About this site
GalvestonCruiseSchedule is an independent schedule of cruises leaving the Port of Galveston. It lists 749 sailings on 17 ships from 6 cruise lines, from September 2026 to November 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. When you find a sailing you like, we send you to the cruise line to check the price and book.
How the schedule is put together
Each sailing is built from published sources and checked against a second one:
- The port's ship schedule shows which ship is in Galveston on which day. We use it to confirm that a departure is real.
- Each ship's published sailing list gives the departure date, the itinerary name, the number of nights and a starting fare.
- Ports of call come from a second source: The Cruise Web's itinerary listings, the cruise line's own site, or the published day-by-day itinerary for that sailing.
- If we can't confirm the full list of ports, the sailing is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps.
How sure we are
As of 2026-09-10:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 742 | The ship is on the port schedule for that date, and the ports match a second source. |
| Single source | 7 | The line publishes the sailing and we confirmed its ports, but the port schedule doesn't show the ship on that day. Check these with the line. |
We record which ports a sailing visits. The order and the times in port can change, so check the line's day-by-day itinerary if that matters to you.
About the fares
A fare here is a starting price per person, usually for an interior cabin with two people sharing. 744 of the 749 sailings have one. Each fare shows the date we checked it, and taxes and port fees are extra unless the table says otherwise.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then get the real price from the line. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
Fares are re-checked on a schedule and the site is rebuilt afterwards. Sailings drop off automatically once they have left. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.

Independence
This site is not affiliated with the Port of Galveston, with any cruise line or with any travel agency. Links to cruise lines may become affiliate links. The affiliate disclosure explains what that means. It does not change which sailings we list or the order they appear in.
When something is wrong
Cruise lines change schedules often, and a list like this can fall behind between updates. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
