Orient Express presents the Australian exploration tour

Join the Orient Express “down under” this winter on a super-luxe, seven-night exploration tour. That’s right, the same company that brings you lavish train rides also offers luxurious travel packages. The expedition starts in Sydney, where you will be pampered at the colonial Observatory Hotel. Following a relaxing stay in town you’ll be driven to the five-star Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort and Spa. Through the windows of your quaint, historic country house lodgings you might be lucky enough to see rays of sunlight beaming through a blue haze above a canopy of ancient trees. Your adventure ends at the prestigious Tower Lodge Winery, in the Hunter Valley, where you can sample some of the finest wines Australia has to offer. The tour runs until March 31; rates start at $8,055 for two. For more information visit, www.orient-express.com.
