Cruise ship Majestic Princess with hundreds of COVID-infected passengers docks in Sydney

Health authorities are working with the operators of the Majestic Princess cruise ship that has docked in Sydney Harbour with hundreds of people infected with COVID on board. 

Key points:

  • NSW Health says the cruise ship is at a Tier 3 warning, the highest possible COVID alert
  • Cruise operator Carnival says about 800 people are infected with the virus
  • All passengers will do a rapid antigen test before disembarking

New South Wales Health has confirmed the cruise ship is at the highest COVID alert possible for those on board with a Tier Three warning.

That means at least 20 per cent of people who were on board for the cruise have COVID.

The ship has more than 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew, with several hundred believed to be infected.

Many passengers disembarked from the ship on Saturday after testing negative to the virus.

The president of cruise operator Carnival Australia, Marguerite Fitzgerald, said there were about 800 people infected, who were mostly passengers.

"This is a 12-day voyage and we started to see elevated cases about halfway through," she said.

Ms Fitzgerald said the infected guests are mild or asymptomatic, and have been isolating in their rooms.

"Reflective of the increase in community transmissions, we too have seen more guests test positive for COVID-19 on the current voyage of Majestic Princess. This is a result of mass testing of our 3,300 guests," she said. 

The company said it had been proactively preparing for COVID-19 incidents and was working closely with NSW Health. 

It comes as the state sees a sharp spike in the number of COVID cases.

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant on Friday warned NSW had entered its fourth COVID-19 wave , with 19,800 cases detected in the seven days to 4pm on Thursday.

It was a jump of 7,350 cases on the week before, when 12,450 cases were detected in NSW.

NSW Health said in a statement that all COVID-positive people onboard were isolating and being cared for by the staff medical team.

"NSW Health's assessment is that the COVID-19 risk level for the Majestic Princess is now Tier 3, which indicates a high level of transmission," it said in the statement.

"Carnival has advised NSW Health that they are assisting passengers with COVID-19 to make safe onward travel arrangements."

One man leaving the ship said he thought the cruise operator had done a good job with protocols, but passengers were not listening to instructions.

"It was scary because we heard about it [the infections] but we tested negative, and the Princess Majestic were really good with the protocols," he said.

"We wore masks for the last seven days and we were very careful when we went ashore, so some people don't just listen. Obviously they didn't [follow the rules] and that was the problem, people just don't take COVID seriously."

Another passenger praised the crew and said the cruise was enjoyable.

"Fantastic, no problems. The crew were terrific, and we've had a great time," he said.

"You've got to accept that this is how it's going to be, and no we thoroughly enjoyed it."

Carnival said all positive cases would be separated from other guests when they disembark the ship.

"We understand this current wave of COVID-19 is concerning to many in the community and we take our responsibility in keeping everyone safe very seriously," it said in a statement.

"All guests disembarking have undertaken a rapid antigen test in the past 24 hours, which will determine how they will disembark the ship.

"All guests will be masked, regardless of COVID status."

The Opposition said while the situation was delicate it would not be calling for restrictions.

"No, I'm not calling for that [restrictions], I think that the advice from Kerry Chant [NSW Health Chief Officer] this morning was wise," leader Chris Minns said.

"Let's manage this situation using the expert advice and expertise of our chief health officer ... I've got confidence in them to navigate through a tricky situation."

Grand Princess cruise ship hit by double Covid and gastro outbreaks docks in Adelaide

South Australia Health says infections now back to normal levels ‘you would expect on any cruise ship’

A double outbreak of Covid-19 and gastroenteritis on a cruise ship has been declared over after it docked in Adelaide and passengers disembarked on Monday morning.

South Australia Health said the remaining cases on the Grand Princess cruise ship, operated by Princess Cruises, were “consistent with numbers you would expect on any cruise ship”.

Princess Cruises said there was no current double outbreak on the ship, which had a capacity for 2,600 passengers and 1,150 crew members and was on a four day round trip from Adelaide to Melbourne. A spokesperson said the number of unwell guests with symptoms was in the “single digits”.

The spokesperson said on a previous trip, which was a 14 day round trip from Melbourne to Queensland, a number of people had symptoms of a respiratory and gastrointestinal illness.

“While most guests were unaffected by illness on that voyage, we proactively launched a comprehensive disinfection program, developed in coordination with international health authorities to prevent further spread,” they said.

The South Australian premier, Peter Malinauskas, said those on board the ship that arrive in Adelaide on Monday and needed urgent care would be transported to hospital facilities in a way that was safe.

“It’s been something we’ve been monitoring pretty closely over the last 48 hours,” Malinauskas told Nine’s Today show on Monday.

“The good news is reports that we’ve got from the cruise operators that the number of cases presenting has actually dramatically decreased over the course of the last couple of days.”

SA Health said in a statement the ship docked in Melbourne on Saturday to undergo a clean and all passengers disembarked while that was undertaken.

Princess Cruises said the ship will again be disinfected in Adelaide on Monday before returning to Melbourne.

Maureen Monk, a passenger aboard the ship, told ABC passengers started reporting feeling unwell on the second day of the cruise. After that, more and more were confined to their rooms.

She said she felt a lack of communication about the outbreaks created an “unsafe environment” for passengers.

It comes amid a new Covid wave in Australia, with 2,493 cases confirmed in South Australia on Friday following 1,700 confirmed cases the previous week. Cases have also risen nationally after a dip following the winter period, according to data from the federal health department.

There have also been warnings over a gastro outbreak in Australia, with cases in the past 12 months more than double the usual number .

Cruise Ship With 800 Covid-Positive Passengers And Crew Docked In Sydney

After cases soared, a cruise ship with 800 Covid-positive passengers docked in Sydney , Australia.The wave of infections spread around both passengers and crew members on a cruise ship sailing from New Zealand.

The Majestic Princess cruise ship was halfway through a 12- day voyage when the outbreak happened. Cases increasingly spread which led to mass Covid-19 testing for 3,300 passengers on board. Of these passengers, 800 tested positive alongside a few crew members.

According to CNN, the ship had 4,600 passengers and crew on board in total.

Cruise ship with 800 Covid-positive passengers docked in Sydney:

The uptick in cases has been linked to the rise of infections in Australia.

In a media briefing, Carnival Australia president Marguerite Fitzgerald told reporters that a large number of the cases were detected at least halfway into the voyage, adding that all cases were either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic.

She also highlighted that all guests who tested positive will have help “with accessing private transport and accommodation to complete their isolation period”. Fitzgerald added that Carnival Australia maintains the most stringent of measures to keep all safe onboard, including requiring 95% of guests over the age of 12 to be vaccinated and testing staff and passengers for Covid before they board.

The incident is reminiscent of the outbreak on the ship Ruby Princess, which belongs to the same operator, earlier in the pandemic. When asked about the comparison, the BBC shares that Fitzgerald responded: “Since then, we as a community have learnt a lot, a lot more about Covid.”

According to reports, the Majestic Princess will soon depart for Melbourne.

WHATSINPORT.COM: YOUR CRUISE GUIDE TO 1200 PORTS OF CALL

Interactive world cruise map, home | cruise ships | port expenses | hints and tips, sydney australia cruise port guide.

Cruise ships of all lines dock in Sydney at two locations , each of which can accommodate 1 vessel at a time.

1. Overseas Passenger Terminal - Circular Quay. Mainly for tall ships which cannot fit under the Harbour Bridge. In prime position opposite the Sydney Opera House. This terminal is right in the city.

Public Transport options: Bus number 431 drops you off on George Street outside the OPT precinct Circular Quay train station is located a three minute walk to the OPT building Circular Quay Ferry Station is located a three minute walk to the OPT Building Wynyard Train station is located 783m to the OPT Precinct Taxis available from George Street, in front of the OPT precinct Onsite parking is available via the OPT Wilsons Car Park

From the airport: Purchase a train ticket to Circular Quay at either the Sydney Airport Domestic or International Train Station. Catch the train to Circular Quay. The Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal is a very short walk from the Circular Quay Station, towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge

2. White Bay has been in operation as of 2013, replacing the former Darling harbor location. For guests arriving at the airport, cruise lines offer transfers by coach to the new terminal. P&O charges AU$22 per person each way, as well as post-cruise transfers from the ship to Central Railway Station for AU$15 per person. Public transportation is at the moment an issue here. The terminal is 6km from the city center.

The best options to reach White Bay are taxi, private transfer (eg. limo, shuttle bus) or drive and leave your car at Wilsons long-term car park.

Captain Cook Cruises has installed in 2015 the first Sydney Harbour mobile passenger terminal pontoon, which will allow cruise passengers to take a charter ferry, a 15 minutes ride, from the city to White Bay.

Sydney Airport is 17km (11 miles), around a 30-minute drive from White Bay. Some cruise lines operate their own airport shuttle (contact your travel agent).

In addition to the two berths listed, occasionally cruise ships dock at the naval base at Garden Island, a little to the east of Circular Quay, especially for very large ships.

Monthly Climate Averages for Sydney

Sightseeing:

Sydney is a definite stop on just about any cruise that travels Down Under and often serves as a starting or ending point for ships that also travel to New Zealand. It is the largest city in Australia, and while many of the nation's cultural and financial institutions are located in Sydney, the city's real draw is its dramatic natural scenery. Although it is a modern city strongly influenced by British roots and current American popular culture, Sydney's real character is derived from its exotic location and brash beauty. Walking through the glass and concrete downtown, known as the Central Business District, you could be in any other Western-culture metropolis -- until a fluorescent red and green lorikeet parrot swoops overhead or an unexpected flash of the brilliant blue harbor appears between the skyscrapers. Any proper visit to Sydney must begin in the harbor, which is both the birthplace of the city and its current iconic centerpiece. The area is called Circular Quay (pronounced "key" by locals). It is hard to imagine a more picturesque setting for a city's heart than this, with the Opera House and harbor Bridge displayed against the inlet's bright water. Sydney spreads across a massive geographic area, but the majority of its most interesting areas can be found near the ocean coast, in the area known as the Eastern suburbs. Oxford Street, the main thoroughfare running east from downtown to the ocean beaches, hosts Sydney's famous gay and lesbian Mardi Gras parade each February and is popular because of its upscale shops and cafes during the rest of the year. Sydney is a well-balanced blend of a big city lifestyle and the laid-back Australian mentality. Although Aussies who hail from other towns often disparage Sydney for its flashiness and hectic pace, urban inconveniences seem minor here compared to places like New York and London. Tourism is a huge industry around Sydney, and locals are accustomed and happy to providing visitors with service, helpful directions and a rousing welcome to the stunning city that they call

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Sydney Explorer Hop-on Hop-off harbor Cruise

Sydney and Bondi Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Take a tour of the world-famous Sydney Opera House . There are a handful of varieties (backstage, historic and what is called the "tour de force" for travelers with special interests in architecture, engineering or the arts). Guided tours are conducted between 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. Of course, schedule permitting, travelers can also take in a show. The best way to see the harbor is to get a bird's eye view from the top of the harbor Bridge on a Sydney harbor Bridge Climb -- not your ordinary stroll across a bridge and not just for the young and crazy. The 3.5-hour trek up and down the famous landmark is safe, slow and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels; you'll don a bridge suit and wear a bridge harness along the ladder-like stairways and narrow catwalks. The climbs are guided tours and are offered during the day as well as at night. There are lots of rules and regulations, including: no kids under 10 (and children aged 10 to 16 must be accompanied by an adult), no women more than 24 weeks pregnant, climbers must wear rubber soled shoes, and all climbers must pass a breath-test (for a blood alcohol limit of less than .05 percent). From the bridge, visitors can walk around the inlet to tour the always-crowded Opera House. It is easy to continue from there through the Royal Botanical Gardens, a collection of flowers and trees overlooking the water, where it is possible to see some of Australia's unique flora without having to leave the city. Mass transit options abound from Circular Quay. Trains (there's a stop across from the terminal) are easily accessed.

Darling Harbour is reachable within a 35-minute (2.6 km/1.6 miles) walking distance from the dock at Circular Quay, or 10-20 minutes driving, depending on the traffic. From the White Bay terminal, it takes only a 5-10 minutes drive to get to Darling Harbour. This waterfront destination is home to some of Sydney's major attractions including Wildlife Sydney Zoo , Sea Life Sydney Aquarium , Madame Tussauds wax museum, Australian National Maritime Museum , Pyrmont Bridge, and others.

Shopping and food.

Options in Sydney include central areas like Pitt Street Mall, downtown and Castlereagh Street (from Hunter Street to Goulburn Street) for chi-chi designer stores. Also include the aforementioned Rocks and Darling harbor, Oxford Street and Five Ways in Paddington. Sydney also has an excellent collection of weekend outdoor markets. Glebe holds its version every Saturday, while Bondi hosts a market each Sunday.

Opening hours and holidays:.

Shops and services are generally open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and until lunchtime on Saturday. In cities and larger towns, many shops stay open late on Thursday or Friday evening - usually until 9pm - and all day on Saturday. Shopping malls are often open on Sundays as well.

In remote country areas, roadhouses provide all the essential services for the traveler and, on the major highways, are generally open 24 hours a day. In tourist areas, even ones well off the beaten track, tourist offices are often open every day or at least through the week plus weekend mornings; urban information centers are more likely to conform to normal shopping hours.

Tourist attractions such as museums, galleries and attended historic monuments, are often open daily, though those in rural communities may have erratic opening hours.

Melbourne cruise port

Region Australia - New Zealand - Pacific Ocean Islands

Local Time 2024-04-30 17:56

Port Melbourne cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Melbourne, Victoria Australia. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Melbourne cruise port is part of Port Phillip Bay and is located on its top end. Bellarine The Victoria state (southeast Australia) is the country’s smallest but most densely populated state, and the second-most populous - after NSW (New South Wales). Most of the population is concentrated in the surrounding Port Phillip Bay area. The huge metropolitan area includes the capital Melbourne City - country’s second-largest (after Sydney NSW ) and followed by Brisbane (Queensland) , Perth (Western Australia) and Adelaide (South Australia) .

Melbourne is the main departure port (homeport) for cruises to Tasmania from Australia, with regularly scheduled cruiseferry service to Devonport . The Tasmanian state-owned company  TT-LINE Tasmania via 2 superfast ferries offers 2 overnight crossings (each night) leaving simultaneously from Melbourne and Devonport.

Trends show that the Australian cruising market is growing at a rapid pace. It has some of the industry's highest penetration rates nationally. The Australian cruise ports' strongest competition today comes from Singapore and Hong Kong (China).

Port Melbourne (Victoria)

Port Melbourne is one of city's suburbs (population around 15,000), located approx 5 km (3 mi) southwest from downtown's Business District. Its area (to the north of West Gate Freeway) is split between Victoria state's government areas and Port Phillip (total area 21 km2, population around 100,000). It is also bordered by Hobsons Bay and Yarra River and includes 3 localities (Beacon Cove, Fishermans Bend, Garden City).

A former industrial zone, Port Melbourne is now a combined historic-industrial area, featuring large parklands, bayside beaches, luxury apartments, premium restaurants, bars and cafes. Bay Street is the port's main commercial area. Here are headquartered Australia's most famous circus (Circus Oz), Toyota Australia's main office and the Maritime Union of Australia.

Port Melbourne

Port of Melbourne is Australasia's largest seaport for general and containership cargo. It covers the area between Yarra River's mouth (downstream of Bolte Bridge) and Port Phillip, plus several docking piers on Hobsons Bay. Since 2003, the port is managed by the Victoria state-owned "Port of Melbourne Corporation".

Most of the Port's land area is in the West Melbourne suburb. Webb Dock Terminal (serving Ro-Ro and container ships) and Station Pier Terminal (city's passenger terminal serving cruise ships and ferries ) are part of Port of Melbourne.

In September 2016, the seaport's all commercial operations were leased (50 years term / until 2066) to Lonsdale Consortium, which comprises Australian Government Future Fund, Queensland Investment Corporation, Global Infrastructure Partners (investment fund) and OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System). The port lease deal was for USD 9,7 billion.

In 2017, Port Melbourne was surpassed by Sydney NSW 's Port Botany as main container shipping destination. In FY2017, seaport's share of this market decreased from 36% to 33%, while Port Botany's stake increased to 34%. As main reason for the drop was cited port's vessel size restrictions which don't allow large boxships to be docked. West Gate Bridge has 50 m (164 ft) high-tide clearance height and is among the primary issues, together with Yarra River shipping channel's depth and width. In recent years, all world's major container shipping companies expanded their fleets by adding large-sized newbuild boxships to reduce transportation costs.

On March 30, 2018, two new China-built gantry cranes (by ZPMC / "Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries") were delivered at Melbourne Container Terminal (Webb Dock East). Same ZPMC cranes were also delivered in April in Sydney (one) and Brisbane (one).

  • The equipment (all 9 gantry cranes) was ordered by DP World Australia (Australia's main and largest container port and supply chain operator) ’to serve the country's container terminals. By this USD 180 million project were also delivered 20x straddle trucks, 4x RTGs (rubber-tired gantry cranes), 38x forklifts (industrial trucks).
  • Each of the ZPMC cranes costs USD 14 million, has rated capacity 65 tons (under spreader) and 75 tons (under heavy lift beam), rail gauge 25,3 m, above rail hoist height 38 m, hoist speed 90 m per min (loaded) and 180 m / min (unloaded).

In November 2018, Kalmarglobal (subsidiary of the Finnish company Cargotec) signed a deal with the Manila -based ICTSI (International Container Terminal Services Inc) for maintenance and support at VICT. ICTSI (1987-founded) is The Philippines' largest port operator. The Kalmarglobal-ICTSI deal included upgrades and maintenance of OneTerminal, including installing Navis N4 (operating system), 20x new Kalmar automated stacking cranes, 11x new Kalmar AutoShuttles (carriers that can independently pick, carry and stack TEUs), Kalmar Terminal Logistics System (conducting all automated operations based on Navis N4 and also connected to 5 automatic neo-Panamax gantry cranes).

Webb Dock East expansion project (extending containership Berth 4-5 by 71 m / 233 ft) is part of a 30-year (AUD 1,5 billion) investment program and will allow docking to larger vessels. Webb Dock East Terminal (since 2016) is operated/leased by VICT (Victoria International Container Terminal Ltd/2014-founded as a fully owned subsidiary of ICTSI/International Container Terminal Services Inc). ICTSI (1987-founded, Manila Philippines-based multinational company) specializes in port developments and management in the regions of Asia Pacific (Australia, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea), the Americas (Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil), Europe-Middle East Asia (Poland, Croatia, Georgia, Iraq, Pakistan), Africa (Cameroon, Congo, Madagascar). With a total of 20 ports and 34 terminals (as of 2023) ICTSI is ranked the world's 8th-largest container terminal operator by TEU volumes.

In February 2023 was announced that ICTSI could invest AUD500+ million (US$ 343M) in addition to the AUD700+ million (US$ 481M) already invested since VICT's establishment (2014). ICTSI's proposal included Webb Dock North Container Terminal's development and its integration with VICT, which would increase Port Melbourne's annual TEU capacity to 3,7 million - to a total of 4x container berths able to serve boxships with max capacity 14K-TEU and max LOA 367 m (1205 ft).

Melbourne cruise port

Port Melbourne’s adjacent areas include Melbourne City, Port Phillip, Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong.

Maintenance dredging works generally occur between January and May.

In April 2015, Princess (second largest Carnival Corporation brand) announced that for season 2016-2017 will homeport 5 ships in Australia - Emerald , Golden , Sun , Sea and Dawn . The new deployment expanded the line’s capacity by 20%. The ships were deployed for departures from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. In 2015, Princess increased its capacity in Melbourne Victoria by 23% by deploying here Golden Princess for regular round-trip departures. The ship was the largest ever based in Victoria - and outside Sydney. The 5-month (2015-2016) scheduled program offered itineraries to New Zealand, Tasmania and South Pacific Islands ports. Prices started from AUD 1850 per person for a 13-day roundtrip to NZ.

In February-March 2018, Carnival Legend was homeported in Melbourne for a total of 6 roundtrips (3x 3-night "Cruises to Nowhere", 1x 4-night Tasmania, 1x 10-night South Pacific Islands, 1x 11-night around New Zealand).

The following Port Melbourne statistics show the number of cruise ship calls (visits) and the number of passengers and crew (in brackets). Data just confirm the Australian market’s growing trend for ship cruising.

The latter include short one-way cruises between Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle.

Melbourne cruise terminal

Port Melbourne's cruise ship terminal is located at Station Pier (formerly Railway Pier), dating back to 1854. The facility is Victorian Heritage Register listed.

Station Pier cruise terminal

The Station Pier passenger terminal building hosts the cruise terminal (on level 1), small cafe, souvenir / gift shop (postage services), security checkpoint, gangway entry (wheelchair accessible), Route 109 tram service counter (on level 2 – ticketing / shuttle bus service from the docking pier to the tram), dedicated taxi rank, public phones. There are restaurants and cafes at the adjacent Waterfront Place.

  • address – “Station Pier, Port Melbourne VIC 3207, Australia”
  • location – at the top end of Port Phillip Bay, east of Bellarine Peninsula and west of Mornington Peninsula. The entry time (between the entrance and the bay) is about 1 hour. The cruise ship terminal is at 15 min drive distance from CBD (city business district).
  • Contact phone number (+61 1300 857 662)
  • 4 wharf berths – 2 on each side (max draft 34 ft / 10,3 m)

Inner East berth (length 720 ft / 220 m) serves Spirit of Tasmania ferries, operating the sea route between Melbourne and Devonport (Tasmania). Inner West berth (length 310 ft / 95 m) serves both small cruise ships and Royal Australian Navy vessels. Its max draught is smaller (27 ft / 8 m).

Outer East berth (length 730 ft / 223 m) and Outer West berth (length 1310 ft / 400 m) are for cruise ship docking only.

Station Pier development projects included:

  • 1987 - Port Melbourne railway line was closed (replaced by tram route 109 /via the city to Box Hill).
  • 1991 - Centenary Bridge was demolished (Sandridge Trail route is parallel to the tram line).
  • 2001 - here were built a boardwalk and several dining complexes (restaurants and cafes, including “3 Station Pier” and “Rex Hunt’s Delish Fish”).
  • In 2004-2005, Port of Melbourne Corporation took over the terminal’s management.
  • 2014 - a visitor center for cruise passengers was added pierside.

Station Pier was formerly named Railway Pier (opened in September 1854). The Pier is of great historical significance for the Victoria state, and is listed in the “Victorian Heritage Register” of protected cultural heritage places.

Among city’s best places to visit, Station Pier is open between 6 am and 9 pm (for pedestrians only) during the whole week. However, the facility is closed for general public on ship call days (when cruise or naval vessels dock). Fishing from Station Pier is permitted.

(new) Melbourne cruise terminal (Port Phillip Bay)

In early 2017 was suggesting building an artificial island in Port Phillip Bay. The project could result in bigger passenger shipping traffic and port capacity to handle larger cruise vessels. From the man-made island, cruise ship tourists will be ferried to the Docklands (up Yarra River), within a minute walking distance to a tram stop.

  • In November 2015, a local news media reported on a proposal to build a giant island near Yarra River's mouth. The island should be big enough for 3 large container ships to berth at a time.
  • In 2004 was proposed an island to be made of silt (from the bay's channel dredging). The proposal suggested the island to be purely for residential development - car-free, and autonomous from the city as to power and water supplies.

Cruise ship terminal directions and parking

  • No public parking is available at the Station Pier terminal. Car parking is available at Ace Parking (location 43-53 Bay Street) for casual, long-term and cruise parking. Limited short‐term parking is available at the adjacent to the terminal Waterfront Place. Long-term parking is also available at Melbourne Airport.
  • Melbourne City maintains a network of scenic ride trams, which are also the most convenient way to travel to downtown from the cruise terminal at Station Pier. Route 109 tram goes to Box Hill. Its station is located at the end of Station Pier. The tram route goes through Port Melbourne, passes Crown Entertainment Complex and crosses Yarra River before turning right into Collins Str to Melbourne Town Hall and the city;s CBD.
  • For tram travel is required a myki card (ticket for local public transportation – trains, trams, buses). The plastic smart card can be purchased from Public Transport Victoria (counter at the terminal’s upper level). From downtown, travelers can connect with other trains, trams or buses by using the same myki card.
  • Know that myki cards must be validated by touching them on a green reader on the tram. They also must be validated upon entering a train station or boarding a tram/bus.
  • To return to Station Pier Cruise Terminal board any Route 109 westbound trams to Port Melbourne. Tram stops are located along Collins Str.
  • Most cruise ships also use one-way Cruise Express Bus (PTV shuttle service) from the terminal to downtown (Arts Centre on St Kilda Road). The bus shuttle operates from 8 am to 11.30 am. Like trams, buses use myki cards.
  • The last traveling option is taking a taxi (from the pier’s northern end).
  • The tram station is at 10 min walking distance from the terminal building. On ship call days also operates a wheelchair-accessible bus shuttle to Beacon Cove terminus.
  • From the main gate (security checkpoint) to the terminal building is ~ 1650 ft / 500 m. Cars are allowed on the pier only when dropping off passengers with disabilities. To pick up passengers with disabilities, the ship’s reception must be notified to pri-arrange the vehicle permit with the cruise terminal. The passenger’s name must be added to the main gate’s register. The driver must quote the passenger’s name to be allowed through the checkpoint. The driver must be contacted when the passenger is ready to be picked up (after clearing customs).

Port of Melbourne, beside its passenger (ferry and cruise ship) terminal also has facilities to handle cargo ships (vehicle carriers, bulk carriers and container vessels) and dry dock facilities for marine vessel refurbishments and repairs.

  • UN-LOCODE (United Nations location code) – AUMEL
  • supported by excellent road, rail and air infrastructure
  • deep water berths
  • sheltered harbor area
  • access unrestricted by tides
  • capability to accommodate 3 vessels at a time
  • The Melbourne cruise ship terminal doesn’t provide shore-to-ship power (shore-side electricity supply) which could reduce significantly the levels of emissions, noise and vibration in port.
  • The cruise port is accessible the whole year round – 24/7, 365 days a tear.
  • Cruise ships usually arrive in Melbourne in early morning (at 7, 8 or 9 am) or at 12 noon, and depart from Melbourne in late afternoon or early evening (at 4, 5, 6, 8 pm).
  • Curious fact is the Melbourne’s drinking water is reputed as the cleanest of any Australian city.
