As a crew member, you will build relationships with people from a multitude of different countries, visit exciting destinations and create magical experiences for the families who sail with us. However, thriving in our fast-paced shipboard culture is about more than amazing adventures. You will need to adjust to living in a confined space, working demanding hours and having limited personal time. But no matter what shipboard life brings, we support each other as a family with shared goals.
