Why work in the cruise
line industry?
The cruise
ship industry is one of the fastest growing
job sectors in the world.
Five to ten new luxury liners
are being built every year, and with
that growth there has been an equally
impressive
boom in the number of available cruise
ship jobs. While many of these employment
opportunities
are aboard luxury liner cruise ships,
you can also find employment on smaller
vessels
that include everything from eco-tour
ships to the Amazon, steamboats
that
recall the grandeur of 19th-century
America, and romantic sailing yachts
cruising the Maine shoreline.
Cruise ship employees also usually get excellent perks and benefits.
Cruise line employee benefits often include:
- Free room on the cruise ship
- Free meals
- Air travel en-route and homeward bound
- Free laundry
- Free medical insurance (which is required by maritime law)
- Discounts at cruise ship stores and often at land based stores, bars and restaurants
- Reduced price cruise vacations for family and friends
- Wages often paid in cash monthly
