Step aboard The Ghan for an extraordinary all-inclusive four-day rail odyssey, travelling in Gold Premium through Australia's dramatic outback from Darwin to Adelaide.
Operating March to November, this legendary journey takes you deep into the heart of the continent, where rust-red horizons stretch endlessly beneath star-studded skies.
As you glide southward in your luxurious cabin, appointed in the rich palette of the landscapes that inspired Albert Namatjira's iconic paintings, you'll discover the true spirit of the outback. Stop to explore the ancient landscapes of Katherine Gorge and immerse yourself in the living Indigenous culture at Nitmiluk. In Alice Springs, savour an unforgettable dinner under the stars at the historic Telegraph Station, while the mysterious underground world of Coober Pedy reveals its opal-mining heritage.
Your Gold Premium experience elevates rail travel to an art form. By day, your private cabin serves as an elegant retreat; by night, it transforms into a cosy sleeping sanctuary. The exclusive Gold Premium Lounge beckons with its sophisticated ambience, where you'll swap stories with fellow travellers over premium Australian wines. In the dining car, each meal becomes a celebration of regional flavours, from hearty breakfasts to four-course dinners showcasing the finest local ingredients.
This isn't just a journey between cities – it's an all-inclusive expedition through the heart and soul of Australia, where every moment from sunrise to starlight is crafted to create memories that will last a lifetime.
