Gold Premium tickets for 2024 on The Ghan and Great Southern are already on sale, according to Journey Beyond. With premium amenities and modern Australian cabin and carriage designs, Gold Premium, which sits between Gold and Platinum, is more than just a cabin. To offer interior design that combines a true sense of location, a crucial component throughout Journey Beyond’s experiences, Journey Beyond hired international design firm Woods Bagot.
Since they carried out an upgrade to the Platinum carriages across the train fleet in 2019, Woods Bagot has had a relationship with the trains. The design company has created best-in-class lodging with Gold Premium, whose colour scheme is inspired by the deep hues of Arrernte painter Albert Namatjira’s breathtaking landscapes. Consider upholstery with Indigenous designs that evoke the Australian bush together with walnut wood and polished brass accents. The Gold Premium Twin cabin has premium facilities in the en-suite bathroom, high-quality linen prepared for the comfy lounge seat to convert to a sleeper each evening, and a few unexpected treats to entertain passengers along the way.
A Gold Premium Suite option is also available. With a bit more room to roam around in, this cabin class offers the same advantages as Gold Premium. A fold-down upper sleeper, a three-quarter-size double bed, and a sitting area are all included in the cabin.
Exclusive access to the Gold Premium Lounge, the ship’s social centre, is provided with both Gold Premium stateroom classes. The modern lounge has swivel chairs and luxurious leather banquettes, and mood lighting creates an elegant atmosphere that alludes to the romance of train travel. Here, visitors can relax while sipping on a variety of high-end drinks.
Another option is Gold Premium Dining, which is a feast in many ways. The modern carriage design honours Art Deco and provides a backdrop for meals that have been thoughtfully chosen. The sumptuous four-course dinners and hearty four-course lunches served here use the finest products from regional producers, farmers, and suppliers. Naturally, there is a selection of fine wines and beverages on the accompanying wine list.
Highlights of Gold Premium include:
Exclusive access to the Gold Premium Lounge and Gold Premium Dining in a freshly constructed, modern cabin that transforms from a lounge to sleeping berths at night
Lunches of two courses with a regional theme and evenings of four courses
Premium Australian wines, beers, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks included in the price
