The Adelaide Cruise Ships Season is set to be a bumper season with no less than 43 visits scheduled; a significant increase from the 2017-18 season.

The season commenced as Princess Cruises MS Sea Princess cruised into the outer harbour earlier this week, however, there is no need to be disappointed in missing this first visit of the season as there is a massive season ahead and Sea Princess will return to Adelaide shores on 18 March 2019.

The season will bring big ships and little ships and everything in between to delight cruise ship fans of all types with visiting vessels ranging from the small and luxurious to the mega cruise ship for families and fun.

All ships will dock at the Outer Harbour Cruise Ship Terminal with best vantage points to watch them cruise in and out is anywhere along the foreshore at Semaphore or from Lady Ruthven Drive, North Haven.

Travel to the Outer Harbour by train or car. Please see Adelaide Metro for further information.

Please note: these are viewing events only and no access is available onboard visiting ships. All times given are subject to change. Please visit Cruise Ships in Adelaide for further information.
