The Busiest February Ever for Galveston Sailings

Carnival's Sailings from Galveston in February

That’s right. If you’re taking a cruise from Galveston this month, you’re a part of history. This will end up being to busiest February ever for Galveston cruises.

Thanks to the recent addition of Disney Cruise Lines and Princess Cruises to the schedule, there will be a staggering 22 cruises sailing this month.

What does all that traffic look like? The map above gives a good idea. It shows the routes of all the Carnival cruises that will sail during February. Keep in mind that since Carnival sails the same routes regularly, each of those routes represents between 1-4 trips during the month.

What’s more, this is just the routes for one line. Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Princess offer even more itineraries this month. We just couldn’t fit them all on the map.

Congrats to the Port of Galveston on this continued success. And remember, if you live in the area, you have a world-class cruise port right in your backyard. Take advantage!

P.S. — If you’re looking to buy a cruise for this record-breaking month, be sure to check out our new Buying Guide first to make sure you find the lowest price possible.
