Actually find yourself moored in the port city of Fremantle, at the mouth of the Swan River and some 19km from Perth CBD.
In conjunction with the City, Fremantle Trams provide a shuttle transfer to the city visitor centre from directly outside the passenger terminal
For those looking for a reasonably priced alternative to the tours sold on board your ship we recommend The Triple Tour
Providing a guided tour of Fremantle to places large coaches cannot reach, a Captain Cook Cruise on the beautiful Swan River to the Perth CBD & direct connection onto the globally recognised City Sightseeing open-top bus tour of Perth and Kings Park.
Obviously your concern will be getting back to the ship for departure! Here are the key times for you to consider.
08:00 Hopefully your ship is alongside
09:00 Disembark and transfer to city centre on the tram shuttle. Tell your driver you want the Triple Tour and he'll make sure you are in the right place to get your tickets.
09:45 Tram Tour departs from the Town Hall
11:15 Tram connects directly to Captain Cook Cruises
12:30 Arrive Barrack St Jetty, Perth. A chance to get lunch
13:15 City Sightseeing departs for Perth tour
15:00 Depart your bus at Perth train station where trains depart every 15 minutes for Fremantle. A 35 minute trip
16:00 Arrive back in Fremantle. A 5 minute walk to the Passenger Terminal. Pleanty of time for a 17:00 sailing
Things to bear in mind
If you pre-book your ship could be late arriving. The 09:45 start time cannot be changed
If you have a later departure the tour can be started at 10:50 and have in you back in Fremantle at 17:30
We have been doing this for years. It works! We sell hundreds each cruise season.
Promise you won't laugh at your ship mates who paid twice as much for half the experience!
