The Ghan journey showcases the diversity of this island continent, with inclusive Off Train Experiences in Marla (northbound) to witness an outback sunrise, in Manguri (southbound) to gaze at the outback stars, Alice Springs in the Red Centre and Katherine for its spectacular ancient gorge system and outback lifestyle.
- 3 days / 2 nights aboard The Ghan, travelling from Adelaide to Darwin

- A regionally-inspired menu paired with a selection of local wines
- Immersive Off Train Experiences in Marla, Alice Springs, and Katherine
- Cruise the Nitmiluk Gorge or learn more about Katherine’s ancient Indigenous rock paintings
Alice Springs: Begin with a freshly brewed coffee or juice as the day dawns at Marla, an outback outpost in the remote reaches of South Australia. It is here, deep inland, that you will enjoy a one of a kind experience, as you watch the desert come to life at sunrise. All aboard for brunch as you make your way through the MacDonnell Ranges to Alice Springs where a choice of Off Train Excursions awaits. Alice is an iconic Red Centre outpost. 1,500 kilometres from the nearest major city, it may be remote, but offers plenty to explore – home to doctors who fly, rivers that run dry, and a cast of colourful characters. Your time in the ‘capital out of the outback’ offers numerous opportunities to explore its historic legacy and unique environment.
Katherine: Your day dawns in the tropical north. The pristine wilderness of Katherine is stirring and powerful, and you’ll have the chance to explore it from the water on an Off Train Experience. Cruise the jaw-dropping Nitmiluk Gorge, learn more about its ancient Indigenous rock paintings and gain insight into the culture of the traditional owners of Nitmiluk, the Jawoyn people. As evening falls, arrive in Darwin to complete your epic Australian journey.
Marla (northbound): Set foot in the remote reaches of South Australia to witness an unforgettable outback sunrise for this early morning stop.
Manguri (southbound): Cast your eyes skyward for an amazing showcase of outback stars when guests disembark for this evening stop after dinner.

When it’s time for lunch, savour the regionally-inspired menu accompanied by a selection of all-inclusive wines and beverages, before an early afternoon arrival at the Top End township of Katherine. Take a relaxing cruise through Nitmiluk Gorge’s ancient natural wonders and exploring the region’s rich Indigenous culture. Enjoy dinner as the sun sets over the outback, then back in your cabin you’ll find your bed turned down. Fall asleep as the train rolls soothingly onwards..
Alice Springs: After your first night on The Ghan, you’ll be greeted by a morning view of the spectacular Red Centre. A full day of excursions awaits you in the outback town of Alice Springs. An optional upgrade is a scenic flight to Uluru, returning in time to meet the rest of your fellow guests at a spectacular barbeque dinner under a million stars at the historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station.
