Cruise Traveller is offering an exclusive 10-night ‘Australia by Paddlewheel and Locomotion’ package – available from June to November, 2022 when booked by 31 December 2021.
Combining a lazy, four-night cruise along the legendary Murray River aboard the only overnight passenger paddlesteamer on the river, the deluxe, 18-guest PS Emmylou, and a journey aboard the epic Indian Pacific train, the itinerary begins with a night’s accommodation in a five-star Melbourne hotel before a transfer to the Murray River town of Echuca to board the river boat. Visit wineries, historic farm stations, indigenous sites and the World Heritage-listed river red gum wetlands at Barmah.
After another five-star hotel stay back in Melbourne, guests will fly to Adelaide for a three-night stay in a five-star hotel with free time to explore the city before boarding the famous Indian Pacific train for an overnight journey to Sydney via the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains, where the train will stop for a local, included tour. Offering all-inclusive fine dining, wines and beverages, the Indian Pacific train is designed to rekindle the golden era of rail travel, with panoramic windows in sleeping cabins and the lounge and restaurant cars. The itinerary ends in Sydney.
Four departure dates are available in 2022 – June 26, July 31, September 18 and November 6.
Including a flight from Melbourne to Adelaide, meals and beverages on the Indian Pacific and meals and dinner beverages on PS Emmylou as well as transfers along the way, the 10-night ‘Australia by Paddlewheel and Locomotion’ package is available from $4995 per person, twin-share (June 26, 2022 departure).
