-hand information and travel inspiration.
“The INsider Expert Series gives our Members and Partners an inside look at extraordinary cruises and experiences, guided by the people who know them best,” expressed Beatriz Díaz Vázquez, Content Marketing and Communications Manager at inCruises. “This award recognizes the dedication of our teams, who bring each showcase to life, and of our valued partner cruise lines, who share their expertise and help us bring these experiences to our global community. It is a collaboration we are proud to be recognized for.”
