How is your job search going?

Remember to share this blog with your friends and always read the older posts for lots of cruise job information and current contacts.

This year 2010, most cruise lines will be rolling out at least one, and in many cases 2 ships this year. That means lots of jobs are out there.

CruiseGary provides direct contact information for the person who actually does the hiring. In some cases, I have listed legitimate agencies, which I know the cruise lines respect and actually use for recruiting all cruise ship positions.

Search and peruse all the previous posts to see who hires for which cruise line and go for it! Not all cruise ship agencies, websites and recruiters are created equal!

Europe River Cruise Jobs and World River Cruise Jobs

Remember to share this blog with your friends and always read the older posts for lots of cruise job information and current contacts.

The are other options to the major mega-cruise ship jobs out there. One alternative I have been looking into is river cruise jobs.

The season typically begins in March/April so most companies will start staffing Jan / Feb.

The coolest new river boats are called "Spaceships". They are new design river boats offerd by Scenic Tours.
