Can I buy a one-way ticket and return on a different sailing?

Yes. One-way tickets are available in both directions. You can purchase a Perth-to-Fremantle ticket for one departure and a separate Fremantle-to-Perth ticket for a later sailing, giving you time to explore Fremantle in between.

Is there reserved seating on board?

No — all seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Arriving at the jetty a few minutes before departure gives you the best choice of spot.

What is included in the Lunch Cruise ticket?

The Swan River Lunch Cruise departs Perth at 11:15 AM and includes a meal on board. The full lunch menu is available from the operator. This ticket covers both the cruise and the meal.

Is this cruise suitable for wheelchair users?

Unfortunately not. Due to the age and design of the Swan River vessels, this cruise is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with significant walking disabilities.

Do children need a ticket?

Children under 4 years old travel free of charge. Children aged 4 and above require a paid ticket — check the ticket options for applicable child fares.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted. Printing is not required, though having a printed copy as a backup is always a sensible precaution.
