What’s distance & time.

It’s a logistics application created to estimate distances and times between sea routes under particular parameters.

How it works?

You insert your origin and destination and then the system displays data about distances and time estimates from SeaRates database.

What’s the information based on?

Open sources combined with information from various shipping lines and nautical agencies. This information has been collected for over ten years and is regularly updated.

Get your planning under control

Few professional shipping companies are able to answer this question “When will I get my shipment?” to the client’s satisfaction. Our transit time system lets you fill this gap in seconds The clean interface is visually appealing and easy to use. Keeping track of your delivery time is important if you want to provide clients with accurate estimates after order placement. This is what we’ve been doing at SeaRates for many years and are now sharing with the rest of the world!

Distance & Time made simple

Often customers are given a very rough estimate of their delivery. “It will take two to four weeks”, for example, or “it can be delivered by Friday if you place your order in the next 12 hours”. This gives a frame of reference to the customer, but all other things being equal, given a choice between several companies with similar prices, the customer will choose the one with the fastest delivery service. So precise information is always preferred, since it is often necessary to prepare or be personally present for the delivery. Not to mention that properly timing your delivery is crucial to avoid work gaps in production. Save yourself some unwanted trouble by installing our Distance & Times tool to help you compete in the marketplace!

Usually the transport companies integrate the app with Logistics Explorer to also provide customers with instant shipping rates from/to anywhere in the world. It can also be enhanced by Route Planner to also schedule shipments easier and track sea lines

Distance & Time

Make your site better by integrating tools from searates, shipping distance & time calculator.

Distance & Time is web application, which allows to calculate distances and transit time between two points using different modes of transport.

How to Get to Australia without Flying

How to get to Australia without flying? Despite its remote location, it is possible to travel to Australia by ship.

In this guide, I’m going through different ways of traveling to Australia without flying. The guide covers flightless routes to Australia from four different continents:

• America to Australia
• Asia to Australia
• Europe to Australia
• Africa to Australia

In these sections, I’ll explain how to get to Australia without flying on freighters, sailboats, and cruise ships.

1. How to Get from America to Australia without flying

How can i get to australia without flying from america.

To travel from the United States – or other parts of America – to Australia, you need to cross the Pacific. There are many ways to do that.

How long does it take to travel from America to Australia on a ship?

Freighter trips and other cruises from the US West Coast to Australia take around three weeks. A journey from Vancouver, Canada, takes a week longer.

I have answered this question more thoroughly in my article “ How Long Does It Take a Cargo Ship to Cross the Pacific “.

And what about sailing?

According to Life of Sailing , sailing from California to Australia takes around 45-60 days. You can expect a similar duration if you start your trip in Central America.

Direct sailing from South America to Australia is far less common. As the world spins, the trade winds around the equator – where Central America is located – blow west. If you head further south, you can expect harsher weather and an opposing wind.

Can I travel from America to Australia on a cargo ship?

Yes, you can! Freighter travel is an interesting and nearly CO2 neutral way of travel . Traveling on a cargo ship usually costs around 100-150 US dollars or euros per day. The price includes all meals and accommodation.

To book a freighter cruise, you can contact a freighter travel agency such as Cargo Ship Voyages , FreighterCruises.com , Freighter Travel (NZ) , or Slowtravel .

However, note that the global COVID pandemic has affected freighter travel. At the time of writing (early 2023), many cargo ships were not taking passengers, and I was unable to find available freighter voyages between the two continents.

In the past, though, passengers were able to travel from Oakland, California, to Sydney, Australia, with a stop in New Zealand on the way. The journey took around 25 days and cost ~2600 US dollars or euros.

I know about the route because I’ve used it myself.

I traveled from New Zealand to the United States on a freighter during my mostly flightless 2-year trip around the world . You can read more about that voyage in the blog post “ Crossing the Pacific – My Cargo Ship Travel Experience “.

How can I sail from America to Australia?

I am not a sailor, so I’m relying on information from other sources. For more details, check out the following guides:

• How Long Does it Take to Sail Across the Pacific? (Improvesailing.com)
• How to Sail from California to Australia (Lifeofsailing.com)
• Trans Pacific (World Cruising Wiki)

According to experts, the best time to sail from America to Australia is from February to June. This will help you avoid the cyclone season that runs in the South Pacific from November to April.

Popular starting points in America include the Panama Canal, Puerto Vallarta in Mexico and San Francisco or Los Angeles in California. Parts of the most popular passage are also known as Coconut Milk Run or Pacific Puddle Jump . Crossing the Pacific on a sailboat takes around 10-20 weeks.

Common stops along the way include Hawaii, Fiji, and different island countries of the South Pacific. 

I don’t own a sailboat. What can I do?

Even if you don’t own a sailboat, you can join someone else’s boat to cross the Pacific. Websites such as Find a Crew and CrewSeekers connect captains with crewmates who are willing to work in exchange for the passage.

Especially on such a long journey, many captains prefer people with experience. If you want, you can take a sailing course or try a shorter trip before the larger undertaking. You can also try splitting your journey into multiple parts.

Can I travel from America to Australia on a cruise ship?

Yes, you can travel from America to Australia on a cruise ship. At the time of writing, the website Seascanner listed 22 cruises from the Americas to Australia . However, some of those cruises depart from Hawaii or take a detour in Asia.

A vast majority of the cruises departed from the United States. Three cruises start their voyage in Vancouver, Canada. Only one of the available cruises departs from South America. The MSC Magnifica cruise ship begins its journey from Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the east coast of South America.

That journey takes 51 days and costs over 12,000 dollars. If possible, you could save time and money by joining the cruise later in South America. The most direct cruises from America to Australia take 21-26 days.

Is going on a cruise better than flying?

If you avoid flying for environmental reasons, you should know that cruises tend to cause more emissions than flights . If you’re worried about the carbon footprint of your travels, you may consider compensating the damage.

Carbon offsetting isn’t very effective , so it’s better to support initiatives suggested by Giving Green instead. For example, you can donate 10% of your ticket price to a high-impact organization.

2. How to Travel from Asia to Australia by Ship

Can i get to australia on a ship from asia.

Yes, you can. If you want to get to Australia from another continent without flying, Asia is the closest point of departure for ships and boats. Still, traveling from Asia to Australia on a ship is not as simple as one might hope.

Are there any direct ferries from Asia to Australia?

If you look at the map, you’ll notice that parts of Indonesia, Timor Leste and Papua New Guinea are fairly close from the northern coast of Australia.

Darwin, the capital city of Australia’s Northern Territory, lies only 600 kilometers (~400 miles) away from Timor Leste. The distance between Papua New Guinea’s capital, Port Moresby, and the northernmost point of mainland Australia is 500 kilometers (~300 miles).

But despite some short distances, there are no regular ferries from Asia to Australia. There are many logical reasons for this.

First of all, Australia’s Northern Territory and the closest parts of Southeast Asia are not very densely populated or popular with tourists. With little interaction, there is no reason for ferries in the area. Australia’s tight border control may have an impact, too.

Can I travel from Bali to Australia on a boat? 

The island of Bali, Indonesia, is popular with Australian tourists and other travelers. Still, there are no direct ferries between Bali and Australia.

Here’s an example of an online thread where someone asks about flightless connections between Indonesia and Australia. As an answer, they got over 60 replies with tons of trolling and ridicule but very little help. You can take that as a no.

However, some cruises from Asia to Australia make a stop in Bali. I’ve written more about these cruises at the end of this section. 

If you’re very lucky, you might be able to find a sailboat on Findacrew.net that you could join. Armin from easybackpacker.com did this in 2012. According to him, the journey takes around two weeks.

If you’re not strictly flightless but want to minimize flying, you can catch a plane from Bali or to Darwin. This is what I did during my trip around the world. For an even shorter flight, take a direct 700 kilometer flight from Dili in Timor Leste to Darwin.

How can I travel from Darwin to other parts of Australia?

From Darwin, you can continue your journey on Greyhound long-distance coaches or The Ghan train service . Just note that the distances from Darwin are very, very long.

A coach trip from Darwin to Alice Springs in Central Australia – and close to Uluru – takes 18 hours. If you continue your journey to Adelaide in South Australia, the ride takes twice as long.

The touristy Ghan train offers a more comfortable yet slower and more expensive journey: it takes three days and two nights to travel from Darwin to Adelaide on rails.

Traveling from Indonesia to Australia by sea is very difficult. Luckily there are other ways to reach Australia without flying.

Som how can I get to Australia without flying from Asia?

To travel from Asia to Australia without flying, you have three basic options: cargo ships, cruises, and boats. All methods work, but don’t be surprised by the long travel times – most ships arrive in the big cities in the east of Australia, increasing the distance.

Traveling from Asia to Australia on a cargo ship

If you want to leave Asia on a freighter, Singapore is one of the best starting points. Still, it is not the only one, and you can hop on a freighter to Australia in my ports on the Pacific coast of Asia. Here are a few possible routes:

• Singapore to Fremantle (Western Australia), 9 days, ~1100 euros
• Singapore to Brisbane, 13 days, ~1700 euros
• Osaka (Japan) to Melbourne, 23 days, ~3000 euros

The fastest freighters from Asia to Australia take around 9-12 days. Most freighters make several stops in Asia and Australia, allowing you to extend your trip on both ends. On average, freighter trips cost 100-150 US dollars or euros per day, including meals and your own cabin.

Cruises from Asia to Australia

And of course, cruise ships also venture from Asia to Australia. Out of the 16 cruises that I found , 15 leave from Singapore. The last one leaves from the Philippines. The fastest cruises from Singapore to Australia take a bit more than a week with prices starting from 2,000 euros.

However, some of these cruises stop in Bali and Jakarta, Indonesia, along the way. If hopping on board in the middle of the cruise is possible, One could travel from Bali to Perth, Western Australia, in as little as four days.

Sailing from Asia to Australia

Joining a sailboat to travel from Asia to Australia is an option too. However, it is not the most common route. Popular ports of departure might include Singapore and Bali.

At the time of writing, only one crew on Findacrew.net was looking for crewmembers to sail from Asia to Australia. In that case, they were traveling from Phuket, Thailand, to Australia as a part of their world tour.

In 2011, Armin from Easybackpacker.com wrote a short guide about traveling from Asia to Australia on a boat. He was finally able to do it himself, although he makes it clear that finding such boats isn’t as easy as one might hope.

3. How to Get from Europe to Australia without Flying

Can i take a ship from europe to australia.

Yes, you can – though it is a long journey. A freighter journey from London to Melbourne takes 45 days and costs 4,500-6,000 euros. For a shorter journey, you can hop aboard in Italy or somewhere else around the Mediterranean. Such change can save over two weeks of travel time – and cut the costs by over 30 %.

What about sailing from Europe to Australia?

That’s an option, too, though it’s a long way. In that case, you’d most likely sail across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, cross the Panama Canal and finally sail across the Pacific. Here’s one story about such a journey. Sailing from Europe to Australia this way would require a minimum of two months.

And are there any cruises from Europe to Australia?

Yes, there are! At the time of writing, Seascanner lists 11 cruises from Europe to Australia . These cruises leave from England, Germany, and Spain. The shortest journeys take about a month and cost around 8,000 euros or US dollars per cabin.

Can I go from Europe to Australia through Asia or America?

Yes, of course. In that case, you can start with one of my two other flightless travel guides:

• How to Get from Europe to America by Ship
• How to Get from Europe to Asia by Train (+ More Flightless Routes)

Those two guides offer ideas for the first leg of the trip. After reaching your continent of choice, you can continue your journey as described in the first parts of this travel guide.

4. How to Get to Australia without Flying from Africa

How to get to australia without flying from africa.

It is possible to get from Africa to Australia on a boat or a ship. However, such journeys are not very popular. In most cases, it’s better to start your journey in South Africa.

Here’s more information about sailing routes, cruises and freighter routes from Africa to Australia.

How to sail from Africa to Australia

To sail from Africa to Australia, you need to cross the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately the trade winds near the equator work against you as they push from east to west. Because of this, it’s best to start in southern Africa and sail a southern – and colder – route.

The World Cruising Wiki has some more information about sailing from South Africa to Australia.

Are there any cruises from Africa to Australia?

There are not many cruises from Africa to Australia. Website Seascanner lists two cruises from Africa to the Land Down Under. The cruises start in Cape Town and reach Perth in Western Australia in seven days. Cabins start at around 4,700 euros.

Traveling from Africa on a freighter

It might be possible to take a cargo ship voyage from Africa to Australia. However, there’s little information available about such journeys. If any voyages are available, they would most likely leave from Cape Town or Durban in South Africa.

The container ship I mentioned in the European section above makes stops in Egypt, Mauritius, and Réunion. However, no embarking is allowed on Egypt, and the island nations of Mauritius and Réunion are far away from continental Africa.

You can, however, reach Australia with a combination of a cruise and a freighter. According to some sources , a cruise from Cape Town to Mauritius takes four days if available. From Mauritius, you can take a freighter to Australia and reach Sydney in 15 days.

How to Get to Australia without flying

In this guide, I have explained how to get to Australia without flying from different parts of the world. The ocean travel guide is not comprehensive, and it’s based on multiple online sources. Some of the information might be outdated or wrong, so check the facts before you go.

I haven’t listed all possible routes to Australia. Most importantly, I didn’t write full sections about departing from New Zealand and Oceania. Here are short summaries about these routes:

Traveling from New Zealand and Oceania to Australia by Boat

There haven’t been frequent passenger ferries between Australia and New Zealand since the 1960s. Luckily cruises , sailboats and freighters travel between the nations.

In the case of Oceania, you might be able to hitch a ride on a sailboat if you place a message on the notice board of a local sailing club. I did this in the Royal Suva Yacht Club in Fiji, and I was offered a journey to Australia.

(Unfortunately I was heading to New Zealand, so I had to pass the offer.)

Simple Ways on How to Ship a Parcel from Singapore to Australia

Ship from Singapore to Australia in 1-4 days*

The thought of sending a parcel to Australia can at first seem like an intimidating process, especially since it observes strict border controls. While customs documents and full and accurate details on your commercial invoice are a must, you also need a trustworthy courier service to transfer your shipments safely. 

If you are new to  international shipping  and are planning on shipping from Singapore to Australia, then we are here to help you. We, at DHL Express, guarantee the maximum safety of your shipment with an efficient process of delivery without damaging any contents within it.

Here’s a handy to-do list for you to follow if you are to send a parcel from Singapore to Australia. 

Important Customs rules you need to know for Australia

• All inbound shipments containing foodstuff must contain an accurate goods description of the mentioned foodstuff.  
• Vague descriptions such as "snacks" or "food" are not acceptable. Moreover, foodstuffs that are not commercially manufactured, labelled, or packaged will be seized by quarantine.  
• Herbal or nutritional supplements must contain the full name/s of the product/s along with the ingredients list on the commercial invoice. Failure to comply will lead to clearance delays.  
• Honey imported into Western Australia has additional quarantine needs. All quantities of baby formula (milk powder) must have an import permit and Health Certificate to satisfy the Australian quarantine requirements. (Note: Baby formula ex India is prohibited in Australia). A declaration showing the full ingredients list is required for all food products. 

Alcoholic beverages

• For alcoholic beverages, specific brands or product names must not be used as the description of the goods on the waybill or invoice. For instance, "Johnnie Walker" instead of the general commodity being "Whiskey." Australian Border Force levies heavy penalties for false or ambiguous declarations of goods coming into the country.  Incoterm DDP  is preferred to avoid clearance delays.  
• Any shipment that contains more than 1 litre of alcohol or wine or weighs more than 1kg will be stopped for import foods inspection and examined at a certain cost.   
• As of October 1st, 2019, the Imported Foods section of the Department of Agriculture & Water Resources (DAWR) has changed the requirements for any alcohol or wine shipments being imported into Australia. Firstly, the shipper needs to provide a Shipper’s declaration on company letterhead including the following details: a) Date b) HAWB Number c) Name of the product d) Lot codes or batch numbers e) Exact quantities f) Person’s name, company title, and signature.  Secondly, the receiver needs to provide an Importers Declaration on the importers' letterhead including the following details: a) Date b) HAWB number-entry number c) Name/s of product d) Quantiles, lot codes, or batch numbers e) Person’s name, company title, and signature f) End use of the wine/alcohol i.e. private consumption, sample or commercial evaluation, sale, etc.
• If you’re importing seeds, then know that Australian quarantine has strict Biosecurity requirements on “High-Risk Plant Products”. Further information can be found here:  https://www.agriculture.gov.au/pests-diseases-weeds/plant/khapra-beetle/urgent-actions
• If you’re shipping cosmetics, then lead content within any commodity must be declared.

Drugs (in pharmacy without prescription)

For drugs in pharmacy, an Australian prescription is required for private person shipments for pharmaceuticals. If the receiver is unable to obtain one, then the goods may be seized by ABF. If there is more than a three-month supply for a private person, they need to have a TGA import permit before the goods are sent. Shipper or recipient to pay the quarantine processing fee AUD 47.30 min.

To-do list to send a parcel from Singapore to Australia

The  air waybill (AWB)  is an essential requirement whenever you are importing any package to Australia. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service requires complete and correct commercial invoices and other supporting documents with a clearly stated reason for your export. The invoice is then used to clear customs. Moreover, all shipments require the consignee’s contact phone number and email address.

Invoices must include:

• Receiver and shipper details, the quantity of goods, the full description of goods (not just part numbers/code numbers) e.g. 100% Cotton T-Shirt.  
• Specific brands and/or product names must NOT be used as the description of the goods on the waybill or label. Example "Captain Black" instead of the general commodity being "Cigars".  
• Australian Customs and Quarantine has heavy penalties in place for the false (or ambiguous) declaration of goods coming into the country. 

Therefore, make sure that you note down the accurate information about the contents of the shipment, including what is indicated on your AWB. This will prevent delays or shipment damage at Australian customs.

For instance, if you are shipping animal skins to Australia, then distinctly mention it on your shipping invoice. It’s because raw hides and skins are treated with gamma radiation upon arrival in Australia. Please note that fumigation certificates supplied from the origin country will not be accepted.

After you’ve successfully created your shipping invoice, start packing your own parcel. Whatever the commodity is, the responsibility of packaging your shipment solely relies on you. The final step is arranging your shipment collection. Simply call  DHL customer service  and inform them about the specific time and date of pickup. Another way is you can plan for a pickup from  MyDHL +  shipping tool or drop it off at your nearest  DHL Express retail store .

Advantages of using DHL Express

By knowing which items you will be allowed to ship to Australia, you will do yourself a huge favor and save your shipment from clearance delays. And because there are certain products that are strictly prohibited for shipment, using DHL’s Express shipping service will help you simplify the process. Plus, it takes care of the customs clearance and completion of declarations on your behalf.

Here are some of its top advantages:

• Its door-to-door shipping service makes  international shipping  easy
• DHL’s wide range of services and network covers 220 territories across the globe
• Thanks to MyDHL+,  MyBill , and  ODD (On-Demand Delivery) , the shipping process is made much easier and safer
• Real-time updates about the shipment’s clearance statuses are readily given to customers
• The package collection time is as per your choice
• With the help of DHL’s flexible delivery options, now customers can decide the time and place of their shipment delivery
