Classic Train Journeys, Train Travel Around the World

The Great South Pacific Express
The Great South Pacific Express provides an incomparable and luxurious way to explore Australia`s eastern seaboard from tropical Cains in the north through the sparkling beaches near Brisbane to cosmopolitan Sydney in the south.
Inspired by Australia`s Edwardian rail heritage the interiors are rich and polished, a dazzling mixture of craftsmanship and comfort, a perfect place to watch the diverse wildlife and landscape pass by.

In this world, the service is sublime and every detail has been burnished. As the light subsides, the hum of conversation rises. Here are dishes to beguile your palate and wines direct from heaven. This is a thoroughbred train, often 20 coaches long and quintessentially Australian. The provision of comfort far outstrips the past era. The entire train is air-conditioned. Spacious compartments complete with ensuite bathrooms convert into seductive bedrooms at night. There are restaurants, lounges, and one complete with a baby grand piano, a boutique, and an open-decked observation car.
