An additional cruise ship will now anchor at the entrance of the Galveston Bay after the Port of Galveston debuted its newest and fourth cruise terminal on Nov. 7.

The port broke ground on its new cruise terminal back in 2024 after MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings signed long-term contracts with the Galveston Wharves, ultimately funding the $156 million project, according to a Nov. 7 news release from Galveston Wharves. The MSC Seascape was the first ship to take off from the new terminal.

The cruise complex features a 165,000 square foot terminal, a 55 million dollar parking garage and two boarding bridges. Sign up for the Hello, Houston! daily newsletter to get local reports like this delivered directly to your inbox.
