Galveston's Cruise Industry Celebrates 15 Years of Nonstop Cruising

10/2/2015

 
PictureCarnival Magic & Navigator of the Seas In Galveston
       This past week on September 30, the Port of Galveston was able to celebrate 15 years of year round cruise ships departing from Galveston. On September 30, 2000, the Carnival Celebration (no longer sailing & then known as the M/S Celebration) departed on its Galveston maiden voyage. Since this time Galveston's number of cruise lines and ships have expanded significantly. According to the Port of Galveston, after 15 years, 7 million passengers have departed from Galveston. This has an impact on the local economy as cruise passengers often bring in additional tourism revenue to hotels, restaurants, and transportation companies. 
         Currently, Galveston has two cruise terminals. Terminal 1 was renovated for the arrival on the Carnival Magic in 2011 and Terminal 2 is currently being renovated for the arrival of Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. Next month, Royal Caribbean is replacing the Navigator of the Seas with the Liberty of the Seas. Next year, Carnival is replacing the Carnival Magic with the Carnival Breeze and the Carnival Triumph with the Carnival Liberty. The Carnival Freedom will continue sailing from Galveston. The guest capacity from Galveston will be greatly increasing with these new additions to the Galveston fleet. In addition, Disney Cruise Line will once again be sailing from Galveston in November 2015 and continue through January 2016. Congratulations to the Port of Galveston and we hope the Galveston cruise industry continues to be successful in the future.
