Two iconic Australian experiences – The Kimberley Cruise and The Ghan – unite

This pairing promises access to an unforgettable cruise and rail experience that showcases the best of Australia’s red centre and remote wilderness landscapes.
Delivered by two leaders in Australian travel, guests from home and abroad are guaranteed an immersive adventure into the breathtaking natural landscapes, rich culture and heritage of Australia. From Adelaide, north into the vast expanses of central Australia to Darwin, and then westwards along the rugged coastline of the Kimberley into Broome, this journey delivers unparalleled access to some of the most awe-inspiring destinations on the planet.
“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Journey Beyond with the inclusion of our Kimberley cruise product into the rail program from 2025,” said Jeff Gillies, Commercial Director at Coral Expeditions. “This brings together two bucket-list Australian experiences delivered by proud and long-standing experts in Australian travel and tourism”.
Justine Lally, Executive General Manager – Marketing & Product for Journey Beyond says, ”We’re excited to be able to offer this fantastic Kimberley Pioneer and Ghan train and cruise package in 2025 that takes in so many incredible places and experiences. Journey Beyond and Coral Expeditions share a strong connection with and respect for the remote and rugged landscapes of this country, and this pairing will offer guests an authentic Australian journey of discovery.”
Coral Expeditions’ small-ship cruises are renowned for their intimacy, quality and focus on immersive expedition cruising, complementing The Ghan’s journey through the heart of Australia, which includes immersive off train experience. Departures are available across a wide range of dates and in premium class categories, offering great access and choice for guests and agents.
There’s more on the horizon, with Coral Expeditions and Journey Beyond joining forces to offer exclusive experiences that pair Coral Expeditions with Outback Spirit’s small-group tours. This will see land-based touring through northern Australia connecting with expedition cruise options for the Great Barrier Reef and Cape York departing from Cairns; Arnhem Land and Kakadu departing from Darwin; and the Kimberley and Northwest departing from Broome.
