Singapore to Sydney cruises in 2026

Why a Singapore to Sydney cruise in 2026?

These are one-way repositioning voyages — they depart Singapore and arrive in Sydney, covering between 15 and 18 nights at sea. That shape suits travellers who want a genuine ocean crossing rather than a round-trip, and it means you arrive in Sydney having already had the holiday. Both sailings depart in the October-to-December window, so they drop passengers into Sydney just as the Australian summer is warming up. Because they are one-way, you will need a domestic connection between the two cities at either end: if you are Sydney-based, a flight to Singapore gets you to the ship; if you are elsewhere in Australia, a short domestic hop to Sydney brings you home after disembarkation. CruiseAway can book both legs, plus any hotels around them, so nothing is left to sort separately.

Which cruise lines sail from Singapore to Sydney in 2026?

2 sailings are on sale for 2026, operated by Princess Cruises and Silversea. They represent two very different styles of ocean travel — one a large resort ship, one a small ultra-luxury vessel — and between them they cover most budgets and travel preferences. Fares start from A$2,052 pp*.

Princess Cruises — Royal Princess

Princess Cruises operates one sailing aboard Royal Princess, a ship that gives passengers reasons to spend time both inside and out. The glass-bottomed SeaWalk extends 40 metres above the ocean — walk out over the water and look straight down at the sea below your feet. When you want to slow down, The Sanctuary is an adults-only retreat with attentive stewards and open ocean views. In the evenings, Movies Under the Stars, duelling pianos at Crooners and a dancing fountain light show give the deck a different atmosphere after dark.

Princess offers a choice of fare tiers worth understanding before you book:

• Princess Standard — the base fare covering the cruise itself. The Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages (beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities, casual dining and more) are available to add on separately.
• Princess Plus — includes 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (up to 15 per day), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating.

Cabin grades on Royal Princess run from interior rooms to full penthouse suites. See the Royal Princess cabins and deck plans for the full layout. The grades available on this sailing include:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4. The most affordable way aboard, with minibar, safe and desk included.
• Sea-view cabin O6 — 20.0 m², sleeps up to 4. A large panoramic window faces forward, giving natural daylight and an open-ocean sightline that inside cabins cannot match.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA — 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own private balcony — a useful space for breakfast or sundowners as the ship sails south.
• Penthouse Suite S3 with aft balcony — from 54.5 m², sleeps up to 4. Significantly more living space than any other grade on board, with an aft-facing balcony overlooking the ship’s wake.

Silversea — Silver Moon

Silversea operates one sailing aboard Silver Moon, the newest ship in the Silversea fleet and one built for travellers who want everything taken care of. Every cabin comes with a personal butler, so the level of service on this crossing is closer to a private club than a standard cruise ship.

Silversea’s all-inclusive fares cover butler-serviced suites, all dining, unlimited wines and spirits, onboard gratuities and Wi-Fi — you settle in and the ship handles the rest. An enhanced All-Inclusive Plus fare adds a shore excursion credit based on voyage length and a fully refundable deposit, which is worth considering if you prefer flexibility at the time of booking.

The Silver Moon cabin available on this sailing:

• Grand Suite G2 with two bedrooms — 174 m², sleeps up to 6. Separate areas for sleeping, living and working, making this the most spacious two-bedroom suite aboard. See the Silver Moon cabins and deck plans for the full layout.

What is included in the fare?

What you get with your fare depends on the cruise line and the tier you choose. On Princess, the base Standard fare is the cruise itself; the Plus package layers in drinks, dining and Wi-Fi at a fixed daily rate. On Silversea, every fare is all-inclusive by design — drinks, dining, gratuities and butler service are all covered, with the Plus tier adding shore excursion credits and a refundable deposit on top. Our cruise experts can walk you through both structures and help you work out which combination makes sense for how you travel.

How do I get to Singapore, and what about the return from Sydney?

Because these are one-way voyages, both ends of the trip need a plan. From most Australian cities, you will fly into Singapore to board the ship — a straightforward international flight that CruiseAway can book alongside your cruise, together with any hotel nights in Singapore before departure and transfers to the pier. At the Sydney end, the ship arrives at Sydney, and from there you connect home by domestic flight or however suits you. If you are based in Sydney, the homecoming is as simple as it gets. If you are travelling from another state, we can add the domestic connection to the same booking so the whole trip is joined up.
