Fremantle to Exmouth Cruises up to -2%

If you are chasing cruise deals with a true WA feel, this route is a great place to start.

A WA coastal sailing with a reef-ready finale

A Fremantle to Exmouth cruise typically departs Fremantle, Perth’s cruise gateway, and sails north along Western Australia’s coastline to Exmouth. It suits travellers who want an easy way to reach the Ningaloo region, cruisers who love nature-focused ports, and anyone who prefers relaxed coastal exploring over big-city touring. If you are also considering broader departures, you can compare options via Cruises from Perth.

Why this route is special, plus one handy fact

The big draw is how quickly the scenery changes. You go from heritage streets and cafés in Fremantle to wide-open coastline and reef country up north. Practical tip: pack reef-ready gear such as swimmers, rash vest, and reef-safe sunscreen, plus a light jacket for breezy deck time. Another tip is to book snorkelling or wildlife tours early, because Exmouth shore options can be limited and popular when ships are in port.

Interesting fact: Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth is one of the few places in the world where whale sharks are regularly seen close to shore during the season.

Princess Cruises deals are worth watching on Western Australia itineraries, especially if you want a comfortable onboard routine and easy sea-day relaxation between ports.
