Cruise Ship Recruitment Agencies

Although applying directly with a cruise line is one way to land a job at sea, using cruise ship recruitment agencies is also recommended. Get to know the role of these recruiters and the relationship they have with the cruise lines. Then learn which recruitment agencies are the best along with some tips on how to use them.

Why Use Cruise Ship Recruitment Agencies

For some cruise lines it’s not just a matter of why to apply through an agency. It’s actually the cruise lines’ preferred method of application. This means that if you just assume that sending your resume to the head office of a cruise line is going to land you a cruise job, then you are mistaken. If a cruise line states on their website to apply through one of their recruitment partners then that’s what you need to do.

Many cruise lines rely on a network of hiring partners around the world to help with their recruitment needs. Consider that cruise ship employees come from over 100 countries, many of which are nowhere near a cruise line’s head office. Although the manning agencies do not have the authority to actually hire applicants, they are authorized to screen and interview on the cruise lines’ behalf.

The bottom line is that these hiring partners have the ability to influence whether or not a job seeker is presented to the cruise line’s HR recruiter as a qualified candidate. If the agency gives their stamp of approval this could mean the difference of getting a second interview or not.

Finding a Cruise Ship Recruitment Agency

Many cruise lines make it clear on their website’s employment pages to only trust the recruitment agencies that they have listed. Some cruise lines even go as far as to point out known cruise ship employment scams that applicants need to steer away from. So how do you find a legitimate cruise ship recruitment agency?

Apart from checking out the Cruise Ship Recruitment Agencies directory on this website, applicants should educate themselves on what to look out for in a reputable agency. Be aware that there are agencies that attempt to collect funds from job seekers by fraudulently representing themselves as authorized recruiters for a cruise line.

Keep in mind that cruise lines pay the hiring partners for their services and do not allow the collection of administrative fees, agency fees, or processing fees. Although there are costs involved with joining the ship (visas, medicals, airlines tickets), there is no fee associated with obtaining an interview, position, or ship assignment. Learn more about Cruise Ship Job Scams.

To find a reputable cruise ship recruitment agency, each cruise line lists the agencies that they work with, broken down by country. Consider that most recruitment agencies have a specific geographic area that they represent. For example, job seekers in Australia will most likely be applying with a different agency than applicants from the UK.

Biggest Cruise Recruitment Agencies

In some cases it is possible that one agency may represent two or more cruise lines. In other cases, an agency may represent two or more countries. In all cases it depends on where you live when deciding which agency to apply to. Here are some of the biggest and most respected recruiting agencies in the cruise industry.

Cast-a-Way – This agency recruits applicants from Canada, USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Australia. They are hiring partners with Carnival Cruise Lines, Disney Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas, Starboard Cruise Services and Steiner Leisure.

Seven Seas Group (SSG Evropa) – This agency recruits applicants from the United States and Europe. They are hiring partners with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and the Image Group.

Cruceros Bonavista – This agency recruits applicants from South America. They are hiring partners with Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Lines and NCL.

CTI Group – This agency recruits applicants from Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. They are hiring partners with Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Lines, and NCL.

Ismira Recruitment – This agency recruits applicants from Bulgaria, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Ukraine and a few other Eastern European countries. They are partners with Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Oceania Cruises, and Crystal Cruises.

V. Hospitality (V-Ships) – This agency recruits applicants worldwide. They are partners with Disney Cruise Line, P&O Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Silversea Cruises, and Starboard Cruise Services

How to Use a Recruitment Agency to Get a Cruise Job

Here are some tips to follow when using cruise ship recruitment agencies:

  • Be conscientious of which cruise lines that the agency represents. For example if an agent represents Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, don’t send three identical application packages to the same address.
  • Only contact the hiring partner closest to your permanent address. Submitting applications to more than one hiring partner could result in your disqualification as a candidate.
  • Follow the agency’s instructions on how to apply. Does the recruiter want you to complete an online application? Make sure it is complete and free from errors.
  • Even if you fill out an online application, mail or email your resume and cover letter, too. The cover letter lets you personalize why you are applying. Make sure you mention when you completed an online application.
  • Follow up after you apply. This is one sure way to get noticed. Follow up after you fill out an online application. Follow up after you have an interview. Follow up until you get a ship assignment.

Once an applicant receives a ship assignment, the hiring partner will issue a Letter of Employment as instructed by a cruise line representative. The hiring partner will assist new hires with their visa applications, and provide guidance for medical and travel arrangements. They also provide company orientation and information about shipboard life.

Get Hired Through a Cruise Line Staffing Agency

With the cruise industry growing at a fast clip worldwide, there's never been a better time to apply for a job on a cruise ship. The key to getting hired in a competitive job market is knowing HOW to get the job of your dreams. You have to have a strategy, which includes applying for opportunities through official staffing partners. You won't want to overlook these agencies when looking for that perfect job.

What are Staffing and Crewing Agencies?

cruise staffing photo

Why should I Apply For Work Through a Staffing Agency?

There are definitely pros and cons for using a staffing agency to get a cruise line job. For one thing, going through the agency may be the only way to get a job with some cruise lines. If the cruise line has contracted with an agency for all culinary staff, and that's the department you want to work in, it won't do you any good to apply directly to the cruise line. The cruise line will simply forward your resume to the agency anyway.

Some staffing agencies also provide you with assistance that can get you hired - they help you update your resume, improve your interviewing skills, and more.

Remember: most legitimate agencies DO NOT charge fees for their services. They usually get paid by the cruise lines for whom they are recruiting. You really need to get as much information as possible before you apply with an agency.

CruiseJobFinder Gives Has The Information You Need

CruiseJobFinder is all about giving you the information you need to make an educated decision about going for a cruise line job through a staffing agency. CruiseJobFinder answers questions like these:

  • Who do you work for, the cruise line or the agency?

More From Forbes

New cruise company explora journeys is a potent luxury contender.

  • Share to Facebook
  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

The Explora I cruise ship, built in 2023 for just 922 passengers, sails past downtown Manhattan.

The arrival of enormous ships, like the 7,000 passenger/3000 crew member Icon of the Seas, is an effective way to promote the cruise industry. But cruise companies are also launching smaller vessels designed to give passengers more individual attention, like the new EXPLORA I from Explora Journeys.

The EXPLORA I, launched in 2023, is a sleek 63,000-ton ship designed for just 922 passengers, each housed in an oceanfront suite. Another important number is 1.32 to 1. This represents the crew to passenger ratio, showing the line’s commitment to passenger service.

Ship staterooms start with the Ocean Terrace suites, at 377 square feet. They feature amenities such as a king bed, a chaise lounge day bed, and big glass doors that make it true ocean front view. Bathrooms include European walk-in showers, heated marble floors, and Dyson hair dryers. The ship also has some 67 penthouses from 462 to 763 square feet, and the Ocean Residences, from 750 square feet up to 1600 square feet.

The EXPLORA I has 12 bars and lounges, and 64 cabanas on deck for guests, with multiple indoor and outdoor whirlpools. The spa has a dry sauna, a steam room, Himalayan salt treatments and more, for “the gift of ocean wellness,” which also includes workouts with free weights, 30-minute yoga classes, Pilates, and rowing machines.

Explora Journeys, said to be the only major cruise line that’s privately owned, is part of the MSC Group. The Italian owners made their private yacht a model for the type of service they planned to deliver. EXPLORA Iis the first of a planned six ships, with EXPLORA II set to arrive in August 2024.

Along with many travel agents, a key market for Explora Journeys, I was invited on an introductory cruise from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada. Destinations enroute included San Francisco, Astoria, Oregon, and Victoria, British Columbia.

Michelin-star awarded Chef Claude Le Tohic, and staff at Anthology Restaurant on Explorer I.

Focusing on luxury, Explora’s rates are all-inclusive, including gratuities, alcohol and its powerful Wi-Fi service. A handful of amenities, such as Anthology Restaurant, which features a rotating cast of Michelin-star chefs , have an additional price.

For the cruises themselves, the prices we found range from a ten-night journey from Barcelona to Barcelona for $3,835 (via Gibraltar, Seville, Madera, etc.) to a 44-night extravaganza “connecting continents” from Vancouver to Barcelona via the US West Coast, Mexico, the Panama Canal, and the Mediterranean for $18,450.

The Explora experience began at the Port of Los Angeles, a warehouse-sized building reminiscent of a bus terminal. However, Explora Journeys made check-in fast and almost fun, with friendly representatives using data tablets to check us in at small tableclothed tables, rather than at the clerk’s counter.

The commitment to meeting passenger needs shows up everywhere, such as in the availability of 24-hour room service. The restaurants were uniformly excellent, and the fast elevators quickly whisked you from deck to deck. Yet after a couple of days, I really enjoyed taking breakfast in my cabin, eggs, waffles, pancakes, and vats of coffee.

EXPLORA I was full of such experiences. I watched a chanteuse descending the staircase into the grand Lounge Bar singing jazz standards. Later, I smoked a Winston Churchill Petit in the fragrant cigar lounge at midnight.

The grand Lobby Bar on Explora Journeys new cruise ship Explora I.

Explora Journeys is based in Geneva, so when I laid a couple of hundred-dollar bills on the blackjack table I was politely told to use my room card or change money at the cashier’s booth—euros only.

The friendly casino kept drawing me back. Of course, I ended up losing all my cash, but made $200 last the entire six -day cruise. The dealers seemed much more concerned if I was having a good time than those in Las Vegas.

The service was excellent, with barmen opening “closed” bars to pour drinks. Even when the crew didn’t fully understand a request, they gave it their all. In one lounge, I asked for a martini with blue cheese olives, aka ‘Maytag olives.” The server apparently rustled about the ship and returned with a small plate containing 4 ounces of blue cheese. I did not have the heart to tell him and instead, ate the evidence.

The ship has a well-equipped gym, but I also ran the marked jogging track on Deck 12 in my gray sweats in the wind, feeling like I was in CHARIOTS OF FIRE. I practiced hitting a pickleball over the net on the sports court and shot some 3-pointers.

Later, I sat in one of the EXPLORA I’s warm whirlpools directly overlooking the sea. The ship is said to have more water on board than any other.

The ship was so relaxing, in fact, that many passengers chose to stay on board during port days, taking advantage of massages and other services. Understood, as with cruising, the journey is really the destination.

But they missed out on Explora Journeys well-organized excursions. In San Francisco, I took a coach tour into Marin County over the Golden Gate Bridge. The intrepid bus driver drove us safely over a zig-zagging road full of bicyclists to Muir Woods.

The guide told us about the history of the redwoods, how 95% of the old giants were cut down, and how they were saved at national parks like Muir Woods. Once we got there, he left us alone with our thoughts, to walk the easy trail and admire the trees.

The intrepid bus driver found a parking spot at the Marin Headlands overlooking San Francisco Bay for selfies of the Golden Gate Bridge. Memorably, we had sailed under the bridge on EXPLORA I’s journey into the city.

I particularly enjoyed the day we spent in Astoria, Oregon, a port city on the Columbia River where it flows into the Pacific. Founded in 1811, Astoria is a destination I might never have encountered if it were not for the cruise. Astoria got its name from wealthy New York entrepreneur John Jacob Astor, who monopolized the booming fur trade.

Our excursion brought us majestic views of the river dividing Oregon and Washington. We investigated the less-than-luxurious dwellings at the Lewis and Clark Fort where that expedition lived. At the Maritime Museum, we learned about the treacherous currents of the Columbia and the salmon cannery industry that once dominated the town.

Lunch at the Mediterranean Yacht Club with its fish, humus and other Mediterranean food was a treat. I enjoyed a great ribeye in Marble, the amazing steak restaurant on board. The fresh pizza on board was also great. Late at night, I thanked the servers who stayed open just for me, pouring a shot of Macallan before bed.

The EXPLORA I makes a strong effort to keep the passengers entertained, with Broadway hits in the Journey Lounge, and individual performers in others. (I loved “Better Shape Up” from GREASE performed with just a guitar accompaniment). There are three Steinway pianos in different lounges. Explora also has alternate entertainment like silent discos, a tough trivia game, a cooking experience and “luminaries” on board to talk about various topics.

Cruise expert Chris Gray Faust, Executive Editor at Cruise Critic , says, “Explora Journeys is an entry into the luxury cruise world. Backed by the private shipping company MSC, the line has the money and ambition to fine tune its product to attract those guests who might normally choose a high-end resort or hotel, as opposed to a cruise.”

Before launching Explora Journeys, the founders interviewed 20,000 luxury travelers and 250 travel advisors. Chris Austin, Chief Sales Officer, said the idea was to “build a ship that’s like a private yacht. An intimate ship, with many, many spaces.”

What resulted, said Austin, is something “that doesn’t feel like a cruise ship, it feels like a luxury boutique hotel.” In terms of onboard shopping, “We have Piaget, Cartier, Panerai and the only Rolex watch store at sea.”

According to Austin, just 4% of luxury travelers cruise. But “after 8 months of operating, we are seeing cruisers on second and third cruise.” He added, “There is no more stunning view than when you sail into a port, as opposed to catching a taxi from the airport. Ultimately, having 6 ships will allow us to discover the world together. We call it the Ocean State of Mind.”
