Fresh off the press: Episode 230 of The Swing Nation Podcast is live, and this one is a big deal for anyone who loves lifestyle travel, swinging, or just wants to know what really happens behind the scenes of the world’s most famous swingers cruise.
In this episode, Dan and Lacy sit down with Russell, the newly appointed CEO of Bliss Cruise — the largest and most talked-about swingers cruise experience on the planet.
From First-Time Guest to Captain of the Ship
Russell’s story is one of those rare full-circle journeys that’s hard not to love.
He wasn’t just an attendee — he was one of the very first people to ever step on board a Bliss Cruise more than 25 years ago. Fast forward to today, and he’s now the person steering the entire brand.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Russell opens up about:
- What first drew him into the lifestyle community all those years ago
- How Bliss Cruise has evolved from its early days to the massive, highly-anticipated event it is now
- The real challenges and rewards of managing an experience that thousands of couples plan their entire year around
- The fresh changes and bold new direction he’s bringing to the brand
He also shares what the future of Bliss Cruise looks like — including how they plan to keep innovating while staying true to the core values that make the lifestyle community feel so welcoming and special.
And because it’s Dan and Lacy… they couldn’t resist asking the question everyone wants to know:
Would he ever facilitate the world’s largest orgy?
The answer (and the banter) is pure gold.
