cruise ship job photo Do you see yourself as the adventurous type - not someone who wants to sit in a cubicle all day, but a person who wants to get out, see the world, meet people, and experience new sights and sounds? It's people like you who are perfectly suited to work on a cruise ship or perform one of the other cruise line industry jobs!

The cruise ship industry is one of the fastest growing job sectors in the world. It is experiencing its best years ever and there has never been a better time to look for a job in the cruise line industry. Since 2000, major cruise lines have introduced 81 new cruise ships and eleven new cruise ships are scheduled to be launched in 2009.

Going forward it is predicted that five to ten new luxury liners will be built every year, and with that growth there has been an equally impressive boom in the number of available jobs. While many of these opportunities are aboard luxury liners, 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. A wide array of jobs is awaiting you aboard any of these cruise ships. And many entry-level jobs are available, too, ranging from deckhands, ship officers, and maintenance crew to hotel staff, gift shop staff, entertainers, tour guides, food and beverage workers (bartenders, waiters, cocktail servers, etc.), naturalists, and recreation and fitness directors. You're sure to find something that will suit your skills and interests.
