Start Your Cruise Vacation Before Embarkation Day
The Juneteenth Freedom Cruise™ departs from Galveston, Texas. Guests traveling from outside the area are encouraged to arrive before embarkation day whenever possible. Arriving early provides additional time to settle in, recover from your travels and prepare for the start of your cruise.
This page will feature selected pre-cruise hotel options for Juneteenth Freedom Cruise™ guests. Hotel availability, rates, reservation deadlines, amenities and transportation arrangements may vary by property, so review the information for your selected hotel carefully before making your reservation.
Travel Tip
Consider Arriving in Galveston Before Embarkation Day
Travel delays can occur. Guests arriving before embarkation day have additional time to respond to unexpected flight, traffic, weather or transportation disruptions without placing their cruise departure at unnecessary risk.
Plan Ahead
Why Consider a Pre-Cruise Hotel?
A pre-cruise stay can make the transition from traveling to embarkation day more comfortable and manageable.
2
Rest Before the Cruise
Settle into Galveston, enjoy a good night's rest and begin embarkation morning without having to complete a long-distance trip immediately before boarding the ship.
3
Prepare for Embarkation
Use the evening before sailing to organize your travel documents, luggage tags, boarding information and other items you will need at the cruise terminal.
