Royal Caribbean Group’s new Galveston terminal, set to open Nov. 9, will be the first cruise terminal to generate 100% of its needed energy through on-site solar panels.
This makes the terminal, which will be used by Royal Caribbean International, the first LEED Zero Energy facility in the world.
The $125m, 161,334-square-foot terminal at Pier 10 significantly expands the line’s presence in the port, increasing its ability to accommodate up to 630,000 passengers per year. It will be home to the Oasis-class Allure of the Seas, among other ships.
‘We are focused on innovating across all aspects of our company, especially in our work to advance sustainability in the communities we visit,’ said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. ‘We deeply value both the oceans we sail and the communities we visit and operate in, and the modern design and development features at our terminal in Galveston will work in service of both.’
