Cruise Overview

This 12-day, one-way cruise from Galveston to Fort Lauderdale is a relaxing, destination-focused sailing that lets you start on the Texas coast and finish in one of Florida’s top cruise gateways. It’s a great option if you want a longer vacation without repeating the same route back to the starting port. Along the way, you’ll typically enjoy a mix of sea days and warm-weather stops (ports can vary by sailing date), giving you time for beaches, local culture, and easy excursions. The journey ends at Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades, where it’s simple to connect to flights, extend your stay in South Florida, or continue your travel plans.
