1. THE GHAN (Adelaide to Darwin) Keen to experience Australia's fiery Red Centre on what is considered one of the world's greatest rail journeys? The Ghan, steeped in history and romance, might be noted for its off-train experiences (enjoying the sunset at Uluru, wine tasting in the Clare Valley, cruising Katherine River in Nitmiluk National Park among them), but it's what's offered on-board for this 2795km, three-day, two-night trip that makes this a bucket-list regular. Choose between Gold Service and Platinum Service (the latter includes more luxurious private cabins plus a wealth of extras such as Bollinger, a nightcap at turndown and access to the Platinum Club lounge), or go to town and book one of the packages in the Chairman's Carriage. Regardless of your service level, you'll enjoy all-inclusive meals, fine wines, attentive service and memories to last a lifetime. Priced from $1919 per person.
