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.
- 4 days / 3 nights aboard the Indian Pacific in Gold Service or Platinum Service, including all-inclusive dining, fine wines, beverages & Off Train Experiences.
