Cruise Line Jobs
2008 will be a great year to find cruise line jobs!
Over the last four years , major cruise lines launched sixty two new cruise
ships! Each cruise ship employs between 500 and 1,500 crew and staff members.
That means since 2000, over 50,000 new cruise ship jobs have been
created! In addition, over the next three years, 23 additional cruise ships are scheduled to be launched.
The fact is the cruise industry is absolutely booming. Last year the cruise line industry experienced a record increase in passenger traffic with an estimated 12.6 million North Americans taking a cruise.
This is all great news for you! There has never been a better
time to be looking for work in the cruise line industry. Whether you are looking
to work on for a cruise line for a short-term job change or a long term career,
the cruise line industry has a place for you.
On average cruise lines employ one crew member for every two cruise ship guests.
This means it takes about 1,000 crew members to staff a cruise ship that carries
2,000 guests. In addition, for whatever reason, turnover on the cruise ships
is generally pretty high, so cruise lines need to fill an awful lot of positions
every year and thus they are ALWAYS HIRING!
The average initial contract generally ranges
from 3 to 9 months. With all of your living expenses, medical insurance
covered by the cruise line, a high percentage of your earnings can be banked,
thus giving you a nice amount saved after each contract.
Cruise line employees also usually get excellent perks and benefits. These
benefits often include:
- Free room on the cruise ship. Usually either a single stateroom or a shared
stateroom with another employee.
- Free meals
- Air travel en-route and homeward bound
- Free laundry
- Free medical insurance (which is required by maritime law)
- Discounts at ship board and often land based stores, bars and restaurants
- Reduced cruise rates for family and friends
