Cruise Ship Lifeguard

Live Life Less Ordinary Be a Cruise Ship Lifeguard By: Jill Martin

If you’re looking for a lifeguard job that’s far from ordinary, here is one area you may want to jump in and explore – cruise lines. Working on a cruise ship is not for everyone, but for those who love adventure, are adaptable, and are open to many different challenges, it could be a dream job.

In addition to on-board aquatic playgrounds for all ages, many cruise lines have their own private island that they offer as a port on certain Caribbean itineraries. Cruise passengers can spend the day swimming, snorkeling, and diving, which may offer more opportunities for a lifeguard to use his or her skills.

While not every cruise line employs lifeguards, those that do are looking for individuals who can bring more to the table than just standard lifeguard qualifications. That’s because a lifeguard on a cruise ship juggles more than one role. They may also work the water slides, welcome guests to the nightly shows, help out on the rock climbing walls or zip lines, lead guests to and from their shore excursions, help with guest services, and more. Since guest interaction plays such a large part, those lifeguards with resumes that list any previous work in the hospitality industry will have the advantage.

Time On, Time Off.

Positions onboard are typically a four to six month contract – that’s four to six months on the ship and six to eight weeks off the ship. The contract will vary depending on the cruise line, so will the salary. Disney Cruise Line lifeguards generally work 4.5 months on and six weeks off. Norwegian Cruise Line contracts are 6 months on and two months off. Salaries are typically $1600-$1800 a month.

One big advantage to this type of contractual work is that while you’re on board, you don’t have to pay rent, water, electric or cable bills! With little free time provided, salaries can be almost entirely saved.

To find job listings for onboard employment, visit the websites of each individual cruise line. The top three are Norwegian, Carnival, and Disney. Openings are constantly updated so be sure to check back often. Lastly, if you don’t already have a passport, you’ll need one.

Find out how to apply at https://travel.state.gov/passport . Good luck and hopefully, bon voyage!

Moscow is a Volga River cruise port, Russia's capital and largest city (population over 12,2 million, metro 17 million). Moscow City covers a total area of approx 2610 km 2 (970 mi2). By population, the city is ranked the world's 14th largest. Moscow is one of the Russian Federation's all 3 federal cities - together with St Petersburg and Sevastopol .

Being Russian Federation's capital, Moscow is a major economic, political, scientific and cultural center, as well as Europe's biggest city.

According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the 9th most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It is also one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world according to MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index. Moscow is the northernmost and the coldest megacity and metropolis on the Earth. It's home to Ostankino Tower, the tallest free-standing European structure; the Federation Tower, the tallest European skyscraper; and the Moscow International Business Center. 

Moscow is situated on Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, which makes it the most populated inland city in the world. Moscow city is well known for architecture, particularly its historic buildings like Saint Basil's Cathedral. With over 40% of its territory covered by greenery, it's one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world. Moscow is the seat of power of the Russian Government, being the site of Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is now the residence of the President of Russia. Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are among the several World Heritage Sites in the city. 

Moscow has 2 passenger terminals, North River Terminal (Rechnoy vokzal) and South River Terminal. The regular ship routes and cruises along Moskva and Oka rivers are used mostly for entertainment. North River Terminal (1937-built) is currently the main hub for long-range routes along the river. There are 3 freight ports that serve Moscow.

In late-July 2021 the city announced plans to incorporate a fleet (unspecified number) of fully electric passenger ferries into its public transportation network from summer 2022, the goal being to reduce the dependence on cars.

• The boats are designed with length ~22 m (72 ft), passenger capacity 42, modern amenities (Wi-Fi, USB charging points, tables for working commuters), spaces for storing scooters and bicycles.
• Moscow Transport confirmed that two routes (with max daily capacity ~16,000 passengers) have already been mapped out.
• Passengers will be able to pay via bank cards, the city’s Troika card (smart card for travel by any public transportation) or biometric payment cards. Those with monthly/yearly public transit tickets will use the boats at no extra cost.
• The new electric ferry service is up to 5 times faster (in comparison to other city public transports) and ~2 times faster than by car.

Moscow cruise terminal

Moscow's cruise terminal is called North River Terminal or River Station  ("Rechnoy Vokzal" / "речной вокзал").

The terminal was opened in 1937 and is one of 2 passenger terminals (the other being South River Terminal) of the city's river transport. North River Terminal is the main hub for long-range (including cruise) shipping routes. 

South River Terminal (above photo) was opened in 1985.
