GALVESTON, Texas — There will soon be a fourth cruise terminal at the Port of Galveston.
Construction is underway that will convert a cargo warehouse into the terminal. The 165,000-square-foot terminal will be at Pier 16 and comes with a $151M price tag. It comes with a $55 million parking garage.
The terminal is scheduled to open in November 2025 and will be home to the MSC Seascape.
During a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, Galveston Wharves port director and CEO Rodger Rees and MSC Cruises chairman Rick Sasson pulled back the curtain on a rending of what the terminal will look like.
“This beautiful new terminal will generate jobs and economic growth for the region, an exciting new cruise choice for our market, and growth opportunities for our port partners,” Rees said.
For MSC Cruises, Galveston will be its fourth homeport.
“We are thrilled to work closely with the Galveston Wharves to shape the future of cruising in Texas,” Sasso said.
