- **Event Description**: Steam Incorporated's Napier Escape excursion in December 2025 offers a captivating diesel-hauled journey through New Zealand's North Island, blending heritage rail travel with the region's stunning landscapes. Departing from Paekākāriki, our beautifully restored heritage train traverses the picturesque countryside, culminating in the Art Deco city of Napier, to showcase the best of the region.

Board the special train at Paekakariki, Paraparaumu, Waikanae, Otaki, Levin, Palmerston North or Woodville.

Passengers will experience the comfort of classic red steel carriages, complete with an open-air viewing platform for unobstructed views of the diverse scenery, hauled by one of our beautifully restored Art Deco-inspired diesel electric locomotives. Onboard amenities include a buffet counter offering a selection of snacks and beverages.

The journey includes traversing engineering marvels such as the Manawatū Gorge, accessible only by rail, providing a unique perspective of the monumental slips that closed the Gorge to road traffic in 2017, and the famed Ormondville Viaduct, a 280m long and 39m high spectacle in the Central Hawkes Bay.

Upon arrival in Napier, passengers can immerse themselves in one of three fantastic options.

- A Deco Deep Dive - a look into Napier's Art Deco history and culture and a tour of the city!

- Sip and Savour - Travel by coach from Hastings through to the Northern reaches of Napier, towards Bay View, and disembark at the Crab Farm Winery to indulge in a special wine tasting and late lunch opportunity from a beautifully crafted set menu.
