The joys of slow travel were on display this week at the launch of Entire Rail Journeys’ new brochure within the opulent surroundings of the QVB Tea Room in Sydney.
The 80-page publication showcases more than 65 independent rail packages ranging from one to 16 nights across Europe, North America, Africa, Asia and Australia.
Print and digital versions of the brochure are available and agents are welcome to use a new dedicated phone line and email ([email protected]) to connect with consultants. Agents can also use a tour code to access departure dates and additional information on Entire Travel Group’s website.
Details of each of the rail journeys are available in the brochure, including itineraries, maps, highlights, prices and inclusions, along with details on dining and cabin options.

“We called upon some of the industry’s most experienced rail experts to create Entire Rail Journeys, including Sana Malihi, the driving force behind the ground-breaking Rail Plus Great Train Journeys program,” said Sales and Marketing Director, Greg McCallum.
“That initiative dramatically elevated the profile of great rail journeys in Australia but, like many programs, it did not survive the pandemic. “We are delighted to now take over as the standard bearer in Australia for epic rail adventures.”
Some of the epic rail journeys featured in the 2024/25 brochure include:
- The Alaska Railroad (North America)
- The Blue Train (South Africa)
- Rovos Rail (Africa)
- El Transcántabrico Gran Lujo, Costa Verde Express, El Expreso de la Robla, and Al Andálus (Spain)
- Orient Silk Road Express (Central Asia)
- The Ghan, Indian Pacific and Great Southern (Australia).
More than 120 attendees were at the glamorous soiree, where they heard from representatives of some of the suppliers within the 2024/2025 program.
These included Golden Eagle Luxury Trains, Belmond, Rocky Mountaineer, Swiss Scenic Trains, and VIA Rail Canada.
While enjoying a three-course dinner, guests were also serenaded by saxophone versions of pop songs by Destiny’s Child, Sia and Ed Sheeran.
