Itinerary

Departs: 6:00 PM

There are two dedicated cruise passenger terminals - the White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay in the city centre. This is your opportunity to marvel at Australia’s famous icons, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you glide past The Heads - the dramatic sandstone cliffs at the entrance of the harbour.

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 9:00 AM Departs: 9:00 PM

Melbourne’s vibrant character shines through its eclectic mix of architecture, culture, and green spaces. Stroll through Federation Square, where contemporary art and historic buildings collide, or explore the street art in hidden laneways like Hosier Lane. For a taste of local flavors, the Queen Victoria Market offers fresh produce and handmade goods. Don’t miss the Royal Botanic Gardens, a peaceful escape near the city’s core.

Add a new twist or two to your dance moves with a wide variety of fun classes like country line dancing, ballroom, salsa, and more. Get your heart pumping with a high energy Zumba class or take your sweetheart for a spin on one of our pulsating night clubs.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 4:00 PM

Adelaide combines the charm of a picturesque country town with lively cosmopolitan offerings. Downtown is compact and easily walkable, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, superb Victorian and Edwardian architecture, tranquil parks and the highest number of restaurants per capita of any city in Australia. Ships will dock at the Outer Harbor of Port Adelaide.

Top Things to Do in Adelaide:

  • visit a Barossa Valley winery
  • spend time in Historic Hahndorf
  • take a Spirit Of The Coorong Cruise
  • visit the Adelaide Central Market

There’s no better way to experience a place than through its food. So you’ll find regional flavors all around you on board, favorite recipes chefs brought from home or discovered along the way. Think curries from India and homemade pasta from Italy. Seafood in Alaska and street tacos in Mexico. We don’t just say "authentic" we serve it.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Perth, the sunniest capital city in Australia, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication. Start your day with a stroll through Kings Park and Botanic Garden, where you'll enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline and the Swan River. The park's diverse flora and tranquil walking trails provide a refreshing escape from the bustling city.

Explore the Perth Cultural Centre, home to the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Western Australian Museum, which showcase indigenous and contemporary art and artifacts. For a unique experience, visit the Swan Bells at Barrack Square, a set of 18 bells that you can ring yourself. End your day with a sunset visit to Cottesloe Beach, famous for its golden sands and clear waters.

Port:Fremantle

Ships dock at the Fremantle Cruise Passenger Terminal, which is just a short 15-minute walk from the town centre and approximately a 30-minute drive from Perth. Discover the bustling Fremantle Markets, offering local crafts, fresh produce, and eclectic eateries, or stroll along the iconic Cappuccino Strip for a taste of the city's lively atmosphere. Explore the historic Fremantle Prison, a UNESCO World Heritage site that received its first ship of convicts on 1 June 1850. For a scenic adventure, take a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island, home to adorable quokkas and pristine beaches.

Original musicals, dazzling magic shows, feature films, top comedians, and nightclubs that get your feet movin' and groovin' - there’s something happening around every corner, and you have a whole cruise of days and nights to experience it all.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, serves as the vibrant heart of the island with its bustling streets and diverse cultural fabric. The city is a treasure trove of history and culture, as seen in the Caudan Waterfront, with its shops and eateries, and the Blue Penny Museum, which preserves the island's colonial and maritime history. The bustling Central Market offers a taste of local life with its colourful stalls selling tropical fruits, spices, and handcrafted goods.

Nestled against a majestic mountain backdrop, Port Louis also features stunning natural scenery. The nearby Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere, showcases giant water lilies and rare species of plants, providing a tranquil escape from the urban energy.

It’s no surprise The Shops are awarded “Best Onboard Shopping” from Porthole magazine year after year. You’ll find fine merchandise from brands like Swarovski, Chanel, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lancôme, Calvin Klein, Citizen and Tissot, plus local crafts, keepsakes and souvenirs. Venues vary by ship and are subject to change.

Arrives: 7:00 AM

Fabulous Cruise 1 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
We travelled on the Crown Princess to the Pacific Islands and New Zealand in May 2025. We booked it through Global Journeys as we have done on a few occasions. Georgie was our agent again and as usual she was so helpful and efficient. The vibe on the ship was great. All the passengers were really friendly and the crew were fantastic, in fact I would read more have to say it would have to be the best crew we have encountered in a long time. They were really friendly, helpful and a lot of them had a great sense of humour. We have travelled on quite a few Princess ships and they have always been great. Would highly recommend Princess Cruises and Global Journeys.
Accessible Stateroom 1 , SA, Australia, Mar 2025
The Crown Princess is a large Ship with 3,080 passengers. Because of my need to use a mobility scooter, it was mandatory to have an Accessible Stateroom. These Staterooms are so much larger; the bathroom is large with a large walking shower and plenty of grab rails to hold for safety. The ship is easy to get around on these small traveling scooters. read more The food was first class in both the Dining Room and the Horizoncourt. The crew is always very good and attentive to all your needs. The show was very enjoyable and had a full audience every night. A beautiful ship for a very enjoyable cruise.
Southern Australia Explorer 1 , NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
Very Happy with the service received. Princess Cruises are good value and most enjoyable. Will definitely book my next cruise with Global Journeys. Highly Recommended.
Better than we had hoped 3 , New Zealand, Dec 2024
Wow, first time on a cruise and I have to say, it was fantastic. Princess made everything really easy, walking up anywhere for a drink or food, they were able to identify you. All of the staff were fantastic and friendly. The food, accommodation, drinks and entertainment on board really did exceed my expectations. Thanks for a great trip team!
Cruise Southern Australia 1 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Booking online with Georgie has aways been a delight. She is very attentive to our wants and needs. Responding with alternatives and giving us options. Our trip went without any issues and we enjoyed exploring different cities throughout our journey. Thank you for support and will definitely book through you again.
First Cruise 6 , New Zealand, Oct 2024
We both loved the cruise. Highlights included, meeting nice people, the food and more food. My partner couldn't get away from his job 😂 logs at every port. The entertainment was great and movie under the stars 🤩 Room was cleaned twice a day. Staff super helpful.
