In one of its most comprehensive offerings to date, Journey Beyond has combined not one, but two legendary rail journeys—The Ghan and the Indian Pacific—with a cruise provided by ultra-luxury cruise line Silversea Cruises.
The 28-day Ultimate West by Land and Sea itinerary circles half of Australia in an unusual way. With just one departure scheduled for 2024, this special offering is an exceptional chance. In search of the ultimate adventure and breathtaking scenery, the Silversea Kimberley cruise from Perth to Darwin combines the best of both worlds by travelling across the Nullarbor to Perth and along Western Australia’s coast. Visitors will travel to a variety of Australia’s most famous locations, from the bustling cities of Sydney and Perth to the untamed Kimberley and on through The Red Centre to Australia’s spiritual centre.
David Donald, Executive General Manager of Rail Expeditions at Journey Beyond, claims that “this incredible experience explores the most remote reaches of Australia.” The Ghan and Indian Pacific are two legendary voyages, and combining them with Silversea’s luxury cruising ensures that our visitors will have an authentic Australian experience that will give them a fresh perspective on some of the most remote areas of the nation. It’s a really unique odyssey.
Leading ultra-luxury expedition cruise line Silversea Cruises is famous for its all-inclusive offerings and unrivalled repertoire. The tiny ships offered by Silversea are made for travellers who enjoy luxury travel and the thrill of exploration. All ships provide roomy suites with ocean views and butler service, and the majority of them have private verandas so that guests can enjoy champagne on their deck while taking in the scenery.
According to Adam Radwanski, managing director of Silversea Cruises Asia-Pacific, “Silversea Cruises offers adventures to the world’s amazing destinations, and the Kimberley is a tremendously popular destination. We are excited to work with Journey Beyond to provide this unique and unusual adventure for discriminating tourists looking for an immersive and genuine experience of Australia.
