Cruises from Singapore to Sydney

Singapore to Sydney cruises: what’s on offer

A cruise from Singapore to Sydney is one of the great one-way ocean voyages — trading the tropics of South East Asia for the harbour cities of Australia over a voyage that typically runs around 21 nights, with options ranging from 13 to 29 nights at sea. All 16 sailings are one-way, departing from Singapore and arriving in Sydney, so you arrive at the other end ready to explore — a short domestic flight connects you back home to whichever Australian state you started from. CruiseAway can book that flight, any hotels either side, and your transfers, all on one itinerary.

Where does a Singapore to Sydney cruise go?

The route from Singapore to Sydney is not a single fixed track — cruise lines take different paths, and the regions you sail through depend on the line and the ship you choose. Australia dominates the sailing calendar for this route, with the great majority of departures calling at Australian ports along the way before arriving in Sydney. A good number of sailings also spend meaningful time in South East Asia, exploring the waters between Singapore and Australia before heading south. For those drawn further afield, at least one sailing incorporates Japan into the route, making it a longer and more ambitious voyage across multiple regions.

If Sydney is your finish line but you want more sea days in Australian waters, the cruise around Australia 2027 page is worth a look alongside these Singapore departures.

Which cruise lines sail from Singapore to Australia?

Several of the world’s most respected cruise lines operate this route, giving you a real choice of style and budget. Norwegian Cruise Line has the most departures on this route. Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises both sail it in strength as well. For a more intimate experience, Azamara offers 2 sailings aboard a boutique ship with just 777 guests. At the luxury end, Regent Seven Seas Cruises brings its all-inclusive style to the voyage. Our DreamAway Packages wrap selected sailings together with flights, hotels and transfers — worth exploring if you want everything sorted in one go.

What are the ships sailing from Singapore to Sydney?

Norwegian Spirit — Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Spirit is a mid-sized ship with a genuinely relaxed feel — no fixed dining times, no formal dress codes. Adults looking for some sun and sea between ports will appreciate Spice H2O, the ship’s open-air beach club where cocktails flow and the sea breeze does the rest. When you’re ready to eat, you can dine whenever you like at Cagney’s Steakhouse or Le Bistro, then catch a live show in the Stardust Theatre. It’s your cruise, on your schedule.

Cabin grades on Norwegian Spirit run from inside to suite:

• Family Inside cabin I4 — 13.8 m², sleeps up to 4, a practical choice for groups wanting flexibility
• Deluxe Sea-view cabin O3 — 26.7 m², sleeps 3, the largest sea-view grade on board and nearly twice the space of a standard ocean-view cabin
• Balcony cabin BA — 15.9 m², sleeps 3, with your own private balcony and sea view
• Owner’s Suite SB — 56.2 m², sleeps 2, the most spacious suite on board with a separate bedroom, living and dining area, and a walk-in wardrobe

Celebrity Solstice — Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Solstice was freshly revitalised in 2026, with brand-new restaurants, redesigned staterooms and updated outdoor spaces. Days at sea here might be spent on the Lawn Club or watching live concerts at Sunset Park, while evenings can lead to Dueling Pianos or a theatrical dining experience with Le Petit Chef’s 3D animated show. An AquaClass cabin gives you exclusive spa and restaurant access on top of everything else.

Cabin options on Celebrity Solstice:

• Inside cabin I1 — 17.0 m², sleeps up to 4, on higher decks with shorter routes to pools and bars
• Panoramic Ocean-view cabin PN — 22.7 m², sleeps 4, with floor-to-ceiling glass offering an extended field of view
• Deluxe Veranda DV — 19.1 m², sleeps 5, approximately 1 m² larger than standard balcony cabins at a lower price point than larger veranda grades
• Penthouse Suite PS — 156.1 m², sleeps 4, with a private hot tub and more than 4 times the space of a standard balcony cabin

Celebrity Edge — Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Edge is built around the idea that the boundary between ship and sea should barely exist. The Magic Carpet — a cantilevered platform suspended 16 storeys above the ocean — serves as a restaurant, bar and event space with nothing between you and the horizon. Open your Infinite Veranda wide every morning and let the sea air and Sydney sunrise into the cabin. Eden, a 3-storey living garden space at the stern, hosts live performers who appear from unexpected corners of the room.

Azamara Pursuit — Azamara

If you want to actually spend time in a port rather than just pass through it, Azamara Pursuit is worth your attention. With overnight and late-night stays built into the itinerary, you have time to see a place properly after the other ships have left. With just 777 guests on board, the crew knows your name by day two. Your fare includes a private cultural evening ashore — think symphony concerts or vineyard dinners, exclusive to Azamara guests.

Cabin grades on Azamara Pursuit:

• Inside cabin 09 — 14.7 m², sleeps 2, with no window for constant darkness and quiet between excursions
• Ocean-view cabin 04 — 13.3 m², sleeps 3, with a large window providing natural daylight and a direct sea view
• Veranda Plus Ocean-view cabin P1 — 16.3 m², sleeps 3, with a private balcony and fresh sea air
• Club World Owner’s Suite CW — 52.0 m², sleeps 3, the largest cabin on board and more than 3 times the size of a standard veranda grade

Grand Princess — Princess Cruises

Grand Princess is a classic ship that does the everyday things exceptionally well. Order food and drinks anywhere on board using the Princess app — cocktails by the pool, a late snack in your cabin — and the crew will bring it to you without a queue in sight. The adults-only Sanctuary retreat on the top deck gives you sun loungers, light meals and open ocean views when you want to step away from the rest of the ship.

Princess Cruises offers this route in a range of fare tiers. The Standard fare covers the cruise itself, while the Princess Plus package adds beverages up to A$15 each with a daily limit of 15 drinks, 4 casual dining meals per voyage, MedallionNet Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating — a strong value option for most travellers. Explore Princess Cruises’ Australia 2026/2027 season for the full range of sailings.

Marina — Oceania Cruises

Marina carries 1,250 guests and 800 crew — a ratio that makes for attentive, unhurried service that feels closer to a boutique hotel than a large cruise ship. All 6 of the ship’s gourmet restaurants are included in your fare with no surcharges. The on-board cooking school — the only one of its kind at sea — lets you get hands-on with cuisines from the regions you’re sailing through. Cabins are finished in fine timber and rich textiles, with the exclusive Prestige Tranquility bed made specifically for Oceania.

What do Norwegian Cruise Line fares include?

Norwegian Cruise Line offers 3 fare tiers on these sailings. The entry-level Brochure fare is cruise-only, giving you the flexibility to add extras yourself. The Free at Sea tier adds a premium beverage package, a speciality dining package, a Wi-Fi package and shore excursion credits of US$50 per port for the first 2 guests. Free at Sea Plus extends the dining package to cover all guests on the booking and adds further inclusions — the number of speciality dining meals scales with the length of the voyage.

What do Celebrity Cruises fares include?

Celebrity Cruises structures its fares in 3 tiers. Cruise-Only (Best Rate) gives you the lowest fare with the freedom to add what you want. The Best Value tier brings classic drinks and basic Wi-Fi into one price. At the top, The Retreat is Celebrity’s suite-class experience: premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, exclusive lounge and sundeck access, private dining and dedicated personal service — a full resort-style holiday within a holiday.

Are there discounts on Singapore to Sydney cruises?

Some sailings on this route are reduced from their previously listed cabin prices. Discounts reach up to 22% on a single departure, though that maximum applies to just 1 sailing; across the sailings where reductions have been applied, the typical saving is closer to 8% off that cabin grade’s previous price. It is worth checking individual fares, as the availability of reduced rates changes as sailings fill. Our cruise experts can tell you which departures currently have the better reductions.

Is a Singapore to Sydney cruise right for you?

This voyage suits travellers who want a proper long-haul cruise rather than a short break — itineraries run from 13 nights up to 29 nights, with a median around 21 nights. All sailings are one-way, so the practical question is which end is home. If you live in or near Sydney, you arrive back at your home port; if you’re based in another state, a short domestic flight links you up. Either way, CruiseAway can handle the flight, any hotel nights either side, and your transfers as part of the same booking.

More than half of the sailings on this route are all-inclusive or include significant fare packages, so you can budget accurately before you board. If you prefer to keep the base fare low and add extras later, cruise-only fares are also available across several lines.

Thinking about a Sydney to Singapore cruise instead?

The same route in reverse — departing Sydney and arriving in Singapore — is a popular alternative for travellers based in Sydney who would rather start the voyage at home. Browse all cruises departing and arriving between Singapore and Sydney to compare both directions, or take a look at cruise deals from Sydney for the full range of departures from that port.

If you’re drawn to the idea of cruising Australian waters more broadly, the Australian cruise collection covers a wide range of domestic and regional sailings. And if Sydney is your starting point for something further afield, cruises from Sydney to New Zealand are another strong option in this part of the world.

Why book your Singapore to Sydney cruise with CruiseAway?

CruiseAway is a cruise specialist — every booking we make is a cruise or a cruise-inclusive package. Our cruise experts know these ships and these itineraries, and they can help you choose the cabin grade and fare tier that genuinely suits your plans, rather than just the cheapest option on the page. Our Best Price Guarantee backs every booking we make.

Because this is a one-way voyage from Singapore, there is always a flight involved at one end or the other. We can book that flight, a hotel the night before departure, transfers to the port, and insurance, all as part of a single holiday package. That is what our DreamAway Packages are built for: a cruise-inclusive trip where nothing is left to chance. One booking, one team, one less thing to think about.

Where a discount is shown, it is a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing, not a comparison between cabin grades or against a brochure rate. Discounts and prices shown are not kept up to date: the reduction available now may be smaller, or may have ended, and prices may have changed.
