Perth (fremantle) australia port guide.

Once known as Australia’s hidden gem, today Perth is gaining international appeal as a cruise destination. As the capital of Western Australia, Perth is both a sweeping metropolis and a haven for green spaces, home to the famous Bell Tower and the sprawling Kings Park and Botanic Gardens for nature lovers. Nearly two million people live in Perth, and the city and surrounding region manages to be effortlessly cosmopolitan and cool. Whether you’re looking for outdoor activities like stand up paddleboarding or a delicious flat white at one of Perth’s many coffee shops before boarding your Australia cruise , you’re sure to find it here.

Before one of our cruises from Fremantle, take time to explore one of Australia’s best beaches, like Port Beach or Leighton Beach, which are famous for their white sands and Indian Ocean views. Most travelers to this part of Australia can’t miss out on an afternoon (or two) touring the vast Swan Valley wine region, where tastings and cheese-making workshops are favorite activities among both locals and tourists.

Please Note: While we don't currently sail to Perth, you can still discover the beauty of the country on one of our Australia cruises . Browse our luxury cruises to Australia below.

Culture & History of the Perth (Fremantle) Cruise Port

Perth was originally inhabited by the Aboriginal Noongar group for thousands of years prior to colonization by the British in 1829. The Dutch had previously explored the area, too, but considered the soil quality too poor to make a settlement there. Swan River was considered a sacred site by the Noongar people, and the British viewed the river as key to international trade and commerce in the area. In the mid-19th century, the British sent thousands of convicts to live and work here. Perth is affectionately nicknamed the “City of Lights” because in 1962, astronaut John Glenn remarked that he could see the lit-up homes and buildings of Perth during his journey. Today, Perth is the home of nearly two million people, making it the second-most populated area in all of Australia.

Perth (Fremantle) Port Facilities & Location

At this working port, you’ll board cruises from Perth at Victoria Quay. Fremantle is pretty walkable and easy to get to from Perth. If you have time to kill, there’s also a visitor information center accessible via tram.

Transportation in Perth (Fremantle)

There’s no shortage of options for getting around Perth, whether you choose the city’s thoughtfully laid out public transit or want to rent a car before your cruise from Fremantle. Taxis are common, and Uber operates in Perth as well. Transperth is the train system here, and a card to take the metro also applies to Perth’s network of ferries and buses. It’s recommended to taxi to the center of town and walk on foot to major sights from there. Getting to Fremantle to board your cruise ship is about a 15-minute train or taxi ride from Perth, so cushion and plan ahead when it comes to boarding your cruise ship.

Shopping Near the Perth (Fremantle) Cruise Port

Fremantle is home to plenty of vintage shops, boutiques, and name-brand stores. Choose from an abundance of eateries and food options in Fremantle before you board your cruise ship, like a famous Australian flat white from one of the coffee shops on Cappuccino Strip in South Terrace. The Fremantle Markets are a must-see as well, where over 150 local vendors display their handmade goods, fashions, jewelry, food items, and more.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

While on cruises from Perth, you’ll use the Australian dollar as the official currency of the country. Carrying cash is recommended, and the city is plentiful in terms of ATMs. Tipping is relatively new to Australia, so there’s a lot of misinformation about when to tip and how much. The best practice for tipping depends on the context. Leave 10% or a little bit of change in cash for taxi drivers, while a 10% tip for restaurant staff and servers for excellent service is more than acceptable. In general, tips are appreciated but not mandatory in most cases.

Have the Time of Your Life with Boutique Cruises from Perth! ★★★★★

We had an awesome day trip with our family of 4. The boat was fantastic with great facilities, and the crew were awesome. We would highly recommend these guys for a trip, or even snorkeling or scuba diving.

What a fantastic day and how to begin... Upclose to the freighters leaving the Freo Harbour, surrounded by dolphins, swam with the seals at rotto, saw the quokkas on a great island walk, great lunch, beautiful bays and saw some endemic corals surrounded by vibrant kelps. Spectacular day, and the crew were amazing.

Awesome fun, organised, professional service. Clean, comfortable, well stocked boat to make the day run smoothly. Organise your next snorkel trip through Bucket List Diver / Boutique cruises

If you want to visit Rotto do it with Bucket List! From the moment you get on the boat you'll be having so much fun.

Boats & Ferries

Flowing through the heart of the Perth city, the beautiful Swan River is a popular natural attraction for locals and visitors to enjoy a day out boating, fishing and picnicking.

For the best experience on the water, take advantage of the number of exciting boat and ferry options available.

Catch the Perth Ferry to South Perth

Transperth offers a ferry from Perth to South Perth leaving from the Elizabeth Quay Ferry Terminal. You can cross to South Perth in approx. 10 minutes to visit the Perth Zoo and delight in the views of Perth city from the South Perth foreshore.

You can also catch a ferry to Optus Stadium with Captain Cook Cruises or the Little Ferry Co. Escape the crowds on the way to the game, and take it slow by catching a ferry to the game. Both ferry operators provide a different experience. Captain Cook Cruises leaves from Barracks St Jetty or South Perth (your choice) taking advantage of the beautiful river and amazing jetty facilities at the stadium. Choose from a convenient transfer on the River Cat or combine it with an amazing meal at the Reveley and a VIP entry to the Camfield. The Little Ferry Co. provide game day ferry’s, specialising in groups from 6 to 12 guests leaving from Elizabeth Quay. You can even BYO snacks and beverages. 

Private Cruises

For a ferry experience with a difference, Captain Cook Cruises offer a wide range of cruise options from Perth to the Port City of Fremantle or upstream, towards the magnificent Swan Valley wine region.

Boat Moorings in Elizabeth Quay

Recreational boaties can cruise into Elizabeth Quay and park in one of the 24 short stay boat moorings, which are available for public use. While you’re there stop for a drink at The Reveley Bar, grab a bite to eat at V Burger or treat yourself to some delicious Gusto ice cream.

Gondolas in Perth
