Epix Cruise and Travel Pivots Back to Leisure Group Voyages

With global ocean cruise passenger volume hitting a record 37.2 million in 2025, San Diego-based Epix Cruise and Travel is diversifying its portfolio. The firm is transitioning from an exclusive focus on corporate retreats back to its original roots in leisure travel, catering to family reunions, hobby clubs, and wellness groups.

Founded in 2009, the agency initially built its reputation on organizing social and family vacations before shifting toward business-oriented incentive trips and leadership retreats. Founder Aubrey Williams noted that while the corporate sector remains a core pillar, the company is now actively soliciting leisure groups to capitalize on the cruise industry's current expansion.

This strategic move aligns with a broader market trend of increased cruise line investment in private islands and specialized onboard experiences. As cruise lines introduce more diverse itineraries and ship designs, the firm aims to leverage its logistics expertise to assist non-corporate clients in navigating complex booking options, group rates, and stateroom configurations. For the agency, this dual-track approach seeks to balance the high-stakes requirements of professional offsites with the personal touch required for social reunions and affinity groups.
