If you’re thinking of doing Trinidad Carnival 2026, but find yourself feeling overwhelmed by all the moving parts (event tickets, transportation, accommodation, spending money?), then let me put you on to the Epic Carnival Cruise. As a seasoned carnival goer (I’m not new to this, I’m true to this), I have experienced Epic for myself twice now, and trust me when I say it is hands down the best way to enjoy Trinidad Carnival 2026.
There’s no stressing about finding the right place to stay, sourcing a rental car, or fighting to get tickets to the best events. You get to float on a luxury cruise ship that already has everything you need for the ultimate Carnival trip. Let’s get into it.
Luxury Accommodation in Port of Spain with Epic Cruise
One of the biggest headaches for Trinidad Carnival is finding ideal accommodation. Prices skyrocket for central locations, hotels are sold out quickly and Airbnbs can be hit or miss with their aesthetic, condition, or far out locations. With Epic, your room is secured the moment you book. You’ll be on a cruise ship docked right in Port of Spain, central to all the action. You’re guaranteed a room in great condition that includes a daily cleaning service.
What’s even better, is that Epic offers transportation add-ons to most of their included events, but if you prefer to travel on your own, your transportation can pick you up right outside the gates of the Cruise Port, or you can make use of the many port taxis that are on standy-by to assist guests 24/7. A word of warning though, the port taxi rates can be a tad pricey, but it’s still good to have them as an option as that added cost comes with the security of knowing you’re with a trusted/credible driver.
All-Inclusive Food and Drinks on your Carnival Cruise
Carnival days are long and hard and our bodies need fuel to get through them. With Epic, your food and premium drinks are unlimited. That means you can grab breakfast before heading out to a fete, get lunch before heading back out to the second fete, and dinner (or a late night snack) after you’ve returned from your last party for the night. Imagine being stale drunk and having to drag yourself out of bed to make your own breakfast? Unacceptable.
It’s not just about saving money (though you definitely will), it’s about knowing that no matter the time of day, good food and top-shelf drinks are waiting for you.
And the food options are not just average dining. Outside of your main dining area, there’s a sushi restaurant, fine dining, a steak house, and a cafe. Important to note, only the main dining areas and park cafe are included in your cost. The additional restaurants will be charged to your account to be cashed out at the end of your trip.
Access to All the Amenities of a Cruise Vacation
This isn’t just a floating hotel, it’s the full cruise experience. You’ll have access to a spa, pool deck, casino, gym, shopping, room service and all other cruise amenities.
Carnival is high energy, so having those extra spaces to unwind is priceless. Want a massage between fetes? Done. Want to chill on deck with a drink and watch the sunset? Easy. Epic lets you balance the madness of Carnival with moments of luxury downtime.
Carnival Cruise Parties and Events Included
Now here’s the best part, the Epic Cruise has its own built-in Carnival. Think themed parties, live performances, and DJs on deck. You get access to the traditional Trinidad Carnival fetes PLUS Epic’s exclusive lineup, all included in your package.
The vibes are nonstop. From day parties on the pool deck to midnight jams, you’ll always have a party within reach. And because it’s all happening on board, you can dance ‘til your feet give out, then walk straight to your cabin.
Last year’s featured artistes included the likes of Destra, Konshens, Mr. Vegas, Charly Black, and Father Philis, just to name a few. Even though this year’s artistes are yet to be announced, you can expect an action packed line up of the region’s best Soca and Dancehall/Reggae artistes.
And it’s not all feteing either. With fitness sessions hosted by Spinny, Luna and Baja Yogi, casino nights, and comedy shows on board, featuring Jr. Lee and Majah Hype, Epic is truly an all-round experience.
The Freedom to Enjoy Carnival Your Way
The best part? You’re in control. Maybe you want to hit all the big-name fetes off the ship. Maybe you just want to stay on board and party your way. With Epic, you can mix and match.
I’ve seen entire families on board, with the kids and older family members enjoying the cruise amenities while the feters do their thing.
Your whole crew playing mas but you can’t join them? Spend carnival Monday and Tuesday by the pool with a cocktail.
It’s the best way to have a fully customizable Carnival experience. Go hard when you want, rest when you need, and always know your bed, meals, and vibes are waiting when you get back.
