Indian Pacific: An Epic Transcontinental Journey
Where the Indian Ocean meets the Pacific. At The Luxury Cruiser, we believe the vast, untamed beauty of the Australian outback is best experienced from the unparalleled comfort of a world-class luxury train. We are incredibly proud to partner with Journey Beyond Rail to offer our clients the iconic Indian Pacific—one of the world’s few truly transcontinental train journeys.
Perfectly paired with a luxury ocean cruise departing from the spectacular Sydney Harbour or the sun-drenched coast of Perth, the Indian Pacific sweeps you across 4,352 kilometres of breathtaking landscapes. From the towering peaks of the Blue Mountains to the vast, treeless expanse of the Nullarbor Plain, step aboard for an all-inclusive adventure you will never forget.
