NEW GALVESTON CITY TOURS ADDED TO CARNIVAL'S "FUN SHIP"
CRUISES FROM TEXAS
MIAMI (11/7/03) - Carnival Cruise Lines has added two post-cruise
shore excursion options in Galveston for guests interested in exploring the
city following their cruise on either the Celebration or Elation, both of
which depart from Galveston year round.
The new excursions - Galveston Romance and History Tour, and Trains,
Boats and Planes - both offer a fun and interesting opportunity to
experience Galveston's history and charm.
The Galveston Romance Tour visits the Great Storm exhibit at the Pier 21
Theater, where guests watch a short film that chronicles the history behind
one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history. The tour
also stops at the Galveston County Historical Museum, which takes guests on
a two-hour guided motor coach tour of this delightful city, including some
of the area's 19th century Victorian mansions and famed churches. The tour
also includes some leisure time - perfect for shopping along the Strand or
dining at a local eatery. An optional airport transfer is available for
guests with flights after 4:30 p.m.
Guests can explore the history of transportation on Galveston Island by
rail, water and air on the Trains, Boats and Planes excursion. This fun and
informative tour visits Galveston's Railroad Museum, the Lone Star Flight
Museum and Texas Aviation Hall of Fame. The Railroad Museum features the
site of the original Union Passenger Depot and guests can explore the
galleries and interactive exhibits, as well as the largest collection of
antique railcars in the Southwest. Next, the tour visits the Lone Star
Flight Museum, a remarkable 50,000-square-foot-facility and home to more
than 30 vintage aircraft, as well as the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame.
Guests can also learn about the port of Galveston, which was once known as
the "Ellis Island of the West" due to the number of immigrants that entered
the U.S. through this busy seaport. This tour is designed for guests with
flights after 4:30 p.m.
The "Fun Ship" Celebration operates four- and five-day cruises from
Galveston to Mexico, departing every other Monday, Thursday and Saturday,
while the SuperLiner Elation departs Galveston every Sunday on seven-day
western Caribbean voyages
