The Princess & The Ghan

Cruising from Fremantle up the west coast of WA on Crown Princess to Darwin, then joining The Ghan for the inland luxury train journey south to Adelaide is a brilliant idea.

And Holidays of Australia have packaged that up into a 14-day, 13-night trip leaving Freo on October 18, 2026. It is from $9769 per person.
