Royal Caribbean will be one of the leading players at IPW 2026, the premier international B2B marketplace for inbound travel to the United States, taking place from May 17–21, 2026, in Greater Fort Lauderdale.

As part of one of the most influential gatherings in the global travel and tourism industry, Royal Caribbean Group will host the special event “The Future of Cruising Luncheon” on Thursday, May 21 — an exclusive networking and inspiration experience reserved for accredited buyers and media representatives.

The luncheon will take place in the Atlantic Ballroom, located in the East Building, bringing together international tourism industry professionals to exchange ideas, strengthen business relationships, and gain firsthand insight into the strategic vision of the world’s leading cruise company.

During the experience, Royal Caribbean Group will showcase how it continues to drive innovation in the cruise industry through revolutionary ships, extraordinary destinations, and unique onboard experiences, while further strengthening key relationships within the global travel community.

Royal Caribbean Group’s participation in IPW 2026 reinforces the growing importance of the cruise segment within international tourism and highlights Florida’s position as one of the world’s leading hubs for the maritime and vacation industry.

IPW, organized by the U.S. Travel Association, is considered the largest inbound travel trade show in the United States and one of the most important worldwide. The 2026 edition in Greater Fort Lauderdale is expected to bring together approximately 5,200 delegates from 70 countries, more than 1,000 exhibitors, and nearly 100,000 pre-scheduled business meetings.

According to industry estimates, the business connections generated during IPW have the potential to drive billions of dollars in future travel and tourism business to the United States over the coming years.

Royal Caribbean Group’s presence within this strategic environment marks one of the standout moments of the IPW 2026 program, particularly for the cruise and luxury travel sectors, which continue to experience strong global growth.
