Robert OGrady is the multi-award-winning founder of The Cruise Room, which he launched in June 2021 during the pandemic. After a 24-year career in the Irish Health Service, culminating in managing the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain, he pursued his passion for travel. He holds an Honours degree from the National College of Ireland.

Outside of managing his agency, Robert is a travel influencer with a deep-seated passion for the cruise industry. This passion began over a decade ago with a personal blog, The Cruise Room Ireland, which he created to share information and advice with fellow cruisers, bridging the gap between consumers and the cruise market.

After nearly 24 years in public health logistics, he pivoted during the pandemic to launch a successful cruise travel agency.
