SHORE EXCURSION GUIDE JOBSEntry-level positions tend to be easier to find working for smaller cruise lines that provide shore tours, than on major cruise lines. But if you're looking for a glamorous, high profile job, you should look elsewhere. Shore excursion
tour guiding can be very demanding. Not only do some companies require their employees to organize and lead shore tours, entry-level positions usually consist of waiting tables, washing dishes, cleaning the decks, carrying luggage, or general maintenance and cleanup when back on board the ship. On the bright side, many of these entry-level workers end up working in management or as guides during the next season.For onboard guide positions, most companies hire people with
experience as an excursion guide or with some kind of public relations experience. While some naturalist tour companies look for lecturers with advanced degrees or specialized ecology backgrounds, some look for guides among their returning crew staff or coach driver/guides who can speak well and get along with customers.
