13-Nights Australia North: Kakadu, Kimberley & the Outback from $19,495

Explore Ancient Landscapes & Cross the Red Desert on The Ghan Luxury Train

Journey to the back of beyond on a singular itinerary that connects three of Australia’s most remote tracts of wilderness. In the vast Red Center, watch the sun set over the monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock), and wonder at more stars than you've ever seen before. From Alice Springs, board The Ghan for the storied train passage across the desert to Katherine up north. Then head for the "Top End" of the Land Down Under—the tropical reaches of the Outback. With interpretation from our Expedition Leader and Aboriginal guides, delve into the watery wilderness of Kakadu, thick with crocodiles. Fly on to the Kimberley, where the beehive stacks of the Bungle Bungle Range form an otherworldly landscape. In Australia's far-flung north, the Dreamtime shapes primal terrain where human cultures have been integrated with the land for more than 65,000 years.
