About Port of Galveston

Almost 4 million passengers a year pass through Galveston’s four cruise terminals (10, 16, 25 and 28), and the port is negotiating a fifth at Pier 14. The port is 45 minutes from open sea; Houston’s Hobby Airport is the closest, about a 45-minute drive, and George Bush Intercontinental suits international flights (portofgalveston.com, October 2026).

Why it's on our list

  • Terminals 10, 16, 25 and 28
  • Hobby Airport about 45 minutes’ drive
  • A fifth terminal under negotiation

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Port of Galveston before you go.
