Answers to the most common Galveston cruise parking questions. Portside is expanding here, so join the waitlist for a reserved spot near the terminal.
Not yet. Galveston is on our expansion list. Join the free waitlist, and if you sign up at least 90 days before you sail, we will work to secure you a reserved spot near the terminal and email you the moment one opens.
On-site port parking is about $20 to $35 a day depending on whether it is covered or uncovered and which lot you choose. Private off-site lots typically run from about $17 to $19 a day before taxes and fees. Most Galveston lots charge by operational day, which is the number of cruise nights plus one, so a 7-night cruise is 8 parking days.
Port of Galveston is served by Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian. See each line's parking page from the Galveston port overview.
Galveston cruises depart from Cruise Terminal 25, Cruise Terminal 28, Cruise Terminal 10 and Cruise Terminal 16. Assignments shift by season and sailing, so confirm the terminal on your boarding pass.
