Leisure, social, lifestyle

A strong work ethic is central to the culture and lifestyle onboard - we'll expect you to be willing to learn, to put all your efforts into your work and stay focused on the task at hand. You'll be part of a professional, highly successful team that is responsible for the operation of the ship. Any decisions the team makes could have dramatic implications for the safety of the ship and everyone onboard so it's imperative that you and your team mates are always thinking ahead of the game.

But as well as working hard, you will want to enjoy the entertainment on offer and the social side of working on a cruise ship. In between shifts, take advantage of the ships' swimming pools, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants and bars for your choice of relaxation or partying. As an Officer, you will also have access to the passenger gyms, jogging tracks, tennis and basketball courts.

What's more, when off duty you'll have the freedom to disembark from the ship and explore the various ports, checking out the beaches, seeing some of the sights and sampling the local cuisine. Alternatively you may wish to take part in some of the organised onshore activities such as water sports, safari trips, mountain hikes and scuba-diving.

With so much to keep you occupied, we can guarantee this will be a training programme to remember!
