About Your Host,
Maddy Căldărușe
I've been exactly where you are. Humiliated on my first stage. Dismissed as "that Eastern girl." Told I didn't belong in luxury cruising. Crying in my cabin, wondering if I should quit.
25 years later, I'm not just a successful river cruise leader—I'm the person training the next generation. And I'm doing it differently than the industry taught me.
My Credentials:
🟢 25 Years on European Rivers
Trained on major cruise lines: Luftner Cruises, Uniworld, AmaWaterways. Every major river from Amsterdam to Budapest to Barcelona.

🟢 Trainer for a leading River Cruise Company
