Ochre Coast Sojourn – Broome & Lombok from Fremantle

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Fremantle on December 19, 2027, visiting Exmouth WA, Broome WA, Lembar and Benoa. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Fremantle, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. People come back from this cruise talking about Broome WA: Kimberley's red-pindan gateway to Cable Beach sunsets. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sapphire Princess has 14 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Fremantle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. 4 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
