Platinum Service is the newest level of luxury train travel in Australia. Platinum Service is normally only available on the Indian Pacific (between Adelaide and Darwin). But
for a limited season, Platinum Service is also available on the Indian Pacific from November 2009 to April 2010.
Sleeper Cabin (Twin or Double)
Each spacious cabin measures 3.65m x 2.1m, including ensuite bathroom - almost twice the size of the Indian Pacific's Gold Service cabins. Your cabin is a private lounge during the day with a moveable table and 2 ottomons, to offer plenty of room to entertain or to simply relax and enjoy the journey.
By night your private cabin converts to your choice of comfortable double or twin beds offering quality bedding. The interior radiates a true Australian character, finished in polished Tasmanian Myrtle and plush pile floor coverings. All cabins have a writing desk, ideally positioned next to the window, where you can enjoy the view in style or write a postcard to someone special. All ensuites are equipped with premium fittings, full size shower, vanity with cupboard space, mirror and toilet facilities.
An oversized panoramic window in your cabin offers you a unique perspective on the ever-changing Australian landscape. Admire views from both sides of the train, as each cabin features an additional interior window. Set the tone as you draw your roman blinds, dim the lights to your personal liking and settle in for the night with in-cabin entertainment. For your convenience and peace of mind each cabin offers a lockable door and in-cabin safe.

Due to cabin space constraints, it is recommended guests take an 'overnight bag' containing all requirements for their journey with them in their cabin and check-in all other luggage. Guests are permitted to check-in a maximum 40kg luggage free of charge (2 items not exceeding 20kg each).
Note: Checked-in luggage cannot be accessed during the journey.
Platinum Service guests travelling aboard the Indian Pacific dine in a beautifully decorated Queen Adelaide Restaurant Car. All meals are included in the Platinum Service fare. The enjoyment of fine food and wine combined with views across this vast, beautiful continent is an unrivalled experience.
Sample selections from our superb menus served to your table. The ever-changing menus feature a blend of Australian and International cuisine, cooked to perfection by our on-board chefs. Quality wines and beverages are available for purchase. Vegetarian, children's and some special dietary meals can be accommodated - please request these when you make your booking.
Note: breakfast packs will be delivered to cabins on some services to cater for early morning destination arrivals and off-train tour requirements.
