Cruising In Perth

Perth welcomes thousands of cruise passengers at Fremantle every year from small ships to world-class liners.

You can view a cruise ship entering or leaving the harbour from the western end of Victoria Quay (for example, near the B Shed Ferry Terminal, on the wharf side of A and B Sheds or near the Maritime Museum) or from the South and North moles. Non-passengers are not permitted inside the terminal during large ship visits due the large number of people disembarking/embarking.
