Cruises from Singapore to Australia

Singapore to Australia: What Kind of Crossing Is This?

Every sailing is a one-way ocean cruise departing from Singapore and arriving in Australia. Because the itinerary ends in Australia rather than returning to Singapore, you will need a flight home — and our team can book that alongside your cruise, along with hotels either side and transfers, so nothing is left loose. Sailings run from 12 to 29 nights, with a median of around 20 nights, so this is a proper voyage rather than a short break. Most cruises arrive into Sydney; others dock at Brisbane or Perth (Fremantle).

Where Does the Singapore to Australia Cruise Go?

Australia is the dominant destination on this route, with the great majority of sailings heading there across the Indian Ocean or through Southeast Asian waters. A smaller number of itineraries spend more time in Southeast Asia before continuing south, and a handful extend into East Asia. The exact ports of call vary by cruise line and departure date — the shape of the voyage is what draws most people to it as much as any single stop.

If you are planning your trip around a specific Australian city, it is worth noting which disembarkation port suits you. Sydney tends to have the widest choice of sailings; Brisbane and Perth (Fremantle) give you a different arrival experience and different onward options within Australia.

Which Cruise Lines Sail from Singapore to Australia?

Princess Cruises has the most sailings on this route and is the natural starting point for many people. Celebrity Cruises offers a strong premium alternative. Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line each have sailings for those who want a more lively, activity-led atmosphere on board. At the luxury end, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Azamara both offer sailings on this crossing. A number of Cruise1st Packages are also available, which bundle the cruise with flights and hotels into a single, straightforward price.

Which Ships Are Sailing This Route?

Several well-known ships operate this crossing, each with a distinct character. Here is what to expect on the main vessels:

Celebrity Solstice — Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Solstice was comprehensively renewed in 2026, gaining a new Trattoria Rossa Italian restaurant, Fine Cut Steakhouse, and a Sunset Park terrace. The Lawn Club — a genuine half-acre of real grass on deck — hosts live Hot Glass Show demonstrations and outdoor cinema screenings. Suite guests have access to The Retreat: a private pool sundeck, the exclusive Luminae restaurant with Daniel Boulud menus, and dedicated butler service. When you are comparing cabin options, the Celebrity Solstice cabins and deck plans are worth a look before you book.

Celebrity Solstice Cabin Grades

• Inside cabin I1 (17 m²) — Located on higher decks with shorter routes to pools and bars. Sleeps up to 4.
• Panoramic Ocean-view cabin PN (22.7 m²) — Floor-to-ceiling glass panoramic window for a significantly wider field of view than a standard porthole. Sleeps up to 4.
• Deluxe Veranda DV (19.1 m²) — Around 1 m² larger than a standard balcony cabin, with your own outdoor space. Sleeps up to 5.
• Penthouse Suite PS (156.1 m²) — The largest suite on board, with a private hot tub. More than 4 times the space of a standard balcony cabin. Sleeps up to 4.

Grand Princess — Princess Cruises

Grand Princess is known for Movies Under the Stars, Princess’s iconic open-air poolside cinema with a giant screen, complimentary popcorn and blankets — a genuine highlight on a long ocean crossing. The Crown Grill steakhouse serves aged cuts, and the International Café is open 24 hours. MedallionClass technology lets you order food and drinks delivered anywhere on board via the Princess app. See the Grand Princess cabins and deck plans if you are deciding between cabin grades.

The Alchemy Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar and Piano Bar 88 cover every evening mood, while Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Bonsai Sushi Express and Seafood Shack anchor the specialty dining. For quieter moments, the Cloud 9 Spa thermal suites and adults-only Serenity Retreat give you somewhere to decompress. Check the Carnival Luminosa cabins and deck plans before choosing your grade.

Norwegian Spirit — Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Spirit was fully overhauled in 2022 — new restaurants, an extended spa and fresh bar spaces — making it NCL’s most intimate ship. Freestyle dining means no fixed dining times; Cagney’s Steakhouse, Le Bistro for French cuisine, and Onda by Scarpetta Italian are all available. The Spice H2O adults-only open-air lounge has 2 bars, while the Mandara Spa spans 650 m² with steam baths and hydrotherapy. See the Norwegian Spirit cabins and deck plans for a full breakdown.

Azamara Pursuit — Azamara

Azamara Pursuit is a boutique ship carrying just 777 guests — a very different feel from the larger vessels on this route. Azamara’s signature approach means longer stays in port as standard, with regular overnights so you can explore destinations properly rather than rushing back. Complimentary AzAmazing Evenings — exclusive private cultural events ashore — are included in your fare, as are the Prime C and Aqualina specialty restaurants. The Azamara Pursuit cabins and deck plans show you exactly what is available.

What Do the Fares Include?

Fare inclusions vary significantly by cruise line, so it pays to check carefully before booking.

Princess Cruises offers several fare tiers. The Standard fare covers the cruise itself, with the Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages available to add. The Princess Plus package includes 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to $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.

Celebrity Cruises offers a base rate covering dining and entertainment with no bundled extras, a Best Value All Inclusive fare that adds a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi, and The Retreat tier for suite guests — which adds premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, exclusive lounge and sundeck access, private dining and dedicated personal service.

Norwegian Cruise Line offers its base Brochure fare for those who prefer to add extras individually, alongside the Free at Sea package (beverages, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits per port) and the Free at Sea Plus tier, which extends the dining and beverage allowances across all guests on the booking.

Are There Discounted Sailings?

Some sailings on this route are reduced from their previously listed price. Discounts reach up to 20% on a single departure, though that is the maximum on one sailing; most reduced fares are around 8% off that cabin grade’s previous price. If you spot a sailing at a reduced rate, it is worth booking sooner rather than later — these reductions move quickly.

Cruises from Singapore: Wider Options

If you are open to a Singapore departure without a fixed Australian destination in mind, there is a wider world of cruising available from this port. Sailings fan out across Southeast Asia and into East Asia, as well as heading south towards Australia. Browse the full range of cruises from Singapore in 2027 or cruises from Singapore in 2026 to see what else is available.

For those planning around Princess Cruises specifically, the Princess Japan and Southeast Asia sailings for 2027–2028 are worth exploring alongside the Australia route. And if Australia is the destination but you want to look at broader departure options, the Australia cruises from the UK page and Australia and New Zealand 2027 cruises give you a wider picture.

Where a discount is shown, it is a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing, not a comparison between cabin grades or against a brochure rate.
