The 1877 tall ship Elissa with Carnaval Cruise Ship

Located on the upper Texas coast at the mouth of beautiful Galveston Bay, the Port of Galveston is 30 minutes steaming time from the open sea. Luxurious cruise ships arrive in and depart from Galveston throughout the year, with major cruise lines offering multiple Caribbean destinations and the opportunity to engage in excursions on Galveston Island before or after their sea voyage. From the cruise ship decks, passengers can easily see the charming Historic Downtown Strand District, which is just one block from the terminals on Harborside Drive. Also in sight is the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa, one of the oldest ships sailing today.
