YOUR ONBOARD EXPERIENCE
ALL NEW, ALL-INCLUSIVE
In 2025, Vintage Rail Journeys has an exciting and important difference, all our journeys will be all-inclusive. From start to finish, each journey will still have the same fun and flare guests have come to expect, but now when you step aboard you can completely relax, knowing everything has been considered. From food, wine, tea & coffee, to a range of curated tours. Let us take care of you during the journey, all you’ll need to do is decide what to eat and which Off Train Experience to join.

YOUR CABIN AWAITS
Vintage Rail Journeys is proud to share our passion for Australian railway history. These carriages have been lovingly restored to their original 1960’s style and condition, and we hope you love the experience.
Rail travel really is the most relaxed way to enjoy Australia. Whether you are watching the scenery roll by from the comfort of your private cabin, or taking a short walk to the lounge and dining carriages to enjoy the company of your fellow guests.
Our itineraries are designed so the majority of our travel is during daylight hours. We are stabled for most of the night so you can enjoy a restful sleep. Your carriage will have a dedicated Hospitality Attendant who will be on hand to assist, answer your questions or make you a cuppa.
