Over the last decade, inVOYAGE has been curating event experiences to blend human connection with luxury and culture.

As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we reflect on ten special moments that have helped shape our journey and strengthen our global community through shared experiences.

Sintra 2014 – Building Bonds at a Historic Wine Cellar

Our inaugural inVOYAGE event took place at the iconic Ritz-Carlton Penha Longa in Sintra, just outside of Lisbon, Portugal. The venue, once a 14th-century monastery, provided an inspiring blend of historical charm and modern luxury. One of the highlights of this event was an exclusive visit to the Adega Regional de Colares wine cellars, one of the oldest in the region.

Here, surrounded by oak barrels and centuries-old winemaking traditions, our first gathering laid the foundation for the enduring connections that define inVOYAGE. As inaugural inVOYAGERS sipped local wines and shared stories, bonds were forged that continue to shape our community to this day.

Dubai 2016 – Gourmet Grilling under the Stars

Our first foray into the Middle East, it was time to bring inVOYAGE to the incredible Palazzo Versace for a dazzling programme of luxury, innovation, and world-class hospitality. An al fresco dining spectacle saw the hotel’s Executive Head Chef grilling lobster tails to perfection in their immaculately curated gardens.

Under Dubai’s starry skies, conversations flowed as easily as the fine wines, exemplifying our ethos of shared culinary delights and unforgettable experiences.

“My first inVOYAGE Experience was at the Palazzo Versace Hotel in Dubai...and the relationships I built there were priceless. Since my first inVOYAGE, the show has really grown consistently in strength throughout the years.” - Director of Global Sales UK, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts

Ras Al Khaimah 2018 – World’s Longest Zip-line Adventure

Marking our 5th anniversary, inVOYAGE headed to Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE to experience this burgeoning new destination, with activities including an introduction to sailing, dune bashing, kayaking in the mangroves and the world’s longest zipline. Not to mention the 1001 Desert Candles Dinner at Ritz Carlton Al Wadi and a beach party at The Cove Rotana”.

inVOYAGERS soared over the Jebel Jais mountains on the world’s longest zip-line. This thrilling experience captured the essence of inVOYAGE: embracing the extraordinary and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Monte Carlo 2019 – F1 Glory and Inspiration

The 2019 Grand Prix symbolised luxury, speed, and elegance. It made Monte Carlo a hotspot for business and leisure travellers alike, so it only seemed fitting to take our inVOYAGERS there too.

Our community gathered in this iconic setting, where we welcomed former F1 winner David Coulthard MBE. His powerful talk on resilience, thought leadership and high-pressure decision-making resonated deeply with our audience, offering invaluable insights into navigating a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry. David’s journey from racing legend to entrepreneur inspired inVOYAGERS and made for a truly great moment for all those lucky enough to be there.

Mykonos 2021 – Plate-Smashing Revelry

In 2021, our inVOYAGE community celebrated the return to live events on our first visit to the uber-chic white isle of Mykonos. Welcomed by our gracious hosts at the Royal Myconian, our inVOYAGERS formed a ‘community super-bubble’ to experience the very best of Mykonos and Greek traditions.

Perhaps a highlight of the event was an evening embracing the ancient custom of plate-smashing — a symbolic act of releasing past challenges and welcoming new beginnings, a fitting celebration in the wake of coming together after the global pandemic. As the night unfolded with dancing, feasting, and storytelling, lifelong memories were created, highlighting the magic of reconnecting after so much time apart.

Lucerne 2022 – Snow Adventures in the Titlis Mountains

Our Swiss debut celebrated the natural beauty of Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps, the adrenalin of Engelberg’s Mount Titlis and the culture of the region, which made it the perfect backdrop to form meaningful connections with some of the industry's finest leaders.

Adventure met elegance at inVOYAGE Lucerne. At the Titlis snowXpark, we experienced the ultimate thrill of the electric snowmobiles and toboggan slides on the slopes.

To wind down, our inVOYAGERS enjoyed a Titlis mountain dinner experience. Whilst soaking in the panoramic views of the Titlis mountain they enjoyed a drinks reception on the fire-pit terrace, followed by dinner and drinks in the warmth of the traditional Swiss Titlis Panorama Restaurant.

Doha 2022 – Pre-World Cup Stadium Spectacle

Just days away from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, inVOYAGE rather daringly headed to Doha at the height of the city’s football build-up to bring together some of the best international high-end incentive and event professionals.

We travelled to the futuristic Al Janoub Stadium, designed by the late Dame Zaha Hadid DBE RA, and one of the eight stadiums that played host to the 2022 FIFA World Cup games before heading to the newly opened 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, which is the world’s most sophisticated museum dedicated to sports, for a panel discussion featuring key senior figures from Qatar Tourism and the Supreme Committee.

Steven Reynolds, Senior Vice President, of Discover Qatar, said: “It [was] a wonderful opportunity for Discover Qatar along with our partners Qatar Airways and Qatar Tourism to showcase just how much variety Qatar has to offer, cementing its place as the perfect destination to host luxury and high-profile events.”

Cape Town 2023 – Food for the Soul

With South Africa having proved itself time and time again to be one of the top incentive travel destinations, it was long overdue to bring our inVOYAGERS to Cape Town to experience the mother city for themselves. With our event falling just a few weeks before Mandela Day, it was a poignant moment and one we wanted to really rally our community behind.

Partnering with Rise Against Hunger Africa, inVOYAGERS came together for a ‘fireside’ chat with Zelda La Grange, former private secretary to Nelson Mandela, before embarking on a charitable meal-packing initiative. Everyone participated in making 27,000 meals in 67 minutes, which fed just over 87 children a year, we also raised an incredible ZAR 41,748 throughout the event.

This event truly highlighted the importance of giving back, understanding culture and the difference we can make as a community.

Oman 2023 – insight with the Omani panel

Oman in 2023 provides the perfect blend of modern infrastructure and authentic Arabian culture, and this was best captured when we brought together an inspirational panel of Omani women from diverse backgrounds.

The conversation highlighted female-led initiatives driven by the Oman government’s Vision 2040 through to new tourism and community programmes being created and run by Omani women with inclusion, development and passion taking centre stage.

We explored curated incentives, policy alignment, and strategic projects aimed at enhancing Oman’s appeal as a world-class destination for the luxury incentive travel industry.

Girona 2024 – A Culinary Dream with the Roca Brothers

Earlier this year we welcomed 140 inVOYAGERS to the enchanting Catalan city of Girona. Known for its rich culinary heritage and stunning medieval architecture, Girona set the perfect stage for a unique gastronomic journey.

As part of our culinary immersion, inVOYAGERS were joined by globally renowned chefs, including the Roca Brothers, the Bulli Foundation, and the Peralada Group, for an educational experience like no other. Guests participated in an insightful panel discussion featuring these culinary legends, gaining exclusive insights into the art and science behind their world-class cuisine.

The evening concluded with a private dining experience at the Roca Brothers’ award-winning venue, Mas Marroch. There, our guests savoured exquisite dishes crafted by some of the best chefs in the region, creating a once-in-a-lifetime encounter that celebrated fine dining, and the bonds formed through shared culinary passion.

From the sun-soaked coasts of Mykonos to the snowy peaks of Lucerne, every moment of our journey for the past 10 years has always had the same purpose; to bring senior-level incentive travel and events professionals together with luxury hoteliers and destination specialists from around the globe to develop meaningful and lasting business relationships.
