Crop Over - Barbados Carnival Festival 2026

Carnival Group Trip July 29th - August 5th, 2026

Barbados Crop Over Carnival is a lively and vibrant celebration of Barbados’s rich Caribbean culture and heritage that celebrates the end of the sugar cane harvest, featuring music, dance, and colorful parades. The present-day Crop Over Festival is a uniquely Barbadian festival that emerged out of the tensions in the meeting and merging of the island’s British and West African heritage.

ROOM OCCUPANCY PACKAGE OPTIONS

Double Occupancy Package

This is the price for 1 traveler. Double occupancy means that you will be paired with a roommate of the same gender via our roommate matching form. If you wish to request a certain roommate or to have 1 large bed in your room rather than 2 separate beds, please e-mail and/or add that in the notes about roommate matching at booking. For custom payment plans or Affirm payment options please e-mail travel@eliteeventz.com

Single Occupancy

By choosing a single occupancy room, you are paying the supplement for 1 traveler in the room as opposed to 2 travelers in the standard room. Having a single occupancy room allows you to have the room, larger bed and ensuite restroom privately for yourself. Single occupancy rooms will be based on availability. For custom payment plans or Affirm payment options please e-mail travel@eliteeventz.com

CANCELLATIONS & LATE FEES

To secure the best vendors, lodging, and experiences, we plan and pay for all trips months in advance. For this reason, all cancellations will not be refunded 72 hours or more past booking. It is STRONGLY encouraged to purchase travel liability, cancel for any reason and medical insurance for all ECT group trips. If you need assistance or a quote provided to you, please let your host know via email at any time up to 2 weeks prior to your trip. It’s advised to purchase the insurance within 1-2 weeks after paying your deposit and prior to purchasing your flight or making any additional payments.

If you are 3 days late for a payment plan installation, you will be charged an additional $100. That allows you a 7-day extension to complete your payment.

We understand life happens and are very flexible to make a custom payment plan with you. Just e-mail us at travel@eliteeventz.com to chat! However, if we do not hear from you in 48 hours your reservation will be canceled.
