There has been a number of perceptions as to what cruise employment entails and misconceptions about the processing, expenses, timeframes, and general terms of employment. As a reminder, this is not a “working holiday”, but a professional work opportunity. You are permanently employed directly by the cruise ship company, on a contract basis of approx. 6-8 months at a time, and 6-8 weeks of vacation time between contracts. Promotions happen all the time, and you return to the ships in the same higher position. That’s where most management employees come from.

For this reason mainly, it does take longer to get placed than applying for a seasonal job in the UK, Ireland, Europe or Camp / ski resorts in the United States or other youth travel options.

The key to getting placed faster, is to apply, send in your CV as soon as possible, after which we will contact you for an initial interview if we can be of service, and you submit all the necessary documents and paperwork at the same time.

We recruit all year round, but our busiest recruitment drives usually take place early in the year, from January through March/April, and then again later in the year, August through October/November. Our clients visit South Africa throughout the year for final interviews with the applicants on file at that particular time, but some of them visit us consistently around April, and or October each year.

Please note there are costs involved with your application, if you are accepted these costs will be advised to you.

We look forward to receiving your CV
