A modern cruise ship is like a floating city, there are all kinds of job positions available. Some require highly developed professional skills, others don't. In order to be hired by a cruise ship company successfully you should review very carefully the list of positions and the specific requirements for them. Then you should decide which position (or positions) are most suitable for you.

Cruise lines hire people from all over the world and you could work on cruise ships regardless of your nationality or citizenship.

The cruise staff department is responsible for all of the activities and entertainment on board and ashore. The cruise director is in charge of the cruise staff. The size of this staff, like all of the other departments, is dependent on the size of the ship. Entertainers such as singers, dancers, and musicians are needed on ships along with shore excursion leaders/coordinators, dive masters, and lecturers. Most of the cruise staff have a lot of interaction with the passengers, and must be able to focus on providing a "good time" for the cruisers. This "good time" attitude means that cruise staff have to be almost like cheerleaders--up beat, happy, and courteous to everyone. Some might think that the entertainers would have less hours to work than many of the other hotel staff. This normally is not true, because the entertainers often serve as hosts and hostesses during the day, or help with other areas of the hotel operations. The cruise staff department offers the following cruise ship jobs: Cruise Director, Assistant Cruise Director, Social Hostess, Cruise Staff, Disc Jockey / DJ, Fitness Instructor / Trainer, Youth Activities Coordinator / Youth Counsellor, Scuba Diving / Water Sports Instructor, Golf Instructor.
