Recruitment agents for cruise ship jobs

Almost all major cruise lines have their own recruitment agents established in particular regions of the world.

The best way of finding employment on a cruise ship is to contact a recruitment agent who works for the specific cruise line. The personnel departments of the cruise lines would not be able to manage all the inquiries from particular applicants from over the world and that is why they use the service of the recruitment agents.

Most recruitment agents provide training for hired crew - starting from basic courses which have to prepare the new employee to the new circumstances ending with the special STCW courses which some cruise lines already require (STCW - International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).

There is a massive list of over 390 recruitment agents from 70 countries available on following website: Cruise ship jobs - directory of recruitment agents.
