Just off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico, the trendy town of Galveston best known for the famed seawall, has emerged as an enviable cruise destination center. The waterfront town is home to the Port of Galveston, Texas’ gateway for cruise sailings, and the cruise port is located on Harborside Drive by the edge of downtown.

The Port of Galveston is the primary point of embarkation for cruises to the western Caribbean to handle over 800,000 cruise passengers annually! Texas residents account for 11.2% of all U.S. cruise passengers. And right next door is this outstanding sea bound exit offering great cruising vacations.

Travelers from the Gulf Coast areas do not have to look far for tropical vacation opportunities. Cruises have become a way of life and so very popular with all-inclusive packages and multiple port destinations. Rather than traveling to other busy departure ports, sailing off from Galveston makes real good sense.

Offering ship bound passenger’s opportunities to snorkel and lounge before embarking for desired shores, most cruise liners offer great fun and excitement for all ages. You get to enjoy world-class dining, amusements and luxury spas. There is bound to be everything nice for everyone aboard a Galveston cruise ship.
