Passenger Terminal facilities

The Passenger Terminal has a café and licensed bar area and public conveniences.

An escalator and lifts are available between the ground floor and upstairs Passenger Terminal area.

Embarkation/disembarkation

The length of time it takes to embark/disembark is entirely dependent upon the size of the ship, and therefore, the number of passengers embarking or disembarking. Cruise ships embark and disembark in a similar fashion to aircraft, that is, in stages.

Ships which are based in Fremantle (those that begin and end cruises in Fremantle) need to disembark all passengers and their luggage, and then clean the ship and reprovision while passengers for the next cruise embark.

Disembarkation of large ships carrying in excess of 2000 passengers and their luggage takes 4-5 hours. A similar length of time is required to embark large ships carrying in excess of 2000 passengers. Smaller ships may take less time to disembark and embark.

Embarkation and disembarkation includes the requirement for passengers to pass through Customs, security and quarantine check points.
