Houston, located 50 miles northwest of Galveston on the Gulf of Mexico, is the largest city in Texas and a commercial powerhouse dealing primarily with energy sources; ie, petroleum products. It has all the amenities one would expect of a world-class megalopolis.
Houston's cruise terminal is located at Barbours Cut in La Porte some 30 miles east of the center of Houston (25 minutes by road), 40 miles southeast of Bush International Airport (45 minutes by road) and 20 miles east of Hobby Airport (25 minutes by road) near the confluence of the Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay. Galveston Bay is a shallow body of water, 7-9 feet in depth, and is dredged along its 30-mile length southeast to Galveston and the Gulf of Mexico.
