The Port of Galveston and Royal Caribbean Cruises have agreed to construct a new cruise terminal to accommodate larger Oasis-class ships.
According to a December 5, 2018 Houston Chronicle article, the new terminal will cost Royal Caribbean close to $100 million.
Royal Caribbean is expected to complete construction of the new facility – referred to as Terminal 3 – in fall of 2021.
In addition to allowing Royal Caribbean to bring in larger ships, the new terminal should free up space at Galveston’s two existing terminals.
