Galveston cruise port shuttle

Every terminal at the Port of Galveston

Galveston is the only cruise homeport in Texas and the fourth-busiest in North America, moving more than 3.4 million passengers a year across four terminals on Harborside Drive. Most travelers just say "the Port of Galveston," but each cruise line usually uses a specific terminal, and they can sit up to a mile apart. The most useful thing you can do before arrival day is confirm the terminal on your boarding pass. We take you to the right one.

Terminals can change by sailing. Ships shift between them by season, so the number printed on your boarding pass is the one that counts. Give us that, rather than just "the port."

How to get to the port

We pick up from both Houston airports, the IAH to Galveston shuttle and the Hobby to Galveston shuttle, and from Galveston hotels for return trips. After your cruise, the Galveston to Houston shuttle runs the reverse. You can see exact times on the schedule and what is included on the pricing page. It is all part of our Houston to Galveston shuttle service.

What to expect on arrival

We drop you at the terminal entrance, where porters handle your large bags and you carry on your documents and valuables. From there you move into check-in and security on your line's schedule. If you are driving yourself instead, the cruise parking guide covers the official lots and how to reserve.
