Things you Need to Know About Fremantle Passenger Terminal

• Australia/NZ Departures
• International Departures

Perfectly located on the outskirts of Perth, Fremantle Passenger Terminal is the ideal port to begin or end your cruise adventure.

Fremantle Passenger Terminal is handily situated around 14 kilometres southwest of Perth and just moments from the shops, restaurants and bars of Fremantle itself.

Discover a big history

The heritage-listed buildings of the Fremantle Passenger Terminal were constructed in the early 1960s. In those days, for most of the 150,000 passengers arriving each year, the Port of Fremantle was their first glimpse of Australia and their gateway to a new life.

Times have changed, and Fremantle is now one of the most anticipated ports of call for international and domestic cruise liners, capable of berthing two ships simultaneously.

Getting to and from

If you’re heading to Fremantle Passenger Terminal from Perth Domestic and International Airport terminals, it’s about 30 minutes by taxi on a good day. The safest thing to do is allow more time for traffic. Alternatively, jump on the shuttle bus into Perth CBD and then catch one of the frequent buses or trains that run from Perth to Fremantle train station. Then it’s only a short walk across a pedestrian bridge to Victoria Quay.

Travelling by car? Friends or family can drop you off and pick you up right in front of the Passenger Terminal. Make sure to let them know the best spot to watch the departure and arrival of your cruise ship is at the western end of Victoria Quay, near the Maritime Museum. There is short-term parking in Victoria Quay and long-term parking in nearby Fremantle.

What you’ll find at the terminal

Fremantle Passenger Terminal has a café and licensed bar area, along with public conveniences, a public payphone, and complimentary Wi-Fi access when cruise ships are in port. In addition to wheelchair access, there is an escalator and lifts between the ground floor and upper passenger terminal area.

Exploring Fremantle

Only a short walk from the Passenger Terminal, Fremantle is a vibrant port city with a historic past and plenty to see. So don’t rush through without stopping! This once colonial and gold rush port – lovingly known by locals as “Freo” – is found where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean.

It may only be 27 kilometres from Perth, but the two couldn’t be more different. Chill out on one of the many pristine beaches, explore the bustling market with street performers, and sample some eclectic nightlife. Fremantle has consistently good weather all year round, so be sure to experience alfresco dining on the Cappuccino Strip, in the centre of Fremantle’s entertainment precinct.

Go further afield

From walks around Kings Park, wine tasting, beaches and shopping; there really is something for everybody. Start with a relaxing cruise along the Swan River to Perth. A 2½-hour scenic cruise takes you past magnificent riverside homes and suburbs. From Fremantle, you can also hop on the short ferry crossing to Rottnest Island, hire a bike and explore its 63 stunning white beaches.

Tempted to stay longer? You’ll love spending an extra couple of days exploring one of the premium wine producing regions of the world, Margaret River.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, romantic getaway or relaxing break, Fremantle is the perfect place to begin your adventure.

Port Exmouth WA cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Exmouth WA, Western Australia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Exmouth is a port town in Western Australia, located on the North West Cape's tip. The town is approx 1270 km (789 mi) north of the state's capital Perth , and approx 3360 km (2090 mi) southwest of Darwin NT . Exmouth's population is around 2200, but at the tourist season's peak it increases to around 6,000.

The town was founded in 1967 to support nearby US Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt. Beginning in the late-1970s, Exmouth started hosting US Air Force personnel assigned to Learmonth Solar Observatory (defense science facility operated via Australia's Ionospheric Prediction Service). During WW2 (1939-1945), the location was used as a military base.

Following the retreat from Java (March 1942), Allied naval forces needed a base for replenishing submarines against Japan. Both Broome (Western Australia) and Darwin (Northern Territory) were too exposed to air attacks. A 500-ton non-motorized lighter was positioned as refueling barge close to the mouth of Exmouth Gulf, while the Allies had already maintained a seaplane tender there.

Nowadays, Exmouth relies more on tourism than on the Navy for its existence. Cape Range National Park (sized around 506 km2 / 195 mi2) has its main area concentrated on the west coast, providing various camping sites on the coastal fringe.

On March 22, 1999, Tropical Cyclone Vance stretched out to Category 5 storm and made landfall close to Exmouth. The result was the highest ever wind gust reported on mainland Australia -  267 kph at Learmonth, approx 35 km (22 mi) to the south. The storm caused significant property damages and flooding. In April 2014, the town was hit by a flash flood, nearly destroying the caravan park and damaging much of the infrastructure.

Exmouth WA cruise terminal

In 2016, Pacific Eden ( P&O Australia ) made Exmouth a major port destination on its Western Australia itineraries. In 2017, 3 new cruise ships are scheduled to visit the Exmouth port. These are Silver Whisper ( Silversea , in Feb 2017), Artania ( Phoenix Reisen , in March 2017), Sirena ( Oceania , in March 2017) and ms Maasdam ( Holland America , in Nov 2017).

Among the factors hampering cruise port's growth is the lack of all-weather docking facilities. There are future plans for the construction of a dedicated cruise ship terminal. A new deepwater wharf will be built within Exmouth Gulf (south of the Boat Harbor).
