Getting from Houston to a Galveston sailing shouldn't be the stressful part of the vacation. AK Prestige runs private car service to the Port of Galveston from anywhere in Greater Houston and from both airports — one flat, all-inclusive price, luggage help door to gangway, and pickup timed to your embarkation window. No parking garage, no shuttle transfer, no meter.
Land at Hobby or IAH and step straight into your car — we track your flight and drive you the rest of the way to the terminal. Hobby is the closer airport (about 45–55 minutes to the port); IAH is a bit farther north. Either way, we handle the whole airport-to-cruise-port leg so you arrive relaxed and on schedule.
Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney, MSC, Norwegian and Princess all sail from Galveston, and we serve every terminal. Tell us your ship or pier and we'll be at the right door. Families and groups welcome — our SUVs and executive Sprinter carry the whole party and the checked bags that come with a week at sea.

FAQ
William P. Hobby (HOU) is the closest major airport to the Port of Galveston — roughly 40 miles, about a 45–55 minute drive. George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is farther north, around 63 miles. We run private transfers from both directly to your cruise terminal.
A private Business Class sedan is a flat $180 from downtown Houston, $165 from Hobby, and $195 from IAH — all-inclusive, with luggage help and gratuity built in. SUVs and larger vehicles are available for families and groups with cruise luggage.
Cruise-port parking runs about $80–$120+ for a week and leaves your car sitting by the water in coastal weather. A private round-trip transfer is often comparable once you add parking, fuel and tolls — and you skip the shuttle, the walk with luggage, and the post-cruise traffic. We drop you at the terminal door and pick you up when you debark.
All of them — Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney Cruise Line, MSC, Norwegian and Princess all sail from the Port of Galveston. Tell us your terminal or ship and we time your pickup to embarkation, and meet you for the ride home after debarkation.
Yes — book the round trip in one step. On debarkation morning we track the port and are ready when you clear the terminal, so you are not standing in the taxi line with your bags. We can drop you at home, at IAH or Hobby for a flight, or anywhere in Greater Houston.
Yes. For couples a sedan is plenty; for families or friends sailing together, our SUVs and Sprinter seat the group with room for the big checked bags. Just note your passenger and bag count when you book and we send the right vehicle.
