Podcasts are audio programs, and we love the world of radio. I started in radio trained by the BBC back in 1972. So, occasionally, we make radio-styled programs. Podcasts, or podcasts like interviews on YouTube.
Here is where you can find our podcasts.
Cruising with Doris Visits also takes place in a fun podcast. We have episodes on cruise ship comedians, and on magicians, and we have started to interview cruise ship celebrities.
These are filmed podcasts, where we go to places like the Abba Museum, or talk to cruise employees, cruise acts, and cruise celebrities.
Meet Marty Kristian the lead singer and star of the 70s hit band The New Seekers, or Royal Photographer Ken Lennox or, Holby City star Robert Daws who all work regularly on cruise ships.

Doris Visits is just a working hobby, and a way of helping people research ports and ships. It is our way of giving back as we are on the ships between 6 and 12 times a year as Guest Lecturers. The site is also supported by other guest lecturers and quest workers.
Why Doris? It was a character Jean played in a TV show and we started the port guides as a little spin-off. It took over. I mean, rode into town and said this is it.
Who is Jean? Jean is a West End and Broadway actress who now has her own one woman show called Royal Mistresses, which she performs at guilds and on ships. Hence, she cruises – a bit. She now presents TV and is known by many cruisers for her Doris Visits port guides.
Who is Stuart? Featured in a clip in the 2024 Oscars – in the tribute to movie stuntmen – he was the Queen Alien in Aliens. Now, he points the iPhone at Jean when they go and explore ashore. He finished in movies as a director, and now writes cruise thrillers.
