Australia's iconic rail journey, The Ghan Expedition, is set to introduce new luxury suites in 2026. This development comes as part of the ongoing trend towards luxury train travel. The Ghan has been operating for 96 years and covers a route between Darwin in the Northern Territory and Adelaide in South Australia.

The train offers an experience devoid of modern distractions like Wi-Fi or TVs, allowing passengers to focus on the amenities and scenery. Two new suite options, Aurora and Australis, will be available for booking in 2026. The Australis Suite is three times larger than the current Platinum Cabin, while the Aurora Suite is twice its size.

"Both suites feature separate bedrooms with queen-size beds dressed in luxury bed linens," offering premium Jurlique amenities and personalized services such as butler service and private chauffeur transfers. Passengers can enjoy an in-suite bar stocked with their preferences and Champagne Bollinger La Grande Annee throughout their journey.

Prices for a three-day journey start at $11,890 per person for the Australis Suite and $7,990 per person for the Aurora Suite. Bookings are now open for journeys from April 2026 at Journey Beyond.
