Rail and Cruise Holidays Australia

Tagline here

Rail & Cruise holidays bring together two of Australia’s most iconic ways to travel: long-distance rail and extended coastal cruising. When rail schedules align with cruise departures, the result is a rare style of holiday that allows travellers to experience Australia’s vast interior and dramatic coastline in one seamless journey.

On this page you’ll find a curated selection of Rail & Cruise packages that combine transcontinental rail journeys with carefully matched cruise itineraries. Some itineraries focus on crossing Australia coast to coast, while others include time in regions such as Margaret River or Northern Australia, creating a more rounded travel experience.

Stress free, budgeted, & well organised
Thank you Phillip for organising our 7 night interstate holiday in the Northern Territory. We found our holiday not only stress free, budgeted but very comfortable, and well organised. Our holiday was fantastic and tailored well to our wants. Detailed particulars, insights and support given in planning and during our holiday by Phillip were amazing.

Made the whole process easy
We recently returned from a holiday to Phuket. Philip organised all our flights, connections, transfers etc and made the whole process so easy! The service was so good - about 1 week prior to leaving, we received an email with ALL relevant paperwork located in the one email (we’d been emailing back and forth for a while) which seriously just got us so organised. Extremely happy with the service and would definitely use Philip again for our next trip.

Tasmania Tour 2025
We had a wonderful 20 days in Tasmania thanks to you. By pre booking our trip with you and your company, we were able to travel to each stay with ease knowing that our accommodation was secure and even better when we got there and found the standard of most was better than expected. Thank you for all your assistance and being so accommodating with our requirements, we will certainly recommend you to anyone we know that is looking at booking a holiday.

Amazing Travel Agent!
While we were probably difficult clients with ever changing demands, Philip was very accommodating and sorted a fantastic holiday for us!He was always able to offer alternative options to us to plan our Honeymoon of 6 weeks in Europe.

Best travel agent I have used
Philip has helped us with three cruises now, along with associated tours, flights and accommodation. Philip is always super fast to respond to queries, making life easier if things go awry. Philip also knows our preferences and sends us details of holidays that match our needs. I highly recommend using a travel agent to book cruises. And as Philip is the best travel agent I have used, I highly recommend you use him.

A life changing journey
I’ve known Philip for many years, which only strengthens my view. He turned my complex South America plans into a seamless, life-changing journey. His dedication is unmatched – even on his family holiday, he paused celebrations to finalise a last-minute cruise booking for a client. That says it all. I wholeheartedly recommend Holidays Beckon.
