2028 cruises from Perth (Fremantle)

Where do 2028 cruises from Fremantle go?

Every sailing departs from Fremantle — the port that serves Perth — and heads into Australian waters or beyond. The great majority sail the Australian coast, making Fremantle one of the best-placed embarkation ports on the continent for a domestic voyage. A smaller number reach into South East Asia and Indonesia, and one itinerary takes in Australia and New Zealand together. Voyages run from short breaks of 4 nights to longer passages of 20 nights, with a median around 14 nights — long enough to cover real distance along the coast.

If you live in Perth, you can drive to the terminal and board without a flight. If you are travelling from another state, a domestic hop to Perth is a straightforward way to join the ship — far simpler than flying long-haul. On the many one-way sailings, the voyage finishes in a different city; a domestic flight connects you home, and we can book that too, along with any hotels either side.

Which cruise lines sail from Fremantle in 2028?

Princess Cruises dominates the Fremantle season, with the largest share of departures by a wide margin. The rest of the programme is filled by a strong selection of luxury lines — Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Silversea Cruises and Cruise1st Package sailings that bundle the cruise with flights and accommodation. Seabourn also has a departure from Fremantle. That spread of lines — from Princess’s broad-appeal offering to the ultra-luxury end of the market — means Fremantle in 2028 suits a wide range of travellers, not just one type.

Where do the voyages finish?

Most of the 2028 sailings from Fremantle are one-way itineraries, finishing in a different Australian port or, for a couple of voyages, in Singapore. The breakdown of disembarkation ports is: Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Singapore and Auckland — plus a handful of round-trip sailings that return to Fremantle. If you are planning around a one-way voyage, we can book the connecting domestic flight home and any accommodation at either end, so nothing is left hanging.

Australian coastal voyages

The largest share of the 2028 programme from Fremantle covers Australian waters — a genuinely rewarding part of the world to sail, and one where the ship itself becomes part of the trip rather than just the means of getting somewhere. Cruises around Australia in 2028 are concentrated here, and Fremantle sits at the western end of many of the most popular routes.

For those keen on Princess Cruises around Australia in 2028, Fremantle is the main homeport for the season, which means more frequency and more choice of voyage length than any other western Australian departure. The Princess 2027–28 season launch brought a strong Australian programme with Sapphire Princess based in Fremantle — the ship completed a refit in 2025 and is well suited to the season.

Beyond Australia, a small number of sailings reach into South East Asia and Indonesia — longer voyages that broaden the itinerary considerably.

The ships sailing in 2028

Seven ships are confirmed on 2028 sailings from Fremantle. Here is what each one offers.

Sapphire Princess — Princess Cruises

Sapphire Princess is the workhorse of the Fremantle 2028 season, carrying the largest number of departures by far. She completed a refit in 2025 that added Crown Grill steakhouse and Makoto Ocean Sushi by Chef Makoto Okuwa as new specialty dining venues — both worth booking when you get on board. The ship is fully MedallionClass, meaning you wear a small wearable Medallion device and use it to order food, drinks and services to wherever you are on the ship via OceanNow® — no app required. For the 2027–28 season, Sapphire Princess is homeported in Fremantle, so if you are based in Perth, you can be on board the same day you leave home.

Cabin grades on Sapphire Princess — see the full Sapphire Princess cabins and deck plans:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.6 m², sleeps 4. Mid-deck position with central lift access for minimal motion and easy reach of onboard facilities.
• Premium Sea-view cabin O5 — 18.3 m², sleeps 4. Large panoramic window with a bow view, giving natural daylight and an unobstructed forward outlook that inside cabins cannot match.
• Balcony cabin B2 — 25.7 m², sleeps 4. Private balcony with your own outdoor space and direct access to fresh sea air, all day and all evening.
• Grand Suite S1 — 123.5 m², sleeps 4. The largest suite on the ship by a significant margin, with a separate living room and dining area — more than twice the space of the Penthouse suites.

Grand Princess — Princess Cruises

Grand Princess brings a well-established dining and entertainment programme to the Fremantle season. Crown Grill — named Best Cruise Steakhouse by USA Today — and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria anchor the specialty dining, while Movies Under the Stars® (a giant poolside screen with free popcorn and blankets) adds a relaxed evening option on voyages up the coast. Like all Princess ships, Grand Princess is MedallionClass with OceanNow delivery throughout.

Cabin grades on Grand Princess — full details at Grand Princess cabins and deck plans:

• Inside cabin IA — 14.9 m², sleeps 4. Mid-deck location with minimal ship motion and central access to lifts and facilities.
• Premium sea view O3 — 19.1 m², sleeps 4. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic window with an unobstructed sea view and natural light into the cabin.
• Premium Balcony cabin B2 — 25.5 m², sleeps 4. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors give more natural light and an open feel compared with standard balcony grades.
• Grand Suite S1 with private hot tub — 67.8 m², sleeps 4. The largest suite on board, with considerably more space than any other suite category and a private hot tub on the balcony.

Crown Princess — Princess Cruises

Crown Princess underwent a dry dock in Singapore in 2025, and the ship came out with refreshed dining — Crown Grill and Sabatini’s both renewed — plus O’Malley’s Irish Pub and a redesigned Gatsby’s Casino among the entertainment upgrades. She sails round Australia from multiple ports including Fremantle, and rare full circumnavigation itineraries are available for those who want to cover the whole country in a single voyage. See the Crown Princess cabins and deck plans for the full cabin breakdown, or browse Crown Princess 2028 sailings directly.

Seven Seas Navigator — Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Seven Seas Navigator represents the all-inclusive luxury end of the Fremantle programme. Regent Seven Seas Cruises positions Navigator around what the line calls Unrivalled Space at Sea and The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience — a fare structure where shore excursions, fine dining, unlimited beverages and gratuities are all included, so there is very little to pay once you are on board. The ship carries a Signature Suite SG at 79.1 m² with sleeping for up to 5 and a separate living area — generous even by luxury standards. Full details are at the Seven Seas Navigator cabins and deck plans page.

Riviera — Oceania Cruises

Riviera is Oceania Cruises’ signature ship for guests who put food at the centre of a holiday. All 6 restaurants on board — including Polo Grill, Toscana and Jacques — are included in the fare, with no surcharges, ever. The Culinary Center is the only cooking school at sea, running hands-on classes led by expert chefs: a practical extra for anyone who takes food seriously. With 1,250 guests and around 800 crew, the staff-to-guest ratio is unusually high for a ship of this size, and it shows in the service. See the Riviera cabins and deck plans for cabin options.

Seabourn Quest — Seabourn

Seabourn Quest carries just 450 guests and comes with a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio — the kind of ratio that means you are looked after rather than processed. Every suite has a private balcony, butler service and all fine wines and spirits included. In place of a traditional cruise desk, Seabourn Square is an open, café-style social hub at the heart of the ship where guests can make arrangements informally, grab a coffee or simply sit. It is a genuinely different pace from the larger ships. Cabin and suite details are at Seabourn Quest cabins and deck plans.

Silver Moon — Silversea

Silver Moon sails for Silversea, a line whose all-inclusive fare covers butler-serviced suites, exceptional dining, unlimited wines and spirits, Wi-Fi and gratuities as standard. The enhanced All-Inclusive Plus fare adds a fully refundable deposit and a Shore Excursion Credit based on voyage length and region — useful if you want flexibility to change plans before departure. See the full Silver Moon cabins and deck plans page for suite grades and sizes.

What fare options does Princess Cruises offer from Fremantle?

Princess Cruises from Fremantle in 2028 are available across 3 main fare tiers:

• Princess Standard — the base cruise fare covering the voyage itself. The Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages can be added for beverages, Wi-Fi and more, but are not included at this tier.
• Princess Plus — includes 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (with a daily limit of 15 drinks), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating. This is the most commonly booked tier and represents solid value for most travellers.
• Promotional fares — fare types such as last-minute offers and tactical fares appear periodically and can bring the same Plus inclusions at a reduced rate. Our team can tell you what is current when you call.

If you are choosing between Standard and Plus, it is worth doing the sums on drinks and Wi-Fi alone — for most couples travelling 14 nights, Plus pays for itself. Our Australian cruise experts can walk you through the numbers seven days a week.

Are there any discounted 2028 sailings from Fremantle?

A number of sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. The maximum reduction across the programme reaches 14% on a single departure, though that is the ceiling rather than the norm — most reduced sailings are closer to 6% off. If you are flexible on exact dates, it is worth checking which specific voyages carry the current reduction, as these can change. Our team can point you to the best-priced options at the time you call.

What about the Princess 2027–28 season launch?

The Princess 2027–28 season launch placed Sapphire Princess at Fremantle as the homeport ship for the season — the most significant commitment to Western Australia that Princess has made in recent years. That means more frequency, more voyage lengths and more itinerary shapes (round-trip and one-way) out of Fremantle than you would find from a ship simply passing through.

The 2025 refit works on Sapphire Princess added two new specialty dining venues — Crown Grill and Makoto Ocean Sushi — and ensured the ship is fully current for the season. If you sailed Sapphire Princess before the refit, the dining options are meaningfully different now.

For those thinking ahead, the Princess Cruises Around Australia 2027 programme also remains on sale and shares several of the same ships and routes — worth a look if your dates are flexible between years.

Other 2028 departures worth considering

If Fremantle does not suit your dates or your route, there are several neighbouring options worth knowing about. 2028 cruises from Melbourne pick up many of the same coastal itineraries from the other side of the country. 2028 cruises around Tasmania offer a more compact, scenery-focused voyage for those who want something different. And if you are on the east coast, Brisbane January 2028 departures and Brisbane March 2028 departures offer additional timing options.

For the wider Australian picture, 2027 cruises around Australia and Princess Cruises Around Australia 2026 are also on sale — useful if 2028 dates sell out or if you want to compare across seasons. Thinking about a one-way voyage ending in Singapore? The Singapore to Australia 2028 page covers the reverse direction.

If New Year is on your mind, New Year 2028 cruises cover departures timed around the holiday period across all Australian ports. And for those drawn to Princess specifically, Princess Cruises from Perth pulls together the full range of Princess departures from Fremantle across all seasons, while Princess Cruises from Sydney in 2028 shows what is sailing from the east coast at the same time.

All of the above are part of the broader cruises from Fremantle programme. If you would like help working out which sailing fits your timing, budget and travel style, our Australian cruise experts are on hand seven days a week — and we can put flights, hotels, tours, transfers and insurance around any booking through our Cruise1st Package service.

Also worth exploring: Princess Cruises from Brisbane in 2027, Christmas cruises 2027 in Australia, and April 2028 Australia cruises for those planning a specific time of year.
