Great Journeys New Zealand
Great Journeys New Zealand takes you on a picture-perfect journey through the heart of the country.
From sleeping volcanoes to cascading waterfalls, sparkling cities to quaint rural farmsteads, golden beaches to snow-capped mountains. We’ll bring the best of New Zealand’s famous scenery to your window while you sit back and relax.
From single-day rail journeys, Scenic Plus dining experience to short break packages and fully guided tours. From iconic landmarks and new perspectives to incredible landscapes and deeper connections, Great Journeys New Zealand provides a way to effortlessly enjoy a more immersive and distinctive Aotearoa New Zealand experience. A journey that moves you in rhythm with this place.
With the recently launched app and free on-board wifi, you can now ‘work’ your way up to Auckland to attend your next business event.

Our Scenic Class carriages are designed to make everyone feel comfortable. So if you are travelling on our Northern Explorer, Coastal Pacific or TranzAlpine trains with a wheelchair, powerchair or mobility scooter, then you can sit in one of our specially designed wheelchair spaces in the spacious and convenient Scenic Cafe carriage.
