Prestige has doubled its collection of holiday options in Australia for 2020, with a 139 page brochure that features a variety of guided tours and wilderness experiences, new walking trips and more luxury lodges.
The operator has also added more hotels in New Zealand and has created a 13-day Trail of the Luminaries self-drive tour of the South Island to tie in with the BBC2?s new drama.
The Luminaries ? shot on location in New Zealand?s South Island, follows the major locations from the book and series. Departing in October, the holiday starts from ?3,655 and includes return economy flights from London Heathrow to Christchurch with Air New Zealand; a journey on the TranzAlpine train from Christchurch to Greymouth; 10 nights? accommodation (featuring stays in Hokitika where much of the filming took place) at Rimu Lodge and at Lakestone Lodge on Lake Pukaki, 10 days? car rental and a half-day Macetown 4WD gold rush tour from Queenstown. Price without flights is from ?2,215 per person.
Holidays lead in at ?1,599 per person for an eight-day road trip around Western Australia?s southwestern corner taking in the sunny city of Perth, the vineyards of Margaret River and the rugged coastline of Albany. The fly-drive package includes return flights from London Heathrow to Perth with Qantas, six nights room only accommodation, arrival transfers and car rental.
The tour operator has some seldom travelled alternatives as well. A great collection of guided breaks are available for wildlife lovers including the East Gippsland Wildlife Journey. Also new for 2020 is a seven day Tasmanian Wildlife and Wilderness Encounter.
Those who love walking itineraries, can choose from the 'Great Walks of Australia' ? a guided collection of four-day hikes with accommodation in houseboats, glamping tents, luxury lodges and more.
Offered between September and May, the 34 mile Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk ? is an incredible way to discover the shipwreck coastline and iconic rock formations of the Twelve Apostles. This dramatic walk ends with a helicopter flight over the Twelve Apostles.
Independent travellers can go for the new 14-day Australia Deep South tour which takes in the sunny city of Perth and Margaret River before a rail-journey on the Indian Pacific to Adelaide. Travellers will join a select group tour, via the coastal scenery of the Great Ocean Road, to Melbourne.
The package leads in at ?3945 per person including flights from London Heathrow to Perth and from Melbourne to Heathrow (November departure), room only hotel accommodation, three days fully inclusive car rental, transfers from the Perth hotel to the train station, Gold Service aboard the Indian Pacific train and a three day group tour between Adelaide and Melbourne.
