Ghan luxury train unveils ultra-high-end Aurora Australis Suites

Australia’s iconic Ghan train has introduced the Aurora Australis Suites, a premium accommodation tier designed by Woods Bagot and priced from about $13,350 per passenger.

Journey Beyond’s Ghan luxury train has launched its top-level Aurora Australis Suites, a new class of cabin with private sleeping quarters, custom beds and lavish en-suite facilities. Designed by the award-winning Woods Bagot studio and manufactured in South Australia, the suites command prices starting at about $13,350 per traveller and are already booked through March. The Ghan, which traverses the 1,851-mile route between Darwin and Adelaide, continues to provide all-inclusive meals, bar service and scenic windows.

In addition to the new suites, the operator will debut a full northbound itinerary next year, allowing passengers to explore the Flinders Ranges, Marla, Alice Springs and Katherine over four days. The launch reflects growing demand for high-end rail experiences among affluent travellers seeking both comfort and adventure in remote Australian landscapes.

Why it matters

The new suites signal expanding luxury tourism options on Australia's iconic transcontinental train.
