GO Holidays - Cruise & Rail Australia

Celebrity Solstice® is one of our more decorated ships at sea. So it’s no wonder that it’s full of “firsts.” Like the first Lawn Club at sea and the first Hot Glass Show. Some other things that set Celebrity Solstice apart are its specialty restaurants. Celebrity’s passion for food has taken the restaurants, the food and the overall dining experience to a whole new level in the cruising world. But staterooms and specialty restaurants are only part of this ship’s charm. Celebrity Solstice also has the AquaSpa® by Elemis® and fitness centre, where you can pamper yourself with spa treatments or push yourself in a workout with one of our trainers.

Hungry for a dazzling at-sea experience that combines sleek swiftness, panoramic vistas and an array of dining options? Look no further than the newly renovated Radiance of the Seas®. With acres of glass enclosing the nine storey central atrium, lifts facing the sea and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, you’ll never be at a loss for an incredible view. Plus, we’ve just added seven new dining experiences, ranging from casual eats at the Boardwalk Doghouse, to family-style Italian fare at Giovanni’s Table, to the sizzling skewers of the Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. Play mini golf in the middle of the ocean, relax by the pool and watch a movie at the outdoor cinema. You can do it all onboard Radiance of the Seas®.

Experience the magic of Australia’s vast continent on the mighty Indian Pacific. The transcontinental train, is a three night journey from the Pacific Ocean in the East to the Indian Ocean in the West. Travelling between Sydney and Perth via Adelaide, the Indian Pacific covers 4,352 kilometers providing a spectacular array of backdrops including the Blue Mountains, the Great Dividing Range, the salt lakes and sand dunes of South Australia, the barren Nullarbor Plain and the Darling Ranges. Marvel as the landscapes change and the diverse wildlife is exposed. Spot kangaroos and a variety of bird life including the Wedge-tailed Eagle – the Indian Pacific’s emblem. Whether your final destination on the Indian Pacific is Perth or Sydney, you’ll have many opportunities to leave the train and take in some of the region’s highlights. This isn’t just one of the longest train journeys in the world, but also one of the most memorable.
