Princess Cruises holidays to Australia and beyond

Discover Princess Cruises in Australia and the Pacific

Princess Cruises sails more itineraries touching Australia than any other single line in this collection, with departures from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth (Fremantle), Adelaide and Melbourne. Voyages run from short coastal sampler sailings right up to grand 96-night odysseys, with a median length of 14 nights — long enough to feel like a proper holiday. Roughly half the sailings are round trips, so you leave and arrive at the same port with no domestic connection to arrange; the other half are one-way voyages where a short domestic flight links the two ends, and CruiseAway can book that flight as part of your package.

Where do Princess Cruises sail to from Australia?

The itineraries split neatly into two groups: destinations you can reach in a few days at sea from an Australian port, and the longer transoceanic voyages that take you to the Americas or Hawaii.

Close to home — Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific

The largest share of sailings stays in Australian waters, cruising between coastal cities, up to the tropics and across to New Zealand. If you are based near a departure port, you can board without any flight at all — just drive or take the train to the terminal. If you are flying in from another state, it is a short domestic hop rather than a long-haul journey, and still far simpler than reaching most overseas cruise ports.

New Zealand sailings — departing most often from Sydney — are a consistently popular choice, threading through the landscapes and port cities of both islands. Cruises from Sydney to New Zealand give you the convenience of one of Australia’s busiest embarkation ports paired with a destination that rewards every visit.

The South Pacific itineraries reach island groups whose turquoise lagoons are otherwise difficult to access without a connecting flight. Cruises from Sydney to Fiji are a particularly popular route in this group, combining a straightforward boarding experience with a destination that delivers on every postcard promise. Fiji also features in multi-island Pacific voyages that take in more than one island group on a single sailing.

A smaller number of sailings venture into South East Asia, departing from or arriving into Singapore — a natural hub for this region and a city that makes a compelling pre- or post-cruise stop in its own right. CruiseAway can book the Singapore hotel and connecting flights as part of a single booking.
