Royal Caribbean International Terminal – Terminal 10

Royal Caribbean Group’s new Galveston terminal, which opened 2022, is the first cruise terminal to generate 100 percent of its needed energy through on-site solar panels. This makes the terminal, which will be used by the company’s Royal Caribbean International brand, the first LEED Zero Energy facility in the world.

According to Royal Caribbean, the new cruise terminal will be the first in Texas to achieve LEED Gold certification, an industry-leading certification.

In developing the new terminal, Royal Caribbean Group approached design strategies that aligned with its holistic environmental goals and focus to advance the development of sustainable infrastructure, as well as its decarbonization strategy — Destination Net Zero — including:

• Improved sustainability in construction
• Renewable energy and carbon reduction
• Regional and global environmental benefits
• Community connectivity

The Galveston terminal marks the cruise company’s fourth LEED-certified facility and its first Gold certified. Previous projects include Terminal A at PortMiami; the Springfield, Oregon campus; and the Innovation Lab at Royal Caribbean Group’s corporate headquarters in Miami.
