What is gold superior class on the Indian Pacific?

Gold Superior cabins feature a ? size double bed plus an additional fold down upper berth, lounge area, TV and DVD player, mini-bar and ensuite. Gold Access cabins are also available and exclusively reserved for the mobility impaired.



The "Gold Superior" class (now often marketed as Gold Premium) on Australia's Indian Pacific train is a luxury "mid-tier" service that offers significantly more space than a standard Gold cabin. In 2026, these newly designed contemporary cabins feature a three-quarter-size double bed and a fold-down upper berth, along with a dedicated lounge area equipped with armchairs and a table. This class provides a much more residential feel for the multi-day journey across the Nullarbor. Guests in this tier enjoy exclusive access to the Gold Premium Lounge and the Gold Premium Dining carriage, where regionally inspired four-course dinners and premium Australian wines are included. Additionally, "Superior" guests receive priority luggage check-in, 75kg of checked baggage allowance, and a higher level of in-cabin amenities, making it the premier choice for travelers who want more luxury than standard sleeper service but don't need the full "Platinum" experience.
