ABOUT ULTIMATE POKER CHAMPION EVENTS

We believe poker was never meant to be confined to a felt table — it’s meant to be lived, celebrated, and shared.

Ultimate Poker Champion Events is transforming poker into a filmed, community-driven adventure sport — where everyday players become the stars of their own story. Just like reality shows...

We merge world-class poker with the energy of a reality competition, filmed on location aboard luxury cruise ships and exotic ports. It’s bold, cinematic, and open to everyone.

Because in our world, you don’t have to be famous to feel like a VIP — you just have to show up, play hard, and bring your personality.

What started as a dream to make poker fun again has grown into a global community built on friendship, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

After more than 50 poker cruises and decades in the industry, we saw a gap — poker was serious, exclusive, and predictable.

We wanted to bring back the joy and connection that made people fall in love with the game in the first place.

So we created Ultimate Poker Champion Events — a new era where poker meets storytelling.
Players aren’t just numbers in a tournament. They’re filmed, interviewed, celebrated, and remembered.

Every cruise becomes a 7-day festival of games, laughter, red carpet interviews, and filmed feature tables that make everyone feel like a star.
