EPIC Carnival Cruise Partners with Carnival Glam Hub for Trinidad Carnival 2026

Trinidad and Tobago — Two leaders in the Carnival space are officially linking up. For the first time ever, Carnival Glam Hub will be on board EPIC Carnival Cruise, delivering makeup, hair, and photography services directly to masqueraders as they sail into Trinidad Carnival 2026.

EPIC Carnival Cruise, founded by Jonathan “Johnny” McFarlane, has changed the game for international Carnival lovers. With a Royal Caribbean cruise ship as your all-inclusive base, masqueraders board in Puerto Rico and spend five epic days enjoying premium fetes, nonstop vibes, endless food and drinks, and zero stress about accommodation. The ship docks just in time for Carnival Monday and Tuesday.

And now, EPIC guests can add a luxury glam experience to their onboard itinerary.

Carnival Glam Hub, the award-winning beauty concierge trusted by more than 13,000 masqueraders across the Caribbean and North America, will offer three core services on the ship: makeup, hair, and photography. Appointments run from 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Carnival Monday and Tuesday, with photo sessions taking place dockside on the pier with the scenic Trinidad Harbour in the background.

“This was a natural evolution,” says Kibwe McGann, co-founder of Glam Hub. “In past years, EPIC guests who booked Glam Hub would leave the ship to come to us at Hilton. But once we saw how well the two experiences align, it just made sense to bring the glam directly to them. Walk downstairs, get your makeup done, and be ready for the road—no extra stress.”

Everything Carnival Glam Hub is known for will be available onboard. From professional makeup and hair to personalized appointments and dressing assistance, guests will enjoy the same trusted service, without leaving the ship.

“This is a major upgrade,” says Johnny McFarlane, founder of EPIC. “Our mission is to create a Carnival experience that feels premium, effortless, and unforgettable. Glam Hub has set the standard for glam, and now our passengers can enjoy that without the extra logistics.”

Only EPIC passengers will have access to the onboard Glam Hub location.

But Glam Hub will still be serving masqueraders across Trinidad. For Carnival 2026, Glam Hub will operate out of three official locations:

• Hilton Trinidad

• BRIXX Hotel, Port of Spain

• EPIC Cruise Ship (EPIC passengers only)

All sites will operate on February 16 and 17, delivering trusted Glam Hub services including makeup, hair, photography, dressing support, and refreshments.
