Mixing Business with Pleasure
At Epix Cruise and Travel, we help companies transform ordinary corporate events into unforgettable experiences at sea. Whether you’re planning a company‑wide retreat, a high‑impact leadership meeting, or an incentive trip that actually motivates performance, we design cruise‑based programs that deliver exceptional value, predictable budgeting, and effortless execution.
Your team deserves more than another hotel ballroom. Your company deserves a partner who understands the operational, financial, and cultural realities of planning cruises for businesses and associations. That’s where we come in. We'll help you book the perfect cruise for a variety of meetings and events at sea.
A Better Way to Bring Teams Together
Cruise‑based corporate events offer a unique blend of productivity, engagement, and cost efficiency. With meeting spaces, entertainment, dining, and accommodations all in one place, your team stays connected, focused, and energized.
Epix Cruise and Travel guides you through itinerary design, meeting coordination, and onboard experiences, while providing end‑to‑end support. You get a streamlined planning process and a memorable event your employees will talk about long after they return.
Cruises Designed for Non-Boring Companies
Real Value
We help you maximize your budget while elevating the employee experience. Cruise‑based events often cost significantly less than comparable land‑based retreats because sleeping accommodations, meals, snacks, and entertainment are included. In some cases, onboard meeting facilities and basic meeting equipment are also included.
MICE Travel with a Cruise Focus
Epix Cruise and Travel specializes exclusively in MICE travel at sea, planning and booking corporate retreats, incentive programs, and meetings exclusively on world‑class cruise ships. MICE simply refers to “meeting, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (or events)”. Traditional corporate travel agencies don’t have the interest or expertise to plan and book group cruises for companies and associations. Epix will handle your group’s experience, delivering seamless planning, elevated service, and unforgettable events tailored to companies, associations, and organizations of all types. See our Services page to understand the services we provide.

Teams simply walk in ready to work, with a fully prepared environment that supports seamless, productive sessions.

Cocktail parties, meet‑and‑greets, award ceremonies, networking hours, and team celebrations. Whatever your vision looks like, we’ll help you bring it to life on your corporate cruise. From selecting the right venue to coordinating timing, décor, and onboard support, we make it easy to host memorable events that strengthen relationships and elevate your team’s overall experience at sea.

Employees feel valued and motivated, while leadership gains a powerful platform to recognize their success.
Sales kickoff (SKO)
A sales kickoff sets the tone for the year by aligning teams around strategy, messaging, and momentum. Hosting your SKO at sea creates an energizing environment where people tend to open up and contribute more than usual. With dedicated meeting spaces, team‑building opportunities, and seamless logistics, your sales organization leaves motivated, connected, and ready to execute.
Quarterly business reviews
Quarterly business reviews benefit from a setting that encourages clarity, focus, and productive discussion. A cruise environment provides comfortable meeting venues, reliable structure, and a refreshing change of scenery that supports strategic thinking. Teams can look back on past performance, refine priorities, and strengthen alignment while enjoying a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere.
Management strategy sessions
Management strategy sessions thrive in an environment that supports deep thinking and uninterrupted collaboration. A cruise offers dedicated spaces, quiet lounges, and natural separation from daily demands, allowing leaders to focus fully on long‑term planning. The setting encourages creativity, alignment, and meaningful dialogue that drives stronger strategic outcomes.
Planning sessions
Planning sessions require privacy, structure, and a setting that encourages open conversation. Cruises provide comfortable meeting rooms, flexible breakout spaces, and a calm atmosphere that helps teams loom into the future. With logistics handled seamlessly, participants can focus entirely on shaping priorities, refining initiatives, and building actionable plans for the months ahead.
Remote team unification
Remote team unification events help distributed employees build trust, strengthen relationships, and reconnect beyond screens. A cruise offers shared experiences, relaxed social settings, and structured collaboration opportunities that bring people together naturally. Teams return with stronger relationships, deeper rapport, and a renewed sense of cohesion that improves long‑term performance.
Team‑building off‑sites
Team‑building activities are most effective in a neutral environment that encourages connection and shared experiences. Cruises offer built‑in activities, flexible venues, and a refreshing change of pace that helps teams bond authentically. Whether through workshops, group challenges, or casual downtime, participants leave more aligned, engaged, and ready to collaborate.
Training workshops
Training workshops benefit from a focused, distraction‑free setting where participants can fully engage with new skills and concepts. A cruise provides comfortable learning spaces, reliable structure, and an energizing atmosphere that keeps attendees motivated. The combination of professional development and memorable experiences enhances retention and overall impact.
Partner and channel partner appreciation
Partner appreciation events strengthen relationships by offering a premium, memorable experience that communicates inclusion and gratitude. Cruises provide exceptional dining, entertainment, and destinations that project your appreciation loud and clear. They also increase mind-share, deepen loyalty, and create shared moments that support long‑term partnerships.
