Discover journeys as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. Scenic rail journeys travel in comfort through spectacular gorges and beautiful alpine landscapes; across the red sandy outback and through lush green tropical rainforests.
Big screen scenery rolls past through your panorama windows aboard one of New Zealand’s spectacular Tranzscenic Rail Journeys as they travel the coast and traverse the South Island. Enjoy a passing pageantry framed by the Kaikoura mountains and the winding east coast aboard the Tranzcoastal from Picton to Christchurch. Whilst the onward journey to Greymouth aboard the Tranzalpine delivers a scenic feast of pastoral plains, snow capped mountains, dramatic gorges and the South Island’s rugged West coast.
Relive Dunedin’s pioneering past aboard the Taieri Gorge Limited tourist train as it travels across wrought iron viaducts and through hand carved tunnels to climb the sheer cliffs and dramatic ravines which frame the tranquil Taieri River.
Experience the vastness of the famed Australian Outback aboard the Indian Pacific which bridges the nation east-west, or the legendary Ghan which bisects the country north-south. Both sleeper trains serve delicious meals and spectacular views, as a journey of contrasts unfolds. Meanwhile, Queensland’s Sunlander travels the popular east coast from Brisbane to Cairns - an endless string of golden beaches winding past an ever changing hinterland.
Alternatively, revel in the romance of rail without leaving the city. The Melbourne Colonial Tramcar Restaurant serves up a delicious combination of city highlights, colonial heritage and gourmet meals, as it cruises the city streets.
