Illustration of Indian Pacific

Fred. Holidays operates the Indian Pacific, a luxury sleeper train that crosses the full width of Australia from Perth on the Indian Ocean to Sydney on the Pacific Ocean. The journey takes three nights in the westbound direction or four nights eastbound, following a route that passes through Kalgoorlie, the Nullarbor Plain, the remote ghost town of Cook with a population of four, Broken Hill in the Outback, and the Blue Mountains. Travelers sleep in wood-panelled sleeper cabins fitted with lounge areas and large windows to view the landscape. The train features all-inclusive meals and dining throughout the journey. Optional off-train experiences allow passengers to explore Adelaide, Broken Hill, and the Blue Mountains in greater depth. This journey suits luxury seekers who want to travel across an vast, remote continent without leaving their cabin, and couples looking for an immersive, all-inclusive escape.
