The Southern Spirit

Introducing The Southern Spirit

The Southern Spirit is for those who expect more, want to see more, experience more. It is for those who view travel as they view life, not only for the destinations, but for the journey that can be savoured along the way.

New and unique in Australia, this outback rail adventure allows you to see and experience more of the most breathtaking sights Australia has to offer.

On board, guests will experience travel in complete comfort combined with unparalleled personal attention, in either Platinum or Gold Service. Sumptuous meals are included, served en route in our Queen Adelaide
Restaurant. Select Australian wines are complimentary with lunches and dinners.

Each journey incorporates a series of wayside stops and off train excursions visiting some of Australia’s most sought out destinations, both
on and off the beaten track. These exclusive tours are designed so you can pause and savour the essence of Australia as The Southern Spirit winds its way through a rich tapestry of landscapes. All meals on excursions are included.
