Travelcall Melbourne
River, Ocean, Expedition, Yacht and Private Charter Cruising
No matter how you choose to set sail - on a river cruise through Europe, with the family in the Pacific, on a yacht through the Greek Isles or an epic polar expedition - our luxury cruise specialist advisors bring the expertise and passion to plan a sailing that's right for you. With decades of experience and delivering a highly personalised service, Travelcall Melbourne are your trusted cruise specialists in Victoria.
Choosing the right cruise is about far more than picking a destination and departure date: the ship, the cabin, the itinerary, dining experience, shore excursion programme and fellow passengers all shape your cruise holiday experience. Alternatively, we can arrange private charter experiences to curate the journey according to your needs and preferences. Our advisors use their first-hand knowledge and longstanding relationships across the world's leading cruise lines to ensure we match you to the line, vessel and itinerary that suits you best - negotiating the best available rates and inclusions, and remaining your point of contact until the day you return home.
Explore the world by sea and discover some of our favourite cruising destinations.
Antarctica
The White Continent
The most extraordinary destination on earth. Best experienced aboard a small expedition ship with naturalist guides who bring the remote icescape to life and encourage participation in scientific research.
Speak to a cruise specialistMediterranean
Where History Meets the Sea
From the sun-bleached villages of the Greek Isles and ancient ports of Croatia to the French Riviera and Amalfi Coast, the Mediterranean remains the world's most enduring cruise destination for good reason.
Speak to a cruise specialistArctic
The Top of the World
Polar bears on sea ice, midnight sun golfing in Svalbard and exploring tiny towns dotting the fjords, the Arctic rewards those who venture north with a wilderness that few will ever witness firsthand.

The Heart of the Continent
The Rhine, Danube, Douro and Seine trace quiet routes through medieval towns, vineyard landscapes and iconic capitals, with intimate ships docking in vibey city centres to immerse you in the local culture.
Speak to a cruise specialistAlaska
Wild and Vast
Glaciers calving into the sea, humpback whales breaching in Frederick Sound and where Tlingit culture shines, Alaska is best discovered at a slower pace with expert guides along the way.
Speak to a cruise specialistAsia
Ancient Cultures, Modern Wonders
A land of diversity from Japan's coastal temples and Vietnam's Mekong villages to the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Asia calls to the cruiser who seeks a blend of culture, cuisine and adventure.
Speak to a cruise specialistSouth Pacific
Settle Into Island Life
From the overwater bungalows of Bora Bora and remote atolls of Cook Islands to the drama of New Zealand's Sounds, the South Pacific offers an unhurried, sun-drenched pace of travel whether by cruise ship or private yacht.
Speak to a cruise specialistSouth America
From Rainforest to Icecaps
The Amazon river system, the awes-inspiring fjords of Chilean Patagonia, the wildlife of the Galápagos Islands and the cultural richness of Buenos Aires, South America is best explored by water.
Speak to a cruise specialistNorthern Europe
Fjords and Coastal Villages
Norway's iconic fjordland, the fairy-tale ports of the Baltic and the rugged coastlines of Scotland and Ireland await. Northern Europe's cruising season is short, but the rewards are spectacular.

Luxury yachting occupies a distinct space in the world of cruising. Smaller vessels, initimate guest counts and a philosophy built around you rather than a ship's programme make this style of travel feel slower, relaxed and more like a luxury villa at sea than a traditional sailing. At Travelcall, we work closely with the pioneers of this new cruising category including The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Four Seasons Yachts, Aman at Sea and Orient Express Sailing Yachts. Each offer a distinct identity with all the hallmarks of five-star hotel personal hospitality.
From Antarctica and the Arctic to the Galápagos, Raja Ampat and the Kimberley coast, expedition cruising takes travellers to the wild corners of the world most people will never see. Led by naturalists, researchers and local experts, each expedition voyage brings the destination to life with guided Zodiac excursions, hiking and wildlife spotting. Not all expedition lines are the same - some, like Quark Expeditions and HX Expeditions, prioritise immersive wildlife programming and scientific discovery while others like Ponant Explorations bring the comforts of luxury travel to the world's most remote destinations. Our advisors know the distinction and will help match you to the ship and itinerary that suits the way you travel.
Ocean cruising remains one of the most compelling ways to explore the world from tracing the coastlines of the Mediterranean, sailing through the fjords of Norway, island-hopping across the Pacific or navigating the cultured ports of Asia and Africa. Each voyage is a journey through multiple destinations, traditions and landscapes with the ease of knowing logistics are handled. Whether you enjoy the hustle and bustle of the entertainment and activity options onboard or the slower-pace of a luxury small-ship cruise, ocean cruising is ideal for solo travellers and multi-gen families alike. You just need to know which cruise line, itinerary and ship is best, and our knowledgeable advisors can help with that.
River cruising is valued for its direct access to the heart of a destination with ships commonly docking in city centres, even overnight, and within walking distance of key attractions and experiences, giving passengers time to explore. Europe's Rhine, Danube and Duoro remain the world's most popular river routes, while the Nile, rivers of southern Africa, India, the Mekong and the Amazon offer a completely different cultural encounter. Whether cruising with the Nordic-inspired Viking, ultra-luxe Scenic Luxury Cruises or boutique Uniworld and wherever you'd like to explore, our advisors can help you find the river journey that's right for you.
For those who want complete control over their journey or require ultimate privacy, a privately chartered cruise offers an experience unlike any other. Whether you are planning a multi-generational celebration aboard a private yacht through the Croatian islands, a milestone birthday on the rivers of Southeast Asia or a milestone birthday at sea, our advisors have the relationships and expertise to find the right vessel for the occasion.
A chartered sailing is entirely yours to shape. Private chefs, dedicated guides, bespoke shore excursions and a crew focused solely on your group, every element is tailored around your preferences, your pace and the people you are travelling with. We handle the complexities so you can focus on the experience itself.
At Travelcall Melbourne, we work with a carefully curated portfolio of the world's leading cruise lines, from Virtuoso's most prestigious ocean, river and expedition partners and luxury yachting pioneers to premium contemporary lines and specialist operators across every style of cruising, budget and destination. Our expert advisors know the ships, the suites and the onboard culture personally, and use that knowledge to match every client with the line and vessel that is right for them. Whether you are considering your first cruise or your fiftieth, we will help you find the right sailing and ensure you step aboard with the best available rates, inclusions and Virtuoso benefits.
Cruising is one of the most versatile and rewarding ways to travel. More than just a way to get around, cruising is a front row seat to the world's best destinations and experiences with the added ability to only unpack once yet wake up somewhere new each morning. Onboard, you can expect spacious accommodations, world-class dining, award-winning wellness centres, onboard entertainment and personalised service. For explorers at heart, there are expert-led excursions to bring each destination to life, from hiking ancient momunents and glaciers to farm-to-table vineyard lunches and art history tours. All of these are what makes cruising particularly well suited to multi-generational family travel, first-time cruisers, couples, friend groups and solo travellers looking for a seamless, hassle-free and enriching trip.
From luxury yachts in the Mediterranean and South Pacific to expedition voyages in Antarctica and river cruises through Europe, the breadth of the modern cruise experience is unmatched. Planning your voyage with our experienced cruise advisors ensures you navigate that diversity with confidence, plus enjoy detailed plannning, tailored options and our exclusive preferred partner benefits and connections.
