European River Cruise Jobs

Pro Sea Staff has set up recruitment relationships with two established river cruise lines and employs culinary and hospitality cruise ship staff for UNIWORLD River Cruises and RIVER ADVICE . Both cruise line companies operate a fleet of cruise ships based in different cities in Europe (Paris, Budapest, Vienna, Venice, Amsterdam, etc.) and sail on rivers in Europe for itineraries that may vary from 7 to 14 days.

River cruise careers

Working on river cruises is in many ways very similar to working on sea or ocean cruise lines . The work schedules are 7 days per week, the hours are long, the work can be difficult but, as it is the case with ocean cruise lines, there are tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth and development.

Cruise ship jobs in Europe

As river cruise lines operate in Europe , they are required by the authorities of the countries they visit to hire  European passport holders  only and they can only issue  European contracts . The river cruise lines we work with issue either Swiss, French or Cyprus contracts. This is a very important benefit for river cruise line employees as they will be entitled to many of the social advantages and benefits offered by European job contracts (pension plans, paid vacation, paid overtime, etc.)
