Our Crew Handbook increases your chances of success!
With over 200 different jobs in more than 20 departments, there are many opportunities for professionals like you!
Currently there are over 1.2 million shipboard employees worldwide. With approximately 300 ships already sailing the high seas and 60 new ships reportedly under construction over the next 2-3 years.
Over the next 5 years, more than 50 new cruise ships will be launched, creating an over 100,000 additional jobs and one of these could be yours!!
Having been recruiting for the cruise industry for over 4 years and interviewing 1000's of candidates each year, so many people ask the same questions and have found it difficult to know how to even apply to gain employment in this exciting industry.
Unlike other companies it is not as simple as sending your resume to the HR Department and hoping for a response- it's a little more complicated than that to work at sea! There are rules, regulations, preferred resume formats, agents, concessionaries and of course all the pre-requisites to work on board a luxury floating city.
There are many different recruitment processes Cruise Liners take in employing staff and unless you know the system and how it works you can waste a lot of time, effort and money on international postage on applications that often end up in the bin!
We have developed a comprehensive Crew Membership and handbook to prepare you for your new exciting career and answer all your questions on the what, how, why and where of the cruise line industry.
