About

In 2009 I created Cruise Radio, a multimedia platform with a focus on travelers who want to research their cruise vacation. Cruise Radio is a website, a daily cruise industry news brief, and a weekly podcast that features ship reviews and consumer news. It's currently streamed and syndicated by over 95,000 monthly consumers through iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Alexa, Stitcher Radio, and TuneIn. CruiseRadio.net is focused on helping guests map out their cruise vacations by providing cruise ship reviews, money-saving tips, cruise news, editorial content, shore excursion advice, and port information. The site is viewed by more than 10 million visitors annually. Want more? Email: doug@cruiseradio.net Website: https://cruiseradio.net Podcast: https://cruiseradio.net/podcasts/
