Route: Adelaide to Darwin & vv

Have you ever wondered just how remote the Outback really is? The Ghan provides the perfect opportunity to travel the historic route of the first pioneers through the very heart of Australia. The fertile landscape surrounding Adelaide opens to the red-baked earth, sand hills and ancient, rugged McDonnell mountain ranges for a true taste of the Outback.

The mystical wonders of Uluru and Alice Springs await, before this spectacular journey continues to the tropical splendour of the Top End providing a fascinating contrast to the rugged Outback interior. Discovering Australia’s breathtaking wilderness is a spellbinding experience by rail aboard The Ghan.

Route: Perth to Sydney & vv

From the shores of the Indian Ocean to the Pacific coast, the Indian Pacific takes you on a transcontinental adventure like no other. Over five days and four nights, between Perth, Adelaide and Sydney this journey provides the opportunity to experience the vastness of Australia. From the Blue Mountains to the treeless Nullarbor plain, see unique landscapes unfold and spot a fascinating array of wildlife from the comfort of your cabin.      

Discover old mining towns and celebrated wine regions as you traverse the country in luxury. The Indian Pacific travels the width of this vast continent from Perth to Sydney via Adelaide taking in fascinating parched landscapes and the towering majesty of the Blue Mountains – a journey not to be missed.

What level of comfort should you choose?

Both the Indian Pacific and The Ghan are all inclusive journeys, but the level of service differs depending on whether you choose Gold or Platinum.

Gold Service - Compact and comfortable, Gold Service Twin Cabins offer an enjoyable way to experience a journey across this vast country. During the day, the cabins offer a three-seater lounge, converting to upper and lower sleeping berths at night. Relax in the Outback Explorer Lounge and mingle with your fellow guests then dine in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant. With its emphasis on fresh regional produce, this is sure to be a highlight of the journey.

Platinum Service - Stylishly appointed, spacious suites complemented by discreet, personalised service and world-class food and wine make this a very special travel experience.

Platinum guests enjoy premium extras like a full-size en suite, expansive window views from both sides of the train, and exclusive use of the Platinum Club carriage. You’ll also notice the Bollinger champagne, Australian Appelles Apothecary toiletries, a nightcap at turndown, luxuriously soft linen, and more … it’s this attention to detail that you’ll recall long after your journey’s end. By day, your cabin is configured as a private lounge with deluxe seating, a table and two ottomans. By night, you’ll enjoy a deep, comfortable sleep as the lounges convert into a comfortable bedroom with either a double or twin beds.

Head to the Platinum Club, featuring quartzite tabletops, timber flooring, brass fittings and leather banquette lounge seating in tones of ash, moss and sepia. The carriage offers a daytime lounge setting with adaptable dining options.

As you’d expect from a first-class service, the food and wine included in the Platinum Service is of the highest standard. Your fare includes hearty breakfasts, two-course lunches and four-course dinners. Vegetarian and special dietary meals are available when you make your booking. And, as a Platinum guest, the premium service level begins before you even board with private transfers included at the start and end of your journey in Adelaide, Sydney, Alice Springs and Perth within a 60-kilometre drive of the terminal.

Life on board Journey Beyond’s iconic trains just got a whole lot more luxurious with the addition of their new ultra-lavish cabins. Inspired by the ethereal light show of the southern hemisphere, Aurora & Australis Suites are designed to ignite your imagination and bring an elevated level of luxury to the popular Australian rail holidays.

These sophisticated suites join the Ghan, Indian Pacific and Great Southern in April 2026, as the first of their kind for Australian Rail. When staying in these suites you’ll have access to all the inclusions of Platinum, Gold Premium and Gold service as well as a more deluxe offering.
