Fly to Sydney, stay a night and sail for 11 nights back to Fremantle, from $5475 per person.

It’s a neat idea for West Australian travellers and a chance to call at Newcastle, Melbourne, Adelaide, Albany and Busselton for Margaret River.

And, of course, sail the stunning southern coast of Australia.

The 11-night Southern Australia Explorer voyage is on Crown Princess, with all onboard meals and entertainment included.

The October 2026 voyage is mostly sold out — but Holidays of Australia has secured five cabins on the ship, which departs Sydney on October 7.

And they are offering a “fly free, stay free” package from Perth.

The Economy flight from Perth to Sydney is on October 6, 2026, and there is one night’s accommodation in a Sydney four-star hotel for two people.

The travellers board Crown Princess the next day (it leaves at 6.45pm) to sail back to Fremantle, arriving on Sunday, October 17.

And it is all from just $5475 per person, twin share, in a balcony cabin (that is a saving of $1000 per person on the usual price).
