inCruises was recognized at the 2026 Travel Weekly Magellan Awards for the fifth consecutive year. This year’s awards included a Gold award for its THE Global Convention and a Silver award for its INsider Expert Series.
“Receiving multiple Magellan Awards for five consecutive years is especially meaningful because it reflects something we value deeply: consistency in how we serve, innovate and bring people together,” said Michael “Hutch” Hutchison, inGroup International Founder and CEO. “These honors belong to our extraordinary team, our travel industry partners and the global community that inspires us to keep raising the bar. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together and even more excited about what lies ahead.”
Held in Begrade, Serbia, THE Global Convention was the company’s first-ever worldwide convention, and the Gold award honored the company’s integrated marketing efforts that included global communications, technology and field Partner team engagement. The result was an international reach that gathered attendees from more than 79 countries.
“THE Global Convention was an opportunity to bring our brand and global community to life in a bigger, bolder way,” said Doug Corrigan, inCruises Chief Marketing Officer. “From the initial announcement through the event itself, our messaging was designed to celebrate how far we’ve come, build anticipation for what lies ahead and unite our global community around a shared sense of mission and purpose.”
The INsider Expert Series featured travel showcases to bring travel inspiration and insights to the Partner community.
“The INsider Expert Series gives our Members and Partners an inside look at extraordinary cruise ships and experiences, guided by the people who know them best,” said Beatriz Díaz Vázquez, inCruises Content Marketing & Communications Manager. “This award recognizes the dedication of our teams who bring each showcase to life and our valued cruise line partners who share their expertise and help us bring these experiences to our global community. It’s a collaboration we’re proud to see recognized.”
