First-Class TranzAlpine South Island Rail Journey

Sit back and treat yourself to a whole host of tantalizing terrain types, on a magnificent ride across the South Island.

Originating in Christchurch, the route winds its way through alternative forms of fantastical scenery New Zealand has on offer. Passing by snow-topped peaks, mist-covered mountains, masses of tree-covered greenery and beautiful water, you might forget to check the train’s interior. 

The diverse and constantly changing landscapes may make you wonder whether you’ve left Earth and entered another world.
