New Zealand Rail Adventure, October 2022

We recently travelled on the New Zealand coach and rail trip which concluded on 21 October. We were very happy with the trip, the accommodation was very good and all the included dinners were a bonus. The itinerary was good but doubt that I’ll want to spend so much time on a coach again.

Special praise for the coach driver Julie. She was an exceptional driver and always willing to help.

Frank, the tour leader was very well organised and a real asset who also provided great assistance.

Grand Southern Loop, August 2022

My head is slowly returning to ‘home mode’ after that amazing trip to Broken Hill and beyond.  I can’t stop talking about it and probably driving friends and relatives insane but was followed up with their many questions about the big adventure.

Especially our mode of transport and the fact that we stayed in first class accommodation, gourmet dining etc. They couldn’t believe the places we’ve been and the adventures we’ve had all in the space of 2 weeks!

I can’t thank you, Richard, Adrianna, Ben, Fred and all the ‘A’ team at Cruise Express for making a dream into a reality.

I know how much hard work, the pitfalls and obstacles you all faced and from one devoted traveller, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love and hugs all around..

Grand Southern Loop, August 2022

The Grand Southern Loop put together by Richard and Cruise Express was an amazing experience.

Hard to believe we had 15 days, over 4,500km, 3 states, 8 different trains, 8 hotels with 78 tourists and 4 Cruise Express staff and the volunteers/drivers from Paterson Rail Motor Society.

This has been the largest and longest heritage rail tour in Australia. All credit to Richard Boyce from Cruise Express, this tour took 2 years to put together, so many highlights and so many exclusive experiences.

The tour was fantastic for train enthusiasts and general tourists alike.

Grand Southern Loop, August 2022

Liz and I have just returned home from the Grand Southern Loop Rail Tour.

It is really hard to put into words our thanks and appreciation for what was a wonderful experience, from start to finish.

A simple thank you is not enough, for all the hard work and dedication of the whole Cruise Express team, in making this tour happen.

We would like to express our special appreciation to Richard, Adrianna, Ben and Fred for their excellent work in shepherding our group along the many venues and transport modes along the way

This was our first experience with Cruise Express and we can assure you, it will not be our last.

Looking forward to the Grand Southern Loop tour in 2023!

Bob & Liz, Gunnedah

Southern Branch Lines, March 2022

Thank you for another wonderful train trip to Griffith.  It certainly was an adventure and all credit goes to Richard, Adrianna, Ben and Winston for making the holiday so memorable.  I realise the organisation that goes on behind the scenes to make things run smoothly is tremendous and Richard is just like the Duck mascot – calm above water and paddling like stink below – but he makes everything work.
Congratulations on another successful Cruise Express train trip – will do Griffith with Zecca and Piccolo Farm included, every time.
