The Travelcall Gold Coast team.

For us, travel is more than a destination.

It’s about creating moments that matter, that change our perspective and bring us together. For nearly four decades, our love of discovery has motivated our team and inspired our clients

Travelcall Gold Coast (formerly Main Beach Travel) is a leading luxury cruise and full-service travel agency, with a long-standing reputation for expert voyage planning, tailor-made itineraries and deep destination and cruise expertise. But what truly sets our advisors apart is the relationship they build with you over time, getting to understand your preferences, your pace and the experiences that matter most to you. We create imaginative, unforgettable holidays that keep our valued clients coming back trip after trip.

As part of the prestigious Goldman Travel Group, our accredited voyage specialists bring decades of combined cruise and destination expertise to every itinerary. From small-ship expedition cruises to the Antarctic and intimate river journeys through Europe to relaxing Mediterranean voyages and multi-generational private charter experiences, we design highly curated sailings complete with seamless pre- and post-cruise arrangements and private shore excursions. And for those seeking adventures beyond the water, our team crafts equally tailored land journeys, from Tuscan wine escapes to African safaris, all backed by insider access and trusted partner relationships.
