How many vessels does your company operate?
InnerSea Discoveries operates 3 small "Wilderness" ships, namely the Wilderness Adventurer, Wilderness Discoverer, and the Wilderness Explorer. American Safari Cruises consists of 4 luxury "Safari" Yachts - the Safari Spirit, Safari Quest, Safari Explorer (our flagship), and the Safari Endeavour, which is bigger, accommodating 86 passengers.

Describe your perfect candidate. How can someone best make a great first impression with you?
The perfect candidate is someone who wants to travel, enjoy some adventure, but someone who is also mature, responsible, dedicated and motivated. The first impression we should get of you is that we want to get to know you better. You must ooze personality.
What advice would you give people to help them prepare for interviews with your company?
