MISHAWAKA, Ind. — International Motorcoach Group has added Royal Excursion to its network of independently owned motorcoach operators, expanding its membership to 56 companies across North America.
Royal Excursion, headquartered in Mishawaka near South Bend, also operates facilities in Fort Wayne and Valparaiso, Indiana. Owned by Shannon Kaser, the company provides charter motorcoach transportation throughout Indiana and the surrounding region and maintains an in-house maintenance operation.
“Joining IMG represents an exciting new chapter for Royal Excursion,” Kaser said. “We are proud to become part of a network whose members share our commitment to safety, quality, and exceptional service. We look forward to collaborating with fellow IMG operators, sharing best practices, and contributing to the continued strength and success of the organization.”
IMG President Phelps Hope says Royal Excursion strengthens the organization’s presence in the Midwest.
“Royal Excursion represents exactly the type of operator we seek to welcome into IMG,” Hope said. “Shannon and his team have built a highly respected company with a clear commitment to operational excellence and the customer experience.”
According to IMG, its 56 member companies collectively operate about 7,000 motorcoaches and transport more than 21 million passengers annually. The organization says members are vetted for safety, service, maintenance and operational standards before joining the network.
