Carnival Cruises from Galveston to Yucatan (Progreso)

The Port of Galveston, Texas welcomes many Carnival Cruise Line cruise ships throughout the year at Galveston’s cruise terminals offering best itineraries to the port of Yucatan (Progreso), Mexico. Progreso, located on the northwest coast of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, is a regular port of call on Western Caribbean itineraries, particularly those leaving from port of Galveston, Texas. Passengers disembark on a very long pier, the Terminal Remota that juts out 6.5 km (4.0 mi) into the Gulf of Mexico. Passengers can go to shore to visit Progreso, Merida or the Maya civilization archaeological sites of Uxmal and Dzibilchaltun.
