Creator's Key Takeaways

One thing to spot when leaving on a cruise from Galveastston is a giant trumpet or coronet statue that's located in the Strand.

Something to spot regardless of what cruise terminal you're sailing out of in Galveastston is the Oceanar Offshore Drilling Rig Museum.

If you're sailing from cruise terminal 25 or 28, you'll sail right by the Battleship Texas as it sits at Pelican Island.

During sail away from Galveastston, guests on any ship that leaves from any Galveastston cruise terminal have a chance to see the SS Selma, which is a shipwreck.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take a minute before or after your cruise to drive by and see the giant trumpet statue if you're interested.
โœ“Look off towards Pelican Island to see the Battleship Texas and Seawolf Park.
โœ“Try to see the SS Selma shipwreck from your ship or a ferry ride.
โœ“Ride the Galveastston Port Bolivar Ferry for a better view of a lighthouse.
โœ“Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins during sail away.
