5Relaxing cruise highly recommended.
We all really enjoyed this cruise. It was interesting to see the homes and learn the history of Perth. The captain's commentary, wine and snacks were a bonus.

4Great cruise online booking nightmare
The cruise was great and the staff (crew) were absolutely wonderful. The woman who verified my ticket at Fremantle was also very helpful and sorted out our booking. I have to say the online booking process is atrocious. I selected Fremantle to Perth, when checking a day later it had reversed travel, changed back to my preference of Fremantle departure and paid to lock in. I did this because I received an email to say my departure was from Perth. Checked day before departure and back to departure from Perth! Called Viator who contacted Capt Cook Cruises who sent an eticket. Still kept receiving emails advising departure was from Perth. Eticket had a different departure point in Fremantle than website! I called Viator morning of cruise and they confirmed the two departure points were actually the same! When we arrived at departure point I went to the Capt Cook office at Fremantle wharf to check all was okay only to find out my eticket was not activated (even though I tried online and it appeared I had nothing to activate) so the lovely woman printed me out a ticket to board. As I said, great cruise but the hassle with Viator booking system and the app caused a great deal of stress. Please do the cruise but go to a booking office or call and speak with a human.

We had a nice relaxing cruise. We weren’t advised where to meet the boat. We also had trouble hearing the commentary on the cruise

About Perth
Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.
Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Perth: Margaret River, Swan River, Rottnest Island.
