Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: Fremantle over 13 nights, starting in Fremantle and finishing in Sydney, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 7 port days and 10 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

The 13 Night Northern Explorer is a 13-night one-way itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess. You board in Fremantle and disembark in Sydney, calling at 7 ports across 1 country along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Fremantle, Broome, Darwin and 4 more).

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Fremantle and home from Sydney, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 10 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
