Galveston is a lively and historic cruise port on the Gulf of Mexico that serves cruise lines like Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line on Caribbean itineraries.
Cruising from Galveston gives you the chance to spend some time in Houston when you fly in to that city’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport or Houston Hobby Airport, which are located about an hour away from the cruise port.
Once in Galveston, though, there is plenty to explore, and the beachfront Holiday Inn Resort Galveston is located within an easy distance to your ship and several top attractions. The hotel is a five-minute drive (or 35-minute stroll along the seawall) to Historic Pleasure Pier with its amusement rides, restaurants and shops in a vintage carnival atmosphere. The Schlitterbahn water amusement wonderland is three miles away, and you can also quickly reach The Strand Historic District and Moody Mansion.
Galveston is a popular drive-to port for cruisers living throughout the state and region, and this hotel offers an attractive package of free parking during your cruise, plus a complimentary shuttle service to your ship. The property also features a large pool, fitness center, spa and restaurant where kids 12 and younger eat free.
