Northern Territory Tourism Board Press Release: May 16, 2025 Two luxury suites, the Australis Suite and the Aurora Suite, will debut on Australia’s leading luxury train, The Ghan, in April 2026. From April 2026, two new luxury suites, the Australis Suite and the Aurora Suite, will be introduced on The Ghan, a luxury train that travels 2,979 km from Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory, to Adelaide. These two new suites, which will be introduced on trains operated by Journey Beyond, offer an
unprecedented and special rail experience that allows you to fully experience Australia’s majestic nature with all five senses. Spending time surrounded by the utmost comfort while watching the magnificent scenery change in your room is the most luxurious way to experience the charm of Australia. Both suites are designed with plenty of space and each has a separate bedroom with a queen-size bed. The interior design is handled by the world-renowned design firm Woods Bagot. The interior design is based on Art Deco design, which creates an elegant atmosphere, and incorporates a design inspired by the Outback and the authentic Australian scenery seen from the train window into the space, creating an interior design that further enhances the excitement of the journey. The rooms are designed with a deep and sophisticated feel, and the attention to detail is apparent in the rooms. Decorative timber accents, stone and marble work, intricate ironwork and vaulted ceilings that evoke traditional cornices give the space a rich look. Additionally, in homage to Australia’s pastoral history, the design incorporates sheepskin accents and saddle leather, symbolizing the industrial role played by wool traders. In addition, Suite Class guests will be treated to Bollinger La Grande Année champagne throughout the entire journey, making the experience even more special. The sophisticated Australian hospitality is exemplified by the attentive and personal service provided by a dedicated butler. In your room, you will enjoy the ultimate comfort, including unpacking service, a pillow menu, a private bar selected according to your preferences, and in-room dining. In addition, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a special experience that will connect you to the charm of the land even after you get off the train.
