The journey is as much in the moment and experience as in the destination. That’s why so many trips in the Constellation Journeys collection offer special modes of transport. And with four days aboard the iconic Indian Pacific, ‘Go West’ is no exception.

​

Join us on this indulgent sojourn to Western Australia before travelling back east aboard the fabulous Indian Pacific train.

​

Together we shall sample the epicurean delights of the Margaret River region before reacquainting ourselves
with Perth and nearby Fremantle, as well as the unique Rottnest Island.

​

Stepping aboard the legendary Indian Pacific we evoke the romanticism of yesteryear with an epic journey across Australia. Whether you choose Gold Class or Platinum Class you will be well accommodated in beautifully appointed cabins. Enjoy the splendour of regionally inspired meals in the dining car, accompanied by excellent wine and beverages.

​

We pass through fascinating places along the way, including the gold mining tour of Kalgoorlie – home to one of the world’s largest open cut gold mines. A detour in the arid Nullabor shows us the edge of a 2.5 million acre sheep farm

​

Fremantle

With its narrow streets and charming shopfronts, Fremantle has the atmosphere of a laidback artists town. We’ll take a guided walking tour, soaking up some of the history before stopping off for lunch at a local restaurant.

Return to the Ritz-Carlton this afternoon, perhaps book in for a spa treatment (additional cost) or explore the nearby waterfront at your leisure.

We enjoy our final dinner at a picturesque location on the Swan River this evening.

​

Perth and Kalgoorlie

Your journey from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean begins as you pull away from the platform in Perth mid-morning. Settle into your comfortable cabin and get to know the creature comforts of life onboard. Enjoy a modern Australian lunch as you glide through the picturesque rolling hills of the Avon Valley. After a relaxing afternoon onboard, enjoy a dinner prior to our evening arrival in the wild west township of Kalgoorlie. We’ll visit the ‘Super Pit’, the world’s largest single open cut mining operation that continues to recover the precious metal that drives the towns economy.

​

Nullarbor Plain 

Awake to the spectacular expanse of the Nullarbor Plain to watch the sunrise. Be captivated by the big blue skies and ancient stillness of the desert landscape, broken only by a mob of friendly kangaroos. Waiting ahead is the charm of the once-thriving Nullarbor railway community – now ghost town – of Cook.

Sit back and relax as the train continues its trek across the longest single stretch of railway in the world. Another mouth-watering dinner is followed by relaxed conversation in the lounge before a restful night’s sleep.

With Constellation Journeys there’s always someone to share in the joy of travel. Whether it’s over lunch or a drink before dinner, you never need feel alone – unless of course it’s a moment of quiet

reflection you are looking for.

your holiday.

We have secured a limited number of single cabins to keep the single supplement as low as possible. For guest who would like to share with another traveller please contact us.
