Why sail this route

You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: Sydney over 17 nights, starting in Sydney and finishing in Fremantle, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

The pacing runs to 6 port days and 10 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

The 17 Night Northern Explorer is a 17-night one-way itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess. You board in Sydney and disembark in Fremantle, calling at 6 ports across 1 country along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, Willis Island and 5 more).

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Sydney and home from Fremantle, 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.
