Cruise

Fremantle is one of Australia’s most important cruise ship ports. Cruising is one of the most popular and fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry worldwide. Fremantle Ports works with cruise and tourism bodies and other ports to promote Fremantle and Western Australia’s attractions to cruise companies.

Fremantle Passenger Terminal

All visiting cruise ships berth at the Fremantle Passenger Terminal, Australia's largest cruise terminal, or at D Berth. The terminal has undergone significant upgrading in recent years. The work is respectful of the heritage significance of this Victoria Quay landmark and has improved security and visitor amenity.

Check out the cruise ship schedule. Be at the port about 30 minutes before arrival times so you can see the ship enter the harbour. Best viewing places are along Victoria Quay and at North and South moles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to the Fremantle Passenger Terminal?

When cruise ships are in port the car park is open for passenger pick-up and drop-off. Public transport is nearby at the Fremantle Train Station and bus terminal. For turnaround cruises (where passengers are disembarking from the ship or joining a cruise) there is a free shuttle bus service that operates between the Fremantle Train Station and the Fremantle Passenger Terminal on a continuous circuit (about every 20 minutes) from an hour after the ship has berthed to 4pm. Walking to/from the train station with luggage takes about 20 minutes. Please note the pedestrian bridge from the train station to the terminal is no longer accessible. You can use taxis and ride-sharing services. Shuttle companies offer direct rides between the terminal and Perth Airport domestic and international terminals.
