Royal Caribbean Galveston Transportation — Private Rides to Terminal 10

From IAH, Hobby, or any Houston hotel — straight to Royal Caribbean's cruise terminal

Sailing with Royal Caribbean from Galveston? We pick you up at IAH, Hobby Airport, your Houston hotel, or your home and drive you straight to Royal Caribbean’s Terminal 10 — no shared stops, no rideshare surge pricing, and no parking lots. Terminal 10 was built for Royal Caribbean’s largest Oasis-class ships, and sailing mornings bring thousands of guests to the same drop-off lane, so a pre-booked ride takes the stress out of your arrival. Choose a private sedan, a luxury SUV or Chevrolet Suburban, or a 14-passenger Sprinter, all at a flat Galveston cruise rate.

Why Royal Caribbean Cruisers Book a Private Transfer

Built for Big-Ship Sailing Days

Oasis-class ships board thousands of guests at Terminal 10 on the same morning. A pre-booked ride means no waiting for rideshares or crowded shuttles.

Drop-Off at the Terminal Curb

Your chauffeur drives into the terminal drop-off area and helps unload your bags next to the Royal Caribbean porters.

Timed to Your Boarding Window

We plan your pickup from Houston around your Royal Caribbean check-in time and traffic, so you arrive on schedule without waiting in the heat.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Transfer Rates

Very nice driver. Brought a car seat for our baby. Drove safely even though the other drivers on the road wanted a road fight 🙄. Our ride was port Galveston to IAH. We rode in a sprinter van.

The was a great experience. Sam was great and very communicative. The price we paid was extremely reasonable and arguably cheaper than all the other options we called. This will more than likely be our go to shuttle service if we sail out of Houston again.

Where is the Royal Caribbean terminal in Galveston?
Royal Caribbean sails from Galveston Cruise Terminal 10 at Pier 10, on the east end of the Port of Galveston, about a mile past the Carnival terminals. Your chauffeur drops you at the terminal curb.
Which Royal Caribbean ships sail from Galveston?
In 2026, Royal Caribbean sails Oasis-class ships such as Harmony of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas from Galveston, along with Mariner of the Seas. Icon of the Seas is scheduled to begin sailing from Galveston in August 2027. We provide transfers for every Royal Caribbean sailing.
How much is a private ride from Houston to Royal Caribbean Terminal 10?
One-way flat rates from IAH or Hobby are $175 for an executive sedan or passenger van, $200 for a luxury SUV, $225 for a Chevrolet Suburban, and $325 for a 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Rates are per vehicle, the same any day of the week, and gratuity is added at checkout.
How early should I be picked up for my Royal Caribbean sailing?
We suggest scheduling IAH pickups 3.5 to 4 hours before your assigned boarding time, and Hobby pickups about 3 hours before boarding. This allows for I-45 traffic and the busy drop-off lane at Terminal 10.
What time should I book my flight home after a Royal Caribbean cruise?
Guests usually leave the ship in the early morning. We recommend booking flights after 12:00 pm from Hobby and after 1:00 pm from IAH, so you have time to disembark, clear customs, and drive to the airport without rushing.
Do you provide child seats for families?
Yes. Rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats are available for $15 per seat. Tell us your children's ages when you book.
Can you pick us up at Terminal 10 after our cruise?
Yes. Pre-book your return ride and your chauffeur will be waiting at Terminal 10 when your ship docks. They will text you once you clear customs and drive you to IAH, Hobby, or your home.
How early should I book my Royal Caribbean transfer?
We recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, and 1 to 2 weeks ahead for spring break, summer, and holiday sailings, when Sprinters and larger vehicles fill up first.
