Port of Galveston Cruise Parking From $16.00 Per Day

On-Site Parking Options at the Port of Galveston

Galveston Cruise Port has three terminals and is located on Harborside Drive on the island of Galveston, close to downtown Galveston, and around 52 miles from Houston. The port services four major cruise lines: Carnival, Disney, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean. Since August 2022, Royal Caribbean cruise liners have been sailing out of the new Terminal 3 at Pier 10, to the east of the other terminals. 

Official on-site parking is available for all cruise passengers traveling out of these three terminals, and you can book in advance or drive up on the day. There are several different options to choose from, depending on how close to the terminal you want to park and how much you’re happy to pay. 

The Economy Lots (A-D) are situated between 29th Street and 33rd Street and passengers parking here will have to take a shuttle to reach the terminal. Parking rates in these surface lots start at $65 for four days and go up to $110 for eight-day cruises. There are also two premium on-site parking options at Port Galveston - Express Lot (outside Terminal 2) and SMP Parking Garage (just across the street from Harborside), where you can park and walk to the terminal. Rates in these facilities range from $80 for four days up to $135 for eight days. At the new terminal, Cruise Terminal 10, there are three parking areas - North Lot, South Lot and Pier 14 Lot.
