Princess Cruises to Tasmania 2027

Sailing to Tasmania with Princess Cruises in 2027

Princess Cruises offers more Tasmania departures in 2027 than any other line, with sailings leaving from Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Los Angeles throughout the year. Voyages range from short getaways of 6 nights to extended journeys of up to 129 nights, with a median of around 14 nights — enough time to properly explore the island and the waters around it. Most sailings are one-way, so the itinerary finishes in a different city from where it starts, and a short domestic flight connects the two ends if you’re not already local. For those cruising around Australia in 2027, Tasmania fits naturally into a longer southern voyage.

Where do Princess Cruises Tasmania sailings go?

The 2027 Tasmania programme spans three broad directions, and which one suits you depends on how much time you want at sea and where you’d like to end up.

Close to home — Australia and New Zealand

The largest share of sailings keeps things firmly in this corner of the world. Australian itineraries pair Tasmania with other southern ports, making them ideal for anyone who wants a proper deep-south experience without crossing an ocean. New Zealand sailings extend the journey across the Tasman, combining Tasmanian ports with New Zealand’s scenery on a single voyage — a combination that works particularly well as a one-way trip, finishing in Auckland. If you’re Sydney-based, you can board at home; from Melbourne, Adelaide or Brisbane, it’s a short domestic hop to your departure port rather than a long-haul flight. Princess Cruises from Sydney in 2027 covers Sydney departures in full detail, and cruises to Tasmania from Brisbane gives you the Brisbane options directly.

The long haul — Transpacific voyages

A handful of sailings cross the Pacific, finishing in Los Angeles or Vancouver. These are one-way repositioning voyages: the ship calls at Tasmanian ports early in the journey, then heads north across the Pacific for a grand finale on the North American coast. If you’ve ever wanted to combine a Tasmanian cruise with a California or Canadian road trip, this is the natural way to do it — and CruiseAway can book the flights, hotels and transfers on both ends as a single DreamAway Package. Transpacific cruises has more on this style of voyage.

Which ships sail Princess Cruises to Tasmania in 2027?

Four Princess ships carry the Tasmania programme in 2027. Each has a distinct character, and the right one depends on what you’re looking for at sea.

Coral Princess

Coral Princess runs more Tasmania sailings than any other ship in the fleet. Her slim beam is a genuine advantage on this itinerary: she can slip into narrow waterways and smaller ports that larger ships simply cannot access, which means discovery itineraries by design rather than by compromise. On board, 3 revolving stages in a single venue host cooking demonstrations, cabaret and fashion shows — the same space transforms across the voyage. When you need to step away from it all, The Sanctuary adults-only retreat on the top deck has sun loungers and attentive service. If you’re comparing cabin grades on Coral Princess, the Coral Princess cabins and deck plans page shows every option in detail.

• Inside cabin IA — 14.5 m²: Mid-deck position for minimal motion, with central access to lifts and onboard facilities. Sleeps up to 4.
• Sea-view cabin O5 — 19.7 m²: Large panoramic window brings natural daylight and an unobstructed sea view that inside cabins cannot offer. Sleeps up to 4.
• Premium Balcony cabin B1 — 23.0 m²: Roughly 50% more space than a standard balcony cabin, making a real difference on longer voyages. Sleeps up to 4.
• Premium Suite S5 — 43.7 m²: A spacious living area with a separate seating zone — considerably larger than a mini-suite. Sleeps up to 4.

Royal Princess

Royal Princess is the ship for those who want a talking point at every port. The SeaWalk — a glass-bottomed walkway cantilevered 40 metres above the ocean — gives you nothing but blue water beneath your feet and Tasmania’s coast in the distance. In the evenings, Movies Under the Stars on deck, duelling pianos at Crooners, and a dancing fountain light show keep things lively without feeling forced. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat is here too, with ocean views and attentive stewards. Check Royal Princess cabins and deck plans to find the grade that suits you.

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m²: The most affordable entry point, with minibar, safe and desk as standard. Sleeps up to 4.
• Sea-view cabin O6 — 20.0 m²: Forward-facing panoramic window with a sightline of the open ocean. Sleeps up to 4.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA — 23.4 m²: A private balcony for breakfast or sundowners — something no inside or sea-view cabin can match. Sleeps up to 4.
• Penthouse Suite S3 with aft balcony — 54.5 m²: The largest cabin on board, providing significantly more living space than any mini-suite or standard cabin. Sleeps up to 4.

Grand Princess

Grand Princess brings a relaxed, familiar warmth to the Tasmania run. Movies Under the Stars on deck pairs perfectly with a Great Barrier Reef or southern-coast voyage, and the Princess app lets you order cocktails by the pool or pizza to your cabin with a single tap — no queuing at the bar. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat on the top deck offers sun loungers, light meals and peaceful ocean views. See Grand Princess cabins and deck plans for the full layout.

• Inside cabin IA — 14.9 m²: Mid-deck location with minimal motion and easy access to central facilities. Sleeps up to 4.
• Premium sea view O3 — 19.1 m²: Floor-to-ceiling panoramic window with an unobstructed sea view and natural light. Sleeps up to 4.
• Premium Balcony cabin B2 — 25.5 m²: Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors give an open-plan feel and more natural light than a standard balcony cabin. Sleeps up to 4.
• Grand Suite S1 with private hot tub — 67.8 m²: The largest suite on board, with a private hot tub on the balcony and space well beyond any other category. Sleeps up to 4.

Sapphire Princess

Fresh from a 2025 refit, Sapphire Princess features new restaurants, revitalised cabins and a modernised Lotus Spa. The Sanctuary adults-only pool deck has private cabanas, cold towels and serenity stewards. For cabin choices on Sapphire Princess, Sapphire Princess cabins and deck plans has everything laid out by deck.

What’s included in a Princess Cruises fare?

Princess Cruises offers 3 main fare tiers in 2027, and the difference between them is significant enough to be worth understanding before you book.

Princess Standard is the base cruise fare: it covers the voyage itself, with meals in the main dining room and buffet included, but drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities are extras. It suits travellers who prefer to pay for only what they use.

Princess Plus is the most popular choice for good reason. It adds 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (with a daily allowance of 15 drinks), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating. For most couples sailing a 14-night voyage, the maths work out well in their favour.

Our cruise experts can walk you through the numbers for your specific sailing and help you decide which tier — or which cabin grade — gives you the best value. That’s exactly what booking with a specialist gets you that booking direct does not.

Are there deals on Princess Cruises Tasmania sailings in 2027?

Yes — a good number of Tasmania sailings in 2027 carry a reduced price on at least one cabin grade. Discounts reach up to 37% on the highest-reduced departure, though that applies to a single sailing; across the programme, most reduced sailings are around 8% off the price previously listed for that cabin grade. Fare types such as last-minute offers and early-saver promotions come and go throughout the year, so checking regularly — or asking one of our cruise experts to watch for you — can pay off. The Princess Cruises cruise deals page keeps current offers together in one place.

Prices for 2027 Tasmania sailings start from A$1,099 pp*.

Which ports do Princess Cruises Tasmania sailings depart from?

Sydney is the most common departure port, accounting for the largest share of Tasmania sailings. If you’re Sydney-based, you walk on at Circular Quay and you’re at sea the same afternoon. From another Australian state, a short domestic flight gets you there — still far simpler than any international connection.

Brisbane departures suit Queensland residents well and remove the need for any flight at all if you’re in southeast Queensland. Cruises from Brisbane in January 2027 is a good place to start if that’s your home port.

Auckland is the departure point for New Zealand sailings that head south through Tasmanian waters. If you’re New Zealand-based, this is your home-port option; for Australian travellers, it works well as part of a trans-Tasman round trip, and CruiseAway can book the connecting flight and any Auckland hotel night as part of your package.

Los Angeles departures are the start of the Transpacific voyages described above. We can add flights from Australia to Los Angeles, a hotel night before embarkation, and transfers — all on one booking. See cruise from Singapore to Australia 2027 for another long-haul option in the same year.
