Cruise Director: Recent Episodes

Shelby Frenette

Ever wonder what it's really like to live, work and play at sea? Welcome to Cruise Director! I'm Shelby Frenette, and I've sailed on more than 500 cruises with tens of thousands of travelers since 1999. I've seen it all - crazy couples, big celebrities, exotic ports of calls, activities gone sideways; but mostly I've been exposed to the amazing adventure that only big boats can bring.

Join me on each episode, as we take a sneak peek inside the glamour, the excitement, the destinations, the ships, and most importantly, the kind of fun that can only be found in the world of cruising. Real stories, valuable insights, travel tips, interesting personalities, great guests, and a whole lot of funny memories of some of my hijinks on the high seas! So come aboard…we're expecting you. Let's head off on this trip...together.

Follow me now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you enjoy your shows. I'm Shelby…and you're fabulous.
