Region Australia - New Zealand - Pacific Ocean Islands

Local Time 2024-05-10 09:47

Port Fremantle cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Fremantle, Perth, Western Australia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Fremantle port serves as cruise port to Perth - Western Australia's capital city. The city is called "Freo" (by Western Australians) and "Walyallup" (by the indigenous people living between Geraldton and Esperance ). Passenger ferries offer regularly scheduled service between the port and Rottnest Island (at ~ 14 mi / 22 km off of the coast) and also on Swan River to Perth City.

Perth is the 4th most populous Australian city - after Sydney (New South Wales), Melbourne (Victoria) and Brisbane (Queensland) - and followed by Adelaide (South Australia). Trends show that the Australian cruising market is growing at a rapid pace. It has some of the industry's highest penetration rates nationally. The Australian cruise ports' strongest competition today comes from Singapore and Hong Kong (China).

"Project Orient Limited” (POL) plans to build two ocean cruise liners for a regular passenger shipping service between Europe/UK and Australia (Southampton - Sydney NSW). The scheduled itinerary will be 26 days in one direction (Southampton to Sydney, and the reverse Sydney to Southampton). The included ports of call are Fremantle (at the 20-day mark), also Dubai, Mumbai (India) and Singapore. Each of the new ships will be 200,000 GT tons and with capacity 1600 pax. The expected cruise pricing starts from around GBP 2900 per person (one-way).

Fremantle cruise port

Port Fremantle is located at the Swan River's mouth. It is a major part of the Perth City metro area. The cruise ship terminal is located at just 20-min driving distance from Perth City.

The seaport is open the whole year round, but its busiest season is from November to March. The port is a popular stop on around the world voyages. It is also a departure port for port destinations in Asia, UK, South Africa and around Australia. Among the cruise companies visiting Fremantle are Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, P&O Australia, Princess, Royal Caribbean, also Azamara, Crystal, CMV (Cruise and Maritime) and the Australian line Captain Cook Cruises.

For 2014-2015 season, P&O Australia (a Carnival Corporation subsidiary) based in Fremantle Pacific Jewel (1900 pax). This made it the first cruise line to Margaret River wine region (located approx 170 mi / 275 km south of Perth). In November 2015, at the seaport debuted the newly acquired ship Pacific Eden (1500 pax, fka MS Statendam).

Princess Cruises in 2015-2016 for the first time ever started year-round Fremantle homeport operations (roundtrip departures). It doubled company’s Western Australia capacity to over 45,000 (passengers carried between Apr 2015 - Mar 2016). Port Fremantle also enjoyed its first full season with the liner Sun Princess leaving on 11 itineraries (between Oct 2015 - Mar 2016). Among those was the 46-day India and South Africa cruise from Australia (priced from AUD 8840 per person). By the same program, Queensland (Eastern Australia) received its ever-biggest cruise liner presence with 9 months roundtrips from Port Brisbane. The program had scheduled more than 80 departures out of Australian ports ( Sydney , Brisbane , Melbourne , Fremantle) and also from Auckland NZ .

In June 2015 was announced the Western Australia State Government's budget plan to privatize the Fremantle port. The City Council's report said the Perth's cruise ship business of over 100,000 passengers a year is "at a very high risk of being lost in the move to a private port operation". Among the reasons is that current cruise line terminal fees charged by Fremantle Ports are much less than for commercial shipping lines. The privatization is expected to bring between AUD 1,5 and 2 billion, and was part of a plan to ­reduce seaport's debt.

During season 2015-2016, the port handled a total of 58 cruise ships carrying around 152,000 passengers and crew. Cruising industry generates over AUD 275 million for the WA's economy. During the repositioning from Asia to Australia (Singapore to Sydney) in Dec 2016, the Royal Caribbean ship Ovation of the Seas (5000 pax) was scheduled to visit Fremantle as its first ever port of call in Australia.

In May 2017, Western Australia's cruising industry started a decline due to inadequate seaport infrastructure that caused Carnival Corporation to stop homeporting vessels in Fremantle. Following Carnival's decision, by season 2018-2019, WA lost dozens of voyages - season 2016-2017 (60 cruises), season 2017-2018 (43), season 2018-2019 (17). WA economy's loss was estimated at AUD 130 million. Among Carnival's issues were ship access to Broome channel (resulting in limited ashore time), Geraldton (lack of shore tension units), Exmouth (reliable berthing, lack of floating dock).

By year 2020, Western Australia's cruise industry is expected to increase revenues from AUD 118 million (season 2012-2013) to AUD 274,4 million. That means a market growth rate of 5% annually.

In January 2019 was completed the USD 3,25 million refurbishment of Fremantle Passenger Terminal. The renovated cruise terminal features a redesigned lobby, steel-glass canopy, decorative glass paneling (dividing the escalators and within Customs Hall), modern furniture (in the transit area), repainted facade, new signage boards, new digital banners (at building's entrance).

The latter include short one-way cruises between Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Fremantle. Fremantle to Sydney and Fremantle to Melbourne cruises are 7-9-day (relocation) south coastal itineraries with no other ports of call. Rarely are available for booking short cruises from Fremantle to Auckland New Zealand (4-days repositioning) without ports of call along the eastbound route.

Australia to New Zealand cruises out of Fremantle are 17-days one-way (relocation) itineraries with Auckland NZ being the turnaround port and disembarkation in Sydney or Brisbane.

The Fremantle cruise terminal doesn't provide shore-to-ship power (shore-side electricity supply) which could reduce significantly the levels of emissions, noise and vibration in port.

The seaport is accessible the whole year round – 24/7, 365 days a tear. Cruise ships usually arrive in Fremantle in the early morning (at around 4, 5, 6 or 7 am) and depart from Fremantle-Perth in late afternoon or in the evening (at 4, 5, 6 or 8 pm).

Due to requests from cruise lines (based on security reasons and vessel operation procedures), the Fremantle Passenger Terminal is closed to the general public during ship calls. Terminal's 2-story building is of major cultural and historical importance and heritage-listed. It means that all works (maintenance or development) should not destroy or conceal any of its signature elements. The building has a steel frame, with timber parquetry on the second floor and the interior is of hardwood timbers.

Along with the South Quay development project, there is also a plan for new outer harbour in Kwinana (project by Wesport Taskforce). The South Quay waterfront development project also includes building new restaurants and hotels. Refurbishment and construction works are due to be completed in 6 months.

Perth (fremantle) australia port guide.

Once known as Australia’s hidden gem, today Perth is gaining international appeal as a cruise destination. As the capital of Western Australia, Perth is both a sweeping metropolis and a haven for green spaces, home to the famous Bell Tower and the sprawling Kings Park and Botanic Gardens for nature lovers. Nearly two million people live in Perth, and the city and surrounding region manages to be effortlessly cosmopolitan and cool. Whether you’re looking for outdoor activities like stand up paddleboarding or a delicious flat white at one of Perth’s many coffee shops before boarding your Australia cruise , you’re sure to find it here.

Before one of our cruises from Fremantle, take time to explore one of Australia’s best beaches, like Port Beach or Leighton Beach, which are famous for their white sands and Indian Ocean views. Most travelers to this part of Australia can’t miss out on an afternoon (or two) touring the vast Swan Valley wine region, where tastings and cheese-making workshops are favorite activities among both locals and tourists.

Please Note: While we don't currently sail to Perth, you can still discover the beauty of the country on one of our Australia cruises . Browse our luxury cruises to Australia below.

Culture & History of the Perth (Fremantle) Cruise Port

Perth was originally inhabited by the Aboriginal Noongar group for thousands of years prior to colonization by the British in 1829. The Dutch had previously explored the area, too, but considered the soil quality too poor to make a settlement there. Swan River was considered a sacred site by the Noongar people, and the British viewed the river as key to international trade and commerce in the area. In the mid-19th century, the British sent thousands of convicts to live and work here. Perth is affectionately nicknamed the “City of Lights” because in 1962, astronaut John Glenn remarked that he could see the lit-up homes and buildings of Perth during his journey. Today, Perth is the home of nearly two million people, making it the second-most populated area in all of Australia.

Perth (Fremantle) Port Facilities & Location

At this working port, you’ll board cruises from Perth at Victoria Quay. Fremantle is pretty walkable and easy to get to from Perth. If you have time to kill, there’s also a visitor information center accessible via tram.

Transportation in Perth (Fremantle)

There’s no shortage of options for getting around Perth, whether you choose the city’s thoughtfully laid out public transit or want to rent a car before your cruise from Fremantle. Taxis are common, and Uber operates in Perth as well. Transperth is the train system here, and a card to take the metro also applies to Perth’s network of ferries and buses. It’s recommended to taxi to the center of town and walk on foot to major sights from there. Getting to Fremantle to board your cruise ship is about a 15-minute train or taxi ride from Perth, so cushion and plan ahead when it comes to boarding your cruise ship.

Shopping Near the Perth (Fremantle) Cruise Port

Fremantle is home to plenty of vintage shops, boutiques, and name-brand stores. Choose from an abundance of eateries and food options in Fremantle before you board your cruise ship, like a famous Australian flat white from one of the coffee shops on Cappuccino Strip in South Terrace. The Fremantle Markets are a must-see as well, where over 150 local vendors display their handmade goods, fashions, jewelry, food items, and more.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

While on cruises from Perth, you’ll use the Australian dollar as the official currency of the country. Carrying cash is recommended, and the city is plentiful in terms of ATMs. Tipping is relatively new to Australia, so there’s a lot of misinformation about when to tip and how much. The best practice for tipping depends on the context. Leave 10% or a little bit of change in cash for taxi drivers, while a 10% tip for restaurant staff and servers for excellent service is more than acceptable. In general, tips are appreciated but not mandatory in most cases.

Body found in search for passenger overboard on Pacific Adventure cruise ship due to arrive in Sydney

A body has been found in a large search operation off the coast of Sydney after a man was reported missing off a cruise ship early Monday.

About 10:30am, officers from the Police Marine Area Command retrieved a body from the water. 

The alarm was raised on the P&O vessel Pacific Adventure about 4am when it was about 10 nautical miles, or 18 kilometres, off Sydney Heads.

The ship was due to dock at White Bay Terminal a few hours later but that was delayed as the search was underway.

NSW Police Marine Commander Joseph McNulty earlier said police were hopeful because one of three emergency life rings that had been deployed had not been retrieved, fuelling hope the man may have latched onto it. 

Swells of 4 to 5 metres hindered efforts of rescue teams, which searched a 60-square-nautical-mile area and used infrared technology to search for the man's heat signature. 

A second cruise ship which was in the area has also joined the search. 

Both ships tried to lower life boats in to the water but had to abort due to the rough conditions. 

Family being cared for onboard

At least three police vessels and a number of tug boats were deployed in the search, alongside the Toll rescue helicopter. 

In a statement, P&O said there were more than 2,600 guests still on board the ship, which has now been cleared to return to port in Sydney. 

"Pacific Adventure's next voyage due to depart White Bay this afternoon has been delayed, with the ship expected to leave later tonight on a four-night voyage to Queensland," it said. 

"We thank guests for their care, understanding and patience on what's been a distressing day for guests and crew.

"Our thoughts are with the family of the guest at this difficult time."

Police have launched an investigation into the death and will prepare a report for the coroner.

Police said rough conditions made search efforts difficult, with crews facing swells up to 5m and 50 to 60km/h winds.

About 10.30am, the body of a man was located in the water and retrieved, police confirmed.

The Pacific Adventure has been cleared by police to return to port, a P&O spokesperson said.

“We thank guests for their care, understanding and patience on what’s been a distressing day for guests and crew,” they said.

“Our thoughts are with the family of the guest at this difficult time.”

NSW Police Marine Area Command led the search as multiple helicopters and tug boats scoured the air and water for the missing man.

Police were using infrared technology to search for the man’s heat signature in cold waters.

Passengers on board the ship described the atmosphere as “tense” and “very sombre” as search efforts unfolded.

7NEWS.com.au understands the ship was hosting an Elvis-themed voyage.

The ship’s next voyage, a four-night cruise to Queensland due to depart White Bay on Monday afternoon, has been delayed till later in the evening.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
