Day 1 - Thursday: All aboard the Elvis Festival Train
Today, you step into a bygone era of golden-age rail travel as you depart from Sydney Central Station aboard the Elvis Festival Train. From the moment you board, the rhythm of rock and roll begins to build. Settle into your private, recently restored cabin and meet your fellow festival-goers as the train leaves behind city skylines.
Linger over a relaxed onboard lunch in the Dining Carriage, with seasonal produce and regional wines served by our onboard crew. As the scenery of the Blue Mountains rolls past your window, wander to the Lounge Carriage for live entertainment and toe-tapping classics from the King himself.
As dusk falls, enjoy a multi-course welcome dinner prepared by our onboard chefs. Then, raise a glass in the Lounge — the spirit of Elvis is already alive and well on board. (L, D)
Day 2 - Friday: All shook up in Parkes
Awaken to a hearty breakfast onboard before the train shunts to the platform at Parkes Station. After disembarking mid-morning, you’ll spend the entire day immersed in the Parkes Elvis Festival — one of the most iconic celebrations of the King anywhere in the world.
From street parades and live performances to themed events and pop-up stages, Parkes transforms into a buzzing hub of sequins, music, and unforgettable energy. With the official program yet to be released, this day will be tailored so you can make the most of the festival atmosphere.
In the evening, return to the train for another chef-prepared dinner and a relaxed evening onboard as the celebrations continue to echo through Parkes. (B, L, D)
PLEASE NOTE: Day 2’s activities are subject to change as the official festival program has yet to be released.
Day 3 - Saturday: Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest
This morning, enjoy a relaxed start and breakfast on board as excitement builds for the day ahead. After lunch on the train, you’ll head to the centrepiece of the entire journey — the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at the Parkes Elvis Festival.
Get ready for sequins, swagger, and showmanship as performers from around the world compete for the crown. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the King’s charisma, this high-energy event is guaranteed to get your blue suede shoes moving.
After the show, return to the train for a festive cocktail party, where classic drinks meet classic tunes. Toast to Elvis and simply relax and relive your favourite moments from an unforgettable day. (B, L)
Day 4 - Sunday: Farewell
As the train begins its return journey to Sydney, enjoy a final breakfast and take in the last views of country New South Wales. This is your time to relax, reconnect with your travel companions, and share in the stories, laughter, and songs that made this experience one for the ages.
You’ll arrive at Sydney Central Station by late morning, taking with you memories of the romance of rail travel, rolling vineyards, and the one and only King of Rock and Roll. (B)
