Tracking the ocean on board the Indian Pacific

The Indian Pacific is a transcontinental train that travels a vast amount of the southern coast of Australia from the Indian Ocean on the western shore to the Pacific Ocean on the east. Routed across the Nullarbor Plain, a flat, arid expanse of southern Australia, the Indian Pacific travels on the longest stretch of railway track in the world. The train includes 30 carriages and is adorned with a wedge-tail eagle, Australia’s largest bird of prey, to symbolise the distance of the journey that the Indian Pacific travels.

Onboard, both the Platinum and the Gold class cabin tickets are all-inclusive; this means gourmet meals prepared in the Queen Adelaide Restaurant by professional chefs and a complimentary selection of wines, boutique beers, and other beverages. If you choose to travel as a Platinum guest, you will have access to the Platinum Club where you will be served three five-course meals per day.
