Caribbean carnival packages 2027: dates and prices for every carnival

Soca Islands runs small-group carnival trips to Trinidad, Jamaica, St Vincent, St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and St Kitts. Most of our carnival packages include fete tickets, hotel, airport transfers and a Soca Islands host, in groups of 6 to 16. Costumes are bought directly from the partner band, except on Carnival Lite, where the Monday Mas costume is included.
