Princess Cruises from Fremantle 2027

Princess Cruises homeports Sapphire Princess at Fremantle for the 2027–28 season, making Western Australia one of the most convenient places in the country to join a Princess voyage. Sailings range from 4 to 18 nights and cover Australian coastal routes, with most voyages running one-way between Fremantle and ports on the east coast — so wherever you are based, a short domestic hop or a drive to the pier gets you aboard. All 2027 cruises are bookable now through Cruise1st.

Princess sailings departing Fremantle in 2027

Every sailing departs from Fremantle (Perth’s cruise terminal), and the Australian coast is the destination across all of them. Most voyages are one-way: 5 finish in Sydney and 2 finish in Brisbane, while 2 are round trips back to Fremantle. If your voyage ends in Sydney or Brisbane, a domestic flight connects the 2 cities — and our team can book that flight, along with any hotel nights and transfers you need, as part of your holiday. Trips run from 4 nights up to 18, with the typical sailing sitting around 16 nights, giving you a proper coastal crossing rather than a short hop.

The Princess 2027–28 season puts real emphasis on Australia, and Fremantle is a centrepiece of that. Compared with flying to a foreign embarkation port, sailing from your own side of the country — or a single domestic flight away — is a genuinely easier start to a holiday. We can add that flight, a hotel the night before departure, port transfers and travel insurance so the whole trip is sorted in one conversation.

Which ships sail from Fremantle in 2027?

2 Princess ships operate from Fremantle in 2027: Sapphire Princess and Grand Princess. Here is what sets each one apart.

Sapphire Princess

Sapphire Princess carries the bulk of the Fremantle programme, with 6 sailings. She completed a refit in 2025 and now homeports at Fremantle for the 2027–28 season, which means the ship is genuinely set up for this route rather than passing through. The refit brought 2 new specialty restaurants aboard: Crown Grill steakhouse and Makoto Ocean Sushi by Chef Makoto Okuwa, giving you proper dining options on longer coastal crossings. The ship runs MedallionClass® with OceanNow® delivery, so food, drinks and services come to you anywhere on board via a wearable Medallion — no app required, no queue at the bar.

Cabin grades on Sapphire Princess run from compact interiors to an expansive Grand Suite:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.6 m²: positioned on a middle deck for a quieter ride, with central lift access and good stability compared with the lower decks.
• Premium Sea-view cabin O5 — 18.3 m²: a large panoramic window with a bow view gives you natural daylight and a forward outlook that inside cabins can’t match.
• Balcony cabin B2 — 25.7 m²: your own outdoor space and direct sea air, which neither inside nor ocean-view guests have access to.
• Grand Suite S1 — 123.5 m²: the largest suite aboard, with a separate living room and dining area — more than twice the space of a Penthouse suite, sleeping up to 4.

Grand Princess

Grand Princess operates 3 sailings from Fremantle in 2027. She is well known for her specialty dining: Crown Grill has been named one of USA Today’s ‘Best Cruise Steakhouse’ picks, and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria rounds out the specialty lineup. Like Sapphire Princess, she runs MedallionClass OceanNow delivery, bringing food, drinks and services to wherever you are on the ship. Movies Under the Stars® — a giant poolside screen with free popcorn and blankets provided — features on voyages from Brisbane and Sydney toward the Reef.

Cabin grades on Grand Princess follow a similar structure:

• Inside cabin IA — 14.9 m²: middle-deck position with minimal ship motion and easy access to lifts and facilities.
• Premium sea view O3 — 19.1 m²: floor-to-ceiling panoramic window with an unobstructed sea view and natural light directly into the cabin.
• Premium Balcony cabin B2 — 25.5 m²: floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors open onto your private balcony, giving more natural light and an open feel compared with standard balcony grades.
• Grand Suite S1 with private hot tub — 67.8 m²: the largest suite on board at approximately 67.8 m², with considerably more space than every other suite category and a private hot tub on the balcony.

What fare options does Princess Cruises offer from Fremantle?

Princess operates 2 main fare tiers on these sailings, with a third available depending on the departure.

• Princess Standard: the base cruise fare, covering the voyage itself. The Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages — covering beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities, casual dining and more — are available to add on separately.
• Princess Plus: adds 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 fare tier is included on the majority of sailings and represents solid value if you expect to use the dining and drink inclusions regularly over a longer crossing.

Our Australian cruise experts can talk you through which tier suits your travel style before you commit — call us seven days a week. Prices start from A$970 pp*.

Top routes from Fremantle

All sailings explore the Australian coast, and the shape of the programme means most passengers are doing a proper coastal crossing rather than looping back. The one-way itineraries — finishing in Sydney or Brisbane — are the most popular format, and they suit travellers who want to experience a long stretch of coastline without retracing their route. The 2 round trips back to Fremantle work well if you prefer to return home from the same port, avoiding the need to organise a flight from the east coast.

For anyone planning around Princess Cruises around Australia in 2027, the Fremantle departures are the logical starting point on the western side of the country. If you’re also considering the east coast, Princess Cruises from Sydney in 2027 and Princess Cruises from Brisbane cover those routes.

Are there any discounts on Fremantle cruises in 2027?

A portion of the sailings carry a price reduction against the previously listed price for the same cabin grade on that departure. Reductions reach up to 6% — and on these sailings, 6% off is the typical saving rather than an exceptional outlier. If you see a sailing marked with a reduced price, it reflects a genuine movement in what that specific cabin grade was priced at before, not a comparison against a brochure rate or a different grade entirely. Our team can confirm which departures are showing a reduction when you call.

Why choose Princess from WA?

Sailing from Fremantle is the most straightforward way for Western Australia-based travellers to board a Princess ship — you can drive to the terminal, check in, and be at sea the same day with no international flight at either end. For travellers coming from interstate, Fremantle is a short domestic flight from every major city, which is still a far simpler journey than flying to a foreign port. Either way, cruise deals from Perth and Fremantle are the natural starting point for anyone on the western side of the country.

Princess Cruises is a well-established cruise line for this region, and the decision to homeport Sapphire Princess at Fremantle for the season — rather than positioning her through briefly — means the ship is genuinely set up for these routes, with menus, staffing and onboard programming oriented around the Australian itinerary. The Princess 2026/2027 Australia season built significant demand for these departures, and the 2027 programme continues that momentum. For a broader view of what is sailing around the country this year, the cruise around Australia 2027 page covers all lines.

Make it a complete holiday

Cruise1st is a cruise specialist — every offer is a cruise or a cruise-inclusive package.

We also book tours at port, travel insurance and train connections, as a bundle or a fully custom arrangement. One call, one booking, no loose ends.

Our Australian cruise experts are on the phone seven days a week and are familiar with the Fremantle programme in detail — cabin by cabin, fare tier by fare tier. That is the practical difference between booking direct and booking with a specialist. Cruise1st Packages bring all of these elements together if you want everything sorted at once.
