## The Port of Galveston

The Port of Galveston is the busiest cruise port in Texas. What’s more amazing is that just over a decade ago, no cruises called the port home.

Today hundreds of thousands of passengers sail from the port every year, and the world’s largest cruise lines including Carnival and Royal Caribbean offer cruises aboard a wide variety of ships.

While most cruises head to the western Caribbean for exotic ports of call like Cozumel, Roatan, Belize, and Jamaica, you can cruise all the way to Europe from Galveston. And with each passing year, cruising from the island becomes even better. It has transformed itself into a world-class cruising point, much to the enjoyment of the millions living within a few hours drive to the port.
