Why work in the cruise line industry?

The cruise 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. These benefits often include:

1. Free room on the cruise ship. Usually either a single stateroom or a shared stateroom with another employee.
2. Free meals
3. Air travel en-route and homeward bound
4. Free laundry
5. Free medical insurance (which is required by maritime law)
6. Discounts at cruise ship stores and often at land based stores, bars and restaurants
7. Reduced price cruise vacations for family and friends
