In 2024, Galveston saw a record 384 cruises and 1.7 million guests, marking a significant increase of half a million travelers compared to 2023.
Rodger Rees, the port's director and CEO, stated, 'Florida doesn't have many more terminals. The market has been somewhat saturated,' highlighting Galveston's growth potential.
The Texas port plans to open a fourth $156 million terminal in November, which MSC and Norwegian will share, marking the start of MSC's Galveston itineraries.
While Florida's ports are near max capacity, Galveston's market is still growing, with aspirations to surpass Florida's Port of Everglades as the third most popular cruise port.
