ISMIRA RECRUITMENT AGENCY

WHY WORKING ON CRUISE SHIPS?

Cruise ship is like a floating city with cozy hotels, casual and luxury restaurants, kid's rooms, pools, casinos, theaters, and penetrating joyful atmosphere of fun. Working on cruises ships is an excellent opportunity to work, travel, and save money at the same time. Giant cruise companies are constantly growing and expanding their operations building new cruise ships, thus more and more employees are needed for various positions - receptionists, hairdressers, croupiers, cleaners, animators, nurses, cabin stewards, bartenders, cooks, photographers, waiters, electricians, engineers, carpenters, shop attendants and many other. Cruise companies employ international crewmembers from more than 72 countries, so different nationalities work and live together sharing common interests and often becoming friends.
