Port of Galveston will officially welcome year-round sailings from Norwegian Cruise Line beginning in November 2025.

Norwegian signed a 10-year deal this week to move full-time into the Port of Galveston's new terminal at Pier 16 when it opens in November 2025.

Galveston Port's new 10-year deal with Norwegian Cruise Line will enhance its role as a cruise hub and boost the local economy.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings will use a new terminal in Galveston, Texas, starting in November 2025 under a 10-year contract, boosting local tourism and economic growth.

Galveston’s cruise line industry continues to expand its offerings by partnering long-term with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. The Galveston Wharves announced Wednesday it has entered into a 10-year agreement with the global cruise line that would allow for regular seasonal cruises from the port’s $100 million terminal to open in late 2025.

The contract is the culmination of years of discussions between port officials and Norwegian Cruise representatives.
