Holiday Overview

Ship : Sapphire Princess®
Duration: 18 NIGHTS
Departure: 15 December 2027
Holiday Type: Cruise & Rail
Holiday code: AUS7765

From the romance of Indian Pacific to festive cheer elevated by Princess Cruises, this exceptional journey sweeps from Sydney to the Kimberley Coast and Bali.

Australia reveals itself from the window of Indian Pacific, as the landscape shifts from city fringe to vast, sunburnt plains over three unhurried nights. With meals and drinks taken care of, all that’s left is to settle in and watch the country unfold from one coast to the other. In Perth, a night in the city eases you into the next chapter.

Then the celebrations begin. Sapphire Princess^® carries you north along Australia’s western edge, with Christmas Day spent amid the rugged beauty of the Kimberley Coast. Overnights in Broome and Bali let you savour pearl-hued sunsets and island temples at an easy pace. Sailing home to Fremantle, you’ll welcome the New Year at sea beneath a canopy of stars.

Life on board the Indian Pacific

From exquisite fine dining to cosy cabins and sophisticated lounges, spend your days on board doing as much or as little as you like.

Overview

Indian Pacific

Part of Journey Beyond, the Indian Pacific travels across the breadth of southern Australia in incomparable style.

Throughout, there are a variety Off-Train Experiences to enjoy depending on which route you choose, including visits to Adelaide and her surroundings, the Blue Mountains, and Kalgoorlie so you can stretch your legs and explore the most remote corners of this inhospitable yet intensely welcoming land.

Off-Train Experiences are specific to your individual itinerary and will vary depending on the direction and duration of travel. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into the heart and soul of this vast and diverse continent, for specific details on your journey, please consult your holiday itinerary.
