Cruising is one of the fastest-growing industries in the travel and tourism sector, offering a wide variety of job opportunities to people from all backgrounds who want to see the world while they work.

However, the cruise industry is changing rapidly – new companies have entered the market and offer cruises at package holiday prices. Also, cruising is no longer just for the rich and famous!
