Your Host for Cruising Authority is former Entertainer and Cruise
Director, Barry Vaudrin. Having worked on six different ships with four different cruise lines for two years, Barry
is passionate about cruising, cruise ships, and the history of trans-Atlantic liners. Barry has been a cruise
industry consultant for a number of travel agencies and has been instrumental in the start-up of several cruise-only agencies.
A world-traveller, adventurer, and entrepreneur, your host loves to talk about cruises and ships so a Cruise Talkshow is
only fitting for this entertaining man of many adventures. Barry Vaudrin is the Host and Founder of Cruising
Authority and he has a unique vision to tie-together multiple technological venues for bringing people with a common
interest in ocean liners and cruises to one convenient place for the purpose of connecting people and resources
together. There are so many options out there when considering a cruise for example, and that vast open field of cruise
information can be confusing. Hopefully, through Cruising Authority, we can offer simple solutions and information,
and create a unique community of people passionate about cruises, cruising and ocean liners.
Get plugged-in and become a GOLD MEMBER so we can create a helpful network of cruising enthusiasts!

This picture of Celebrity's Zenith was taken while docked in Nassau, and that is of course your Host of
Cruising Authority, Barry Vaudrin standing in front of the ship he worked on in 1992.
That's Barry with his wife Terri, living out a dream come true aboard the QM2. Since 1977 Barry has been fascinated
with the Queen Mary of 1936, so when the new QM2 was first introduced to the World, Barry was there to experience this new fantastic ship first-hand.
