Getting started
SpringBreak U is a team of people who eat, sleep and breathe spring break. We plan your whole spring break trip and are there to help you from start to finish. You get a real trip rep to text with from day one, our team on-site with your group all week, and a company that's actually there with you, not just a confirmation email.
Yes — we're a USTOA active member, ASTA verified agency, and BBB accredited business, with thousands of students booked every year and real reps on-site at every destination.
Expedia sells you a room and disappears. We build your whole week — flights, lodging, parties, and a rep on the ground — and stay reachable the entire time, not just until checkout.
Choosing your destination
Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Cancun and Cabo San Lucas (Mexico), Nassau (Bahamas), and Fort Lauderdale, Florida if you want a no-passport option closer to home.
Punta Cana — it's been our most booked destination for four years running, thanks to all-inclusive resorts and the biggest SBU crowd of the week.
Fort Lauderdale, with packages starting at $379 — no flight or passport needed, which keeps the cost down.
Fort Lauderdale is the only one — it's a domestic trip, no flight or passport required. Cancun, Punta Cana, Cabo, and Nassau all require a valid passport.
Cost and booking
It depends on your destination, resort, trip length, and how many people are sharing a room (more people per room means a lower price per person). Expect to spend between $800 and $1500+. Send us your details and we'll put together a real quote for your group
Pick your destination and package, submit your info on the review page, and lock in your spot with a deposit. We'll text you to confirm the details and get your group added.
As early as you can — popular destinations and the best room blocks sell out by January, and prices climb the closer you get to March.
As big as you want. We've booked groups from 2 roommates to entire floors of a resort — just get us your headcount and we'll build the room block.
No. One person can hold the group's room block with a deposit, then everyone else books their own spot and pays their own share whenever they're ready.
Yes — the more people you bring, the lower the per-person rate on rooms, since it's split across more people. Ask your trip rep about perks for bigger groups.
What's included
All-you-can-eat food, unlimited drinks (yes, including alcohol) at the resort, pool and beach access, hosted pool parties and DJ events, a nightclub on-site every night, round-trip airport transfers, and our team on the ground with you all week.
Yes, at the resort — it's part of the all-inclusive package for the whole week, no drink tickets or extra charges.
Flights (unless your package says otherwise), the Party Pass and Booze Cruise add-ons, travel insurance, and personal spending money for souvenirs or off-resort food.
Rooms are shared based on your group's size — tell us how many per room and we'll match you up. More people per room means a lower price per person.
Payment
A deposit holds your spot and locks in your rate. From there, the rest of your balance is split into manageable payments leading up to your trip, no need to pay it all at once.
No. The price you're quoted is what you pay — deposit plus scheduled payments. Anything optional, like the Party Pass or Booze Cruise, is priced separately and always your choice.
Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to another student at no charge up until 14 days before departure. Trip protection at checkout covers a full refund if plans fall through.
Flights and travel documents
We typically don't include flights in the base package, but we're happy to add that in or help you find one. Booking flights separately usually saves you money per person.
Yes for Cancun, Punta Cana, Cabo, and Nassau. Fort Lauderdale is the one destination that doesn't require one.
No — U.S. citizens don't need a visa for short stays in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, or the Bahamas. Just bring a valid passport with at least 6 months left before it expires.
Look for our team right at arrivals — round-trip airport transfers are included in every package, so you'll go straight from baggage claim to the resort.
Party Pass and Booze Cruise
Your ticket to the off-resort club scene: round-trip bus transportation, skip-the-line entry, cover charge covered, and open bar at the top clubs. Available as a multi-event bundle or one at a time, and you can add it any time up until two days before your trip.
A few hours out on the water with your group and hundreds of other spring breakers — open bar, music, and a DJ, docking back at the marina before dinner.
Yes, any time up until two days before your trip. Just text your trip rep and they'll add it to your package.
Safety and on-site support
Great question, and one we take seriously. Our resorts sit in gated, secured hotel zones, separate from areas you might see referenced in the news. We pick you up right at the airport, bring you straight to the resort, and have staff with your group 24/7 plus an emergency line for the whole trip. If Mexico specifically has you on the fence, Punta Cana is in the Dominican Republic, outside Mexico entirely, and it's where most of our groups head.
Yes — every destination has an SBU rep on-site for the full week, running check-in, hosting events, and available 24/7.
Call or text your on-site rep first — they're there to handle it in real time. We also keep an emergency line staffed for the whole trip.
It's optional but recommended. Trip protection plans are available at checkout and cover a full refund if something comes up before your trip.
18, or accompanied by a guardian who is also booked on the trip.
18 in Cancun, Punta Cana, Cabo, and Nassau. Fort Lauderdale follows the U.S. drinking age of 21.
