This luxury, coast-to-coast journey is a great way to see the highlights of Australia, complete with an epic transcontinental crossing and luxury hotel stays.

The trip connects Western Australia with the iconic sights of Sydney, Melbourne and Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands, the gateway to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. You’ll begin on the far edge of the Indian Ocean in and around Perth, where you can indulge with river cruises and private wine tasting under the sunshine. Visit pockets of paradise including Rottnest Island and the beautiful Margaret River, before boarding the Indian Pacific for your adventure along the world’s longest stretch of straight railway.

For four days and three nights, travel west to east from Perth to Sydney, exploring Australia's outback in style to see plenty of hidden gems. Along the way, you'll explore the old railway ghost town of Cook, enjoy a tasting tour of Adelaide’s Central Markets and marvel at the rugged landscape of the Blue Mountains.

Disembark in Sydney and spend a few days admiring the Opera House and relaxing with a Harbour dinner cruise. In Melbourne, the coastal capital of Victoria, visit trendy neighbourhoods and tour the Yarra valley wine region. Your trip culminates in Hamilton Island, one of the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, where the Great Barrier Reef and breathtaking Whitehaven Beach await.
