Every year a good number of passengers set sail from the island. Many people fly into Houston from all around America exploring Galveston in a new way. Actually, the island is far away from the airport. From Houston Hobby (HOU) comes up with a distance of 40 miles and about 70 miles starting from Bush Intercontinental (IAH).
And here comes a good news that Galveston Cruise Shuttle services offer safe travel from Airport to the port. The transportation cost is not cheap and it is the only way to reach the port. There are different types of Shuttle services from the Houston Airport like Uber, Taxi Cab, Cruise Line Transfer Shuttle, Independent Shuttle, and car rentals. Depending upon your spending capacity, you can take any of the above transportation services. Some passengers prefer to opt for the cruise line taking care of the entire transportation. This transportation is restrictive and expensive. It leaves the airport at a certain time, waiting time is too much, it is a direct ride to the cruise port, and there is no possibility of getting any items on the way. There is a silver lining in the Cruise Shuttle travel, if you find a huge traffic with a breakdown, Cruise won’t leave without you.
