Regal Princess Begins Sailing from Port of Galveston
Princess Cruises’ Regal Princess arrived at the Port of Galveston this past weekend, marking the start of a milestone cruise season as the largest Princess ship to ever homeport from the Texas port.
To celebrate the occasion, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer Terry Thornton, Regal Princess Captain Aldo Traverso, and Celebrations Ambassador Jill Whelan hosted a traditional maritime plaque exchange with Galveston Wharves Board Vice Chairman Jeff Patterson.
“We first started sailing out of Galveston nearly 20 years ago. Princess loves Texas and we know Texans enjoy the convenience of having the Love Boat so close by offering a hassle-free drive or convenient fly option to enjoy the beautiful destinations in the Western Caribbean,” said Thornton. “As we celebrate the arrival of Regal Princess, we extend our deep appreciation to the Port of Galveston for their ongoing partnership, and we’re excited to welcome aboard the only premium cruise experience from Galveston.”
Regal Princess will offer a total of 21 roundtrip Western Caribbean voyages from Galveston through March 24, 2024. Cruises range from seven- to 12 days, with highlights including visits to Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan.
The ship will sail special holiday voyages over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. It will also offer the “Love and Romance Celebration” themed voyage with Princess Love Ambassador and bridal fashion icon Randy Fenoli on December 3, 2023.
The 142,229-ton Regal Princess has a capacity of 3,560 guests. Onboard ship highlights include the SeaWalk (a glass-floor walkway extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship), top-deck pools and hot tubs, the Sanctuary retreat for adults, numerous dining options, and a variety of entertainment options.
To mark the 20th anniversary of when Princess Cruises started sailing out of Galveston and the 10th anniversary of the debut of Regal Princess, the ship will return to the port once again for Western Caribbean cruises for the 2024-2025 season.
Bookings are open for Regal Princess cruises from Galveston for both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons.
