Repositioning Cruises Offer Exotic Itineraries
Galveston to/from England, Portugal, Spain, Panama, New York and San Francisco
Repositioning cruises are one-way itineraries when ships sail to a new homeport. There are seven upcoming sailings that depart or arrive in Galveston. You can depart Galveston and sail to Spain or Panama and then fly home. Or, you can fly to England, Portugal, Spain, New York or San Francisco and sail home to Galveston. It’s a chance to stop in ports that cruises from Galveston rarely visit. Plus, the prices are right!
