Princess Cruises departing from Fremantle in 2028

What’s sailing from Fremantle with Princess in 2028?

Fremantle’s cruise terminal puts Western Australia at the centre of a genuine range of itineraries. Princess Cruises dominates the 2028 programme here, with sailings spread across Australian coastal routes and a South East Asia departure. Voyages run from 4 nights to 17 nights, with a median of 11 nights — long enough to feel like a proper holiday without burning through all your annual leave at once. If you’d like to see everything available from this port year-round, the full Fremantle cruises page covers all lines and seasons, and the cruise offers and deals from Perth Fremantle page is worth a look for current promotions too.

Where do the sailings go?

The bulk of the 2028 programme from Fremantle stays close to home, exploring Australia’s own coastline. These are the itineraries that suit readers who want to discover what’s on their own doorstep without crossing an ocean to do it — and there are plenty of them. One sailing ventures into South East Asia, making it the standout option for those who want a longer voyage to a more exotic destination. For a full picture of Princess Cruises around Australia in 2028, including options departing other ports, that page covers the broader programme.

Round trips and one-way sailings

It’s worth knowing before you plan that not every sailing returns to Fremantle. 4 of the departures are round trips, finishing back where they started. The other 3 are one-way voyages, ending in Sydney, Brisbane or Singapore. If your sailing finishes in Sydney, a domestic flight connects the two cities easily — and if you’d rather make a break of it, Cruise1st can add hotel nights in Sydney around the voyage. The same applies to Brisbane; for inspiration on what else is departing from there, see cruises from Brisbane. The Singapore-bound sailing is a longer international voyage — our team can arrange the flights home and any hotel nights either side as part of a Cruise1st Package.

Which ships sail from Fremantle with Princess in 2028?

Two Princess ships are assigned to these departures: Sapphire Princess and Grand Princess.

Sapphire Princess

Sapphire Princess carries the majority of the 2028 Fremantle departures. She was refurbished in 2025 and homeports in Fremantle for the 2027–28 season, which means if you live in Perth or Western Australia you can be on board without a single flight. Travellers coming from interstate will find the domestic hop into Fremantle straightforward — far simpler than flying to an overseas port.

The 2025 refit added two new specialty restaurants that are worth knowing about: Crown Grill steakhouse and Makoto Ocean Sushi by Chef Makoto Okuwa. Beyond dining, Sapphire Princess runs MedallionClass® with OceanNow® delivery — a wearable Medallion device (no phone app required) lets you order food, drinks and services to wherever you happen to be on the ship.

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

• Inside cabin IA — 15.6 m², sleeps up to 4. Positioned on a middle deck for a quieter ride and easy lift access throughout the ship.
• Premium Sea-view cabin O5 — 18.3 m², sleeps up to 4. A large panoramic window with a bow view brings in natural daylight and a forward outlook that inside cabins can’t match.
• Balcony cabin B2 — 25.7 m², sleeps up to 4. A private balcony gives you your own outdoor space and direct access to fresh sea air.
• Grand Suite S1 — 123.5 m², sleeps up to 4. The largest suite aboard, with a separate living room and dining area — more than twice the space of a Penthouse suite.

Grand Princess

Grand Princess covers the remaining Fremantle departures. She’s known for two things above most: Crown Grill, which USA Today has named ‘Best Cruise Steakhouse’, and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, which anchors the specialty dining alongside it. Movies Under the Stars® — a giant poolside screen with free popcorn and blankets — is a particular draw on voyages heading to the Reef.

Like Sapphire Princess, Grand Princess runs MedallionClass OceanNow delivery, so food, drinks and services come to you anywhere on the ship via the Princess app. Cabin grades on Grand Princess — full details on the Grand Princess cabins and deck plans page:

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

What do Princess fares include?

Princess offers two main fare tiers on these sailings. Princess Standard is the base cruise fare — it covers your voyage, with the option to add packages for beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities and casual dining. Princess Plus bundles those extras in: 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (up to 15 per day), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating. If you’re the kind of traveller who likes to know your holiday costs up front, Princess Plus is worth considering — our cruise experts can walk you through which tier makes financial sense for the way you cruise.

Are there any discounts available?

Some sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade — up to 8% off on one departure, with discounted sailings also available at similar savings. Our Princess Cruises deals page keeps track of current promotions, and fare types such as last-minute offers and tactical fares appear across the programme. Our Best Price Guarantee means that if you find the same sailing cheaper elsewhere, we’ll match it.

Also sailing from Fremantle in 2028

The 2028 Fremantle programme includes a Silversea departure for those seeking a fully all-inclusive luxury sailing. Silversea’s all-inclusive fares cover butler-serviced suites, exceptional dining, unlimited wines and spirits, onboard gratuities and Wi-Fi as standard — a different style of cruising to Princess, and well worth considering if that level of inclusion appeals.

Thinking about other Princess departures in 2028?

Princess has a wide 2028 programme across Australia. If Fremantle doesn’t suit your travel plans, Princess Cruises from Sydney in 2028 and Princess from Perth year-round are both worth exploring.
