Rail & Sail Australia — No Passports, No Flying!
In November 2024, a group of 30 Champagne Travel clients embarked on a unique Rail and Sail adventure across Australia! Lisa and Courtney met the group in Sydney to ensure everything went smoothly (and to share in the fun, too!)
The adventure kicked off with an included coach transfer from Mandurah to Fremantle, where the group then boarded the Crown Princess for a 17-night Northern Explorer cruise.
After disembarking in Sydney, Lisa and Courtney welcomed the group and made sure everyone arrived safely and checked in at the Swissotel Sydney, perfectly located in the heart of the city!
Over the next few days, the group had the chance to experience some of Sydney’s best attractions, including a visit to Taronga Zoo, a buffet dinner at the top of Sydney Tower, and a harbour dinner cruise which was sure a highlight for all! Some even conquered the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, a thrilling way to see the city from above!
The group then boarded a coach to Sydney Central Station to begin the four day Indian Pacific train journey back to Perth. Upon arrival at East Perth Station, everyone was transferred back to Mandurah by coach, completing an unforgettable Rail and Sail adventure across Australia with no passports and no flying.
