Step aboard one of the world’s greatest rail journeys with Journey Beyond Rail’s Indian Pacific – an all-inclusive, cross-continental experience that redefines slow travel in the best way. Spanning from Perth to Sydney (or vice versa), this is more than just a train ride: it’s a moving window into Australia’s most striking landscapes, from dusty outback plains to the rolling peaks of the Blue Mountains.

Named after the two oceans it links – the Indian and the Pacific – the Indian Pacific offers a rare opportunity to see the sheer scale and diversity of Australia unfold before you, all from the comfort of a luxuriously appointed cabin. It’s not just the full transcontinental route that impresses either. With flexible journey options including Perth to Adelaide, Adelaide to Sydney, or the full Sydney to Perth crossing (or in reverse), there’s something here for both bucket-list travellers and those looking to add a unique chapter to a wider Australian itinerary.

Each itinerary includes immersive off-train experiences – think wine tasting in the Barossa Valley, outback dining under a canopy of stars, exploring historic gold rush towns, and more. On board, you’ll enjoy elegant cabins with ensuite bathrooms, seasonal dishes created by onboard chefs, free-flowing Australian wines, and warm, intuitive service that captures the spirit of the country.

Whether you’re watching the landscape melt into the horizon from the window of your Platinum cabin, or clinking glasses with fellow guests in the Outback Explorer Lounge, this is a journey that invites you to slow down and soak it all in. And with Swords guiding your route from start to finish – including bespoke pre- and post-train extensions – this epic rail adventure becomes entirely your own.
