The Port of Galveston, Texas welcomes many Royal Caribbean cruise ships throughout the year at Galveston’s cruise terminals offering best itineraries to the port of Yucatán (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.
Progreso boasts one of the world’s longest piers. Royal Caribbean ships dock at the end of the pier and then take a shuttle (or a taxi cab for $5) to the the foot of the pier and then into town. Progreso is about 18 miles north of the town of Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Enjoy your Royal Caribbean cruise vacation to Yucatan peninsula from Galveston.
