 When VOYAGER OF THE SEAS began sailing in November 1999 she was the largest passenger vessel ever constructed. At 1020 feet in length and displacing 138,000 tons, she held this honor until Cunard’s QUEEN MARY 2 entered service in 2004.VOYAGER’s Galveston itineraries include stops at Montego Bay, Jamaica, George Town, Grand Cayman,and Cozumel, Mexico. The following week will have her calling at Cozumel, Roatan, Honduras, and Yucatan (Progreso) Mexico.

With the increased popularity of “Homeland” cruising since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 Galveston has benefitted enormously. The port has seen steady growth since Carnival Cruise Lines began operating the CELEBRATION out of the seaport in 2000. Carnival currently operates the Fantasy Class vessel ECSTASY, and the newer and larger CONQUEST. Galveston, has been without a Royal Caribbean ship since last April. The increase in the number of passengers, 3114 on VOYAGER, will help offset the loss of other vessels over the past two years.
