Cruise from Singapore to Australia in 2026

Singapore to Australia in 2026: what’s on sale

These are one-way repositioning cruises, every one of them, sailing from Singapore and finishing in Australia — either Sydney or Brisbane. Voyages run between 14 and 18 nights, with most sitting at around 15 nights. Three cruise lines operate sailings: Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and Silversea. Prices start from A$1,701 pp*.

Why choose a Singapore to Australia cruise?

Repositioning cruises fill a practical gap that regular round-trip itineraries never can: you need to get from one city to another and you would rather spend two weeks at sea than three hours in a cabin. These sailings make sense for Australians wrapping up time overseas, travellers combining a Singapore stopover with a voyage home, and anyone who simply wants an unhurried crossing rather than a flight.

Because the cruise departs from Singapore, a short domestic hop connects you to the ship if you are not already in the city — far less travel than a long-haul international flight. If you are based in Sydney or Brisbane, the voyage delivers you home; if you are elsewhere in Australia, a domestic connection at the disembarkation end covers the last leg. Either way, CruiseAway can book the flights, the hotel the night before in Singapore, and any transfers — all on one booking, so no loose ends.

Sailings depart from late October through to the end of December 2026. If you are considering a December sailing, it is worth noting that some voyages arrive in Sydney or Brisbane in time for Christmas in Australia — a genuinely appealing way to arrive for the season.

Which ships are sailing from Singapore to Australia in 2026?

Carnival Luminosa — Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Luminosa is the fun-first option on this route. The ship has a lively, social atmosphere that suits families and groups especially well — think themed deck parties, the Punchliner Comedy Club for live stand-up, and a programme of live music that keeps the evenings moving. Carnival’s food offering covers a wide range of tastes, and the ship’s itinerary finishes in Brisbane.

Cabin grades on Carnival Luminosa run from compact insides to generous suites. Here is how they stack up, from the most affordable to the most spacious:

• Inside cabin 4A — 14 m², sleeps up to 4. Positioned on lower to middle decks where the ride is steadiest. A solid, comfortable base for the crossing.
• Inside cabin with window 4K (obstructed view) — 17 m², sleeps up to 4. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light; the partial obstruction from deck structures makes it more affordable than a full sea-view cabin.
• Balcony cabin with extended balcony 8J — 31 m², sleeps up to 2. The extended balcony gives you around 10 m² more outdoor space than a standard balcony cabin — useful on a 15-night crossing.
• Vista Suite GV — 53 m², sleeps up to 2. At 53–68 m², this is the largest suite category on board, giving you close to three times the space of a standard inside cabin.

Royal Princess — Princess Cruises

Royal Princess is the mid-range to premium choice on this route. The ship is best known for its glass-bottomed SeaWalk, which extends 40 metres above the ocean — nothing between you and the sea below your feet. For quieter moments, The Sanctuary is an adults-only deck retreat with dedicated stewards and open sea views. Evenings bring Movies Under the Stars on deck, duelling pianos at Crooners bar, and a dancing fountain light show.

Princess offers 2 fare tiers worth understanding before you book:

• Princess Standard — the base cruise fare. It covers the sailing itself; drinks, Wi-Fi and dining packages can be added separately.
• Princess Plus — includes 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (up to 15 drinks per day), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating. Good value if you plan to use the bar and the Wi-Fi regularly on a 15-night crossing.

Cabin grades on Royal Princess:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4. The most affordable entry point, with minibar, safe and desk included.
• Sea-view cabin O6 — 20 m², sleeps up to 4. A large panoramic window with a forward-facing ocean view — natural light and a sightline that inside cabins simply cannot offer.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA — 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own private balcony for breakfast or sundowners as the ship crosses open water.
• Penthouse Suite S3 with aft balcony — 54.5 m², sleeps up to 4. The largest cabin on board at approximately 54.5–63.4 m², with significantly more living space than any other grade.

Full details on layout and deck positions are on the Royal Princess cabins and deck plans page. Princess also has a strong broader programme sailing Australian waters — see the Princess Cruises Australia 2026–2027 season launch and the Princess Cruises around Australia 2026 page for more options once you arrive.

Silver Moon — Silversea

Silver Moon is Silversea’s luxury option on this crossing. Every cabin comes with a personal butler as standard, and the all-inclusive fare covers butler-serviced suites, exceptional dining, unlimited wines and spirits, Wi-Fi and onboard gratuities. If you book the All-Inclusive Plus fare, you also gain a Shore Excursion Credit based on voyage length, plus a fully refundable deposit for added peace of mind.

The Silver Moon cabins and deck plans page covers the full suite range, including the Grand Suite G2 — a two-bedroom suite of 174 m² with separate sleeping, living and working areas, sleeping up to 6 guests. For more on the line, visit the Silversea Cruises page.

Make it a holiday

Because every sailing here departs from Singapore, a flight from Australia is part of your journey. CruiseAway can build that into your booking from the start — flights from your home city, a hotel in Singapore the night before you board, transfers between the airport and the ship, and any tours you want along the way. Our DreamAway Packages pull all of that together as one booking, one payment and one team to call if anything changes. You can also add travel insurance through us, so the whole trip is covered.

Our cruise experts are available to help you choose between the 3 lines on this route, match you to the right cabin grade for your budget, and weigh up whether Princess Plus or Standard suits your habits on a 15-night crossing. That guidance is where booking with a specialist makes a real difference over going direct.
