Career of the Year!

For many people cruise ship jobs are the Ultimate Travel Career – what better way to get paid well and explore the world! This is definitely one of the best ways to earn a living while exploring the Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean islands, Baltic Capitals, North American coasts and many more destinations with never a dull day in the office

A career at sea affords you many unparalleled opportunities such as travelling to exotic locations, building meaningful friendships with diverse colleagues, and gaining valuable professional skills in a world-class environment.

Many entry level jobs do not need experience such as jobs in retail and housekeeping and working behind a bar  whereas butlers, fortune tellers, florists, gentlemen hosts and priests may need previous training!!

Current vacancies include Dive instructor and Life Guard on a private Caribbean Island, Virgin Voyage are looking for an on board Tattooist and Royal Caribbean are always on the look out for talented Mixologist cocktail designers

Celebrity are recruiting for a Horticulturist and professional Lawn keeper, responsible for maintaining 2,000 square meters of grass.  This includes the “Lawn Club”, first real-grass lawn on cruise ship where guests can have picnic, play games or simply enjoy the view of the ocean. The Lawn keeper is responsible for the maintenance, irrigation, mowing and seeding of the lawn area on the open deck. A challenge here is certainly the salt on open seas, which affects the appearance of the lawn.  

Maybe you could be an Ice captain on board Royal Caribbean ice rink where guests have the opportunity to skate or to watch one of the many ice-skating shows. The cruise line hires professional ice-skaters named Ice Captains. This professionals participate in the on board shows and are responsible for the daily assistance of the guests at the ice rink.

My favourite job is Dog Butler On board the Cunard Queen Mary  – job description to take care of the four-legged passengers, who are accommodated during the voyage in kennels. He cleans the kennels, feeds the animals and walks the dogs on a daily basis. In addition the dog butler, is always available when human guests want to visit their pets. 

Are you a skilled High Diver?  Royal Caribbean High divers perform various shows in the Aquatheater, jumping from the 10-meter high dive platforms while the ship is sailing – previous training is definitely required!
