You need to contact the cruise lines directly. On their web sites you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. Some sites even have current vacancies they are recruiting for. Several cruise lines have new ships coming out soon so opportunities will be there. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Disney and some others will have new ships launched in the next couple years.

Here are some links:

The luxury cruise lines are:

CRYSTAL:

Other cruise lines that most people go on:

I know that on Royal Caribbean's site if you go to the bottom of their home page and click on OUR COMPANY it will take you to a page where career opportunities are listed by category: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/ourCompany...

Then there are more links that will let you see and download job requirements. Celebrity Cruise line is a RC affiliate and so you should be able to get similar information from them the same way. here's a link to their jobs page: http://www.celebritycruises.com/aboutcel...

Here's Norwegian Cruise line: http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/cruiser/cmsPag...

Another thing to do is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the souvenir, gift and clothing shops. Below are links for you.

I know some people who worked on a cruise and they hated it and wouldn't recommend working there and wouldn't do it again. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

If you're applying from the US, Canada or Western Europe, you're fine to just contact the lines directly. In Eastern Europe and Asia they may direct you to their local manning agency.

If you search thier web sites the is usualy a link to vacancies and for royal Caribbean you can actualy apply online. Also look up Cruise International (I think I've remembered it right, but try various permetations) on a search engine it is based in Glasgow and cost a couple of quid, but they send you a book that has job descriptions, all addresses for all the companies, stories from people working the ships, how to word CVs, likely questions at interviews and will send you every other month a list of current vacancies from all the companies.

Good luck.

I used it an I now work on the ships.
