Cruise line employment offers numerous rewards, but the most common reasons for starting a career on board a cruise vessel are these:
Saving Money - you will be able to save a substantial amount of money in a short period of time since all your earnings will be a disposable income - expenses are taken care of by the cruise line (food, accommodation, medical care, airline ticket to the port of embarkation and back home). Citizens of certain countries do not have to pay taxes on the income they have earned on ships. It will be your responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance with the tax laws applying to your country of residence.
Travel - travel in style around the world aboard a luxury cruise ship for free (even getting paid for it).
Getting Away – get away from a boring job, career or every day routine and exchange it for rewarding and adventurous cruise ship job.
Health - free medical insurance.
Family Travel – senior officers and management personnel do enjoy the privilege of single cabin accommodation and in most cases are allowed to bring along spouses and children free of charge. For the rest of staff and crew discounted cruise rates for relatives and family members may apply (at cruise line’s discretion).
