As Cruises around the world are starting up again, we see pictures of crew members partying, exploring the world, hanging out on a beach, and helicoptering onto glaciers. The following article on Life on Iris mentions the perks of working on a cruise ship.

5 Perks of working on a cruise ship

1. It’s a helluva lot of fun!

Cruise ship crew are some of the most fun people you will find. They’re obviously up for an adventure – they’re working on a cruise ship! Cruise ship time is all fast-forwarded. When you live together, dine together, work together, and party together, a week feels like a month and a month feels like a year. Friendships are formed very quickly.

2. The work experience

The work experience on a ship is different. It’s typically pretty fast-paced and things can change very quickly. It can give you great management experience at a relatively young age that can correlate into better positions if you transition your job onto land. Another great aspect of the work experience onboard a cruise ship is that it helps people get out of their comfort zone.

3. Work with people from around the world

On most cruise ships there will be people from 40-70 countries represented in the crew. The large mix of the crew from around the world creates a unique work and life experience. It’s a huge benefit because of how much it teaches you about different cultures. Working with people from different countries gives you another perspective.

4. Save money

One of the great perks of working on a cruise ship is while onboard the ship basic necessities are provided for you:

• Food
• Drinks (coffee, tea, juice, water – although crew often buy bottled water)
• Electricity
• Heating/air conditioning
• Accommodation

5. The travel

The biggest benefit of working on a cruise ship is the ability to travel and get paid to do it.  Also lots of travel = exposure to lots of languages. It’s not uncommon for there to be a crew that has been to 100+ countries and every continent. If you’ve dreamed of visiting places and couldn’t figure out how you could ever afford it – working on a cruise ship could be a great option for you.
