If you're yet to travel aboard the Indian Pacific, we'd highly suggest you add this train journey to your bucket-list of travel ideas. A journey aboard the iconic Indian Pacific will whisk you between Perth, Adelaide and Sydney in comfort and style. With epic transcontinental crossings between the Indian and Pacific oceans, step onboard for an all-inclusive train holiday you’ll never forget. When you board the Indian Pacific, you are suspended in time in a luxurious silver chariot whilst traversing in the nation’s proud history & awe-inspiring landscapes. Depending on the season, you could glide through pockets of snow, and a desert bigger than most European countries as you pass through some of the biggest sheep stations in the world past tiny pioneer towns. Enriching your already inspiring train excursion are several Off Train Experiences that give you an opportunity to encounter some of the country’s most fascinating locations steeped in history, culture, and genuine pinch-me moments.


Whichever direction you choose to venture with the Indian Pacific, your journey will always include the following:
  • 4 days / 3 nights aboard the Indian Pacific in Gold Service or Platinum Service, including all-inclusive dining, fine wines, beverages & Off Train Experiences.
  • Although the Indian Pacific is most well-known for its Perth to Sydney (and vice versa), itinerary, the Indian Pacific also hosts a shorter journey from Adelaide to Perth & vice versa. With timeless travel between two great cities, experience the tremendous beauty of the Nullarbor on this epic 3 day / 2 night adventure.
  • From the mountains to the sparkling coast, you’ll discover a world of wonders as you travel between Sydney & Adelaide (or vice versa), which is an another alternative if you’d prefer a shorter train ride. 
So what is the difference between Gold or Platinum Service on board? Whichever level of service you choose to travel in on your journey aboard the Indian Pacific, it will endeavour to meet and exceed your expectations with all-inclusive sumptuous cuisine, fine wines, warm hospitality, and a world of romance. By embarking on this transcontinental journey, you’ll be following in the footsteps of those who have dared to venture beyond the city limits – the legendary adventurers, goldrush prospectors and bush pioneers who forged their lives in Australia’s spectacular yet unforgiving interior.
