6. The Ghan

The Ghan is the Australian luxury passenger train running between Adelaide and Darwin. The history runs back to 1929 when it began as a narrow-gauge train. In 1980, the train was immensely modified to accommodate travelers. In 2001, the Ghan was re-introduced as a contemporary tourism section serving a few of the greatest train journeys of all times.

The train offers three unique itineraries: Adelaide to Darwin, Adelaide to Alice Springs and Darwin to Alice Springs. Onboard of the Ghan you will find sumptuous dining, elegant private cabins, attentive service, and the camaraderie of your fellow travellers. And when the train stops, the adventures really begin. You have the possibility to choose from a huge range of included off-train experiences to create your own rich and rewarding personal journey through Australia’s outback and beyond. In addition to the comfort of the beautiful cabin onboard of the Great Southern Rail train, you’ll be pleased by sumptuous cuisine, fine wines, and camaraderie in our dining carriages.

The Ghan concentrates on offering a holistic vacation rather than only a luxury train ride. Beginning from amenities to exclusive panoramic paths, Ghan provides the perfect relaxation vacation starting from $2,889. Stepping aboard of this train will be an unforgettable experience and a real Australian adventure.
