Itinerary
Jan 23 | Here we go!
Board your flight bound for Houston Texas. Upon arrival, you will be met by a Universal Travel representative and assisted with your transfer to Galveston. The evening is at your leisure.
Overnight: Galveston, Texas
Jan 24 | Galveston | Free Time in Old Town | Embarkation
This morning is yours to explore, shop and browse downtown Galveston. If you’re fond of unique and interesting items for yourself or gifts for others, downtown Galveston is where you need to spend some time with Hendley Market as your first stop. More shopping you will find “on Strand”, an avenue that parallels Galveston Bay, as well as Post office Street, taking in all the antique, clothing, art and unique boutiques Galveston offers. If shopping “isn’t your thing”, Downtown Galveston has plenty to see and do. It is home to the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum. Go aboard and see how 19th century sailors lived, and how commerce was transacted along the world’s waterways. And what port area would be complete without an exhibit about pirates. Check out the Pirates! Legends of the Gulf Coast attraction in Saengerfest Park for a glimpse into the lives of the pirates who profited on the high seas. Embark, in time for lunch, onto the beautiful Norwegian Viva, your floating hotel for the next fourteen nights.
