American Cruise Lines is currently hiring Dishwashers for the 2026 cruising season, a temporary position lasting approximately 28 weeks.

This position offers employees the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment aboard some of America's finest vessels. Dishwashers at American Cruise Lines work long shifts, typically a minimum of 12 hours per day, seven days a week, during the contract period. The job involves physically demanding tasks such as lifting boxes up to 50 pounds, maintaining commercial dishwashing equipment, and supporting special events including afternoon teas and evening entertainment activities. Additionally, Dishwashers may have opportunities to engage with guests directly, greeting them on embarkation and assisting with galley requests, which adds a hospitable dimension to the role beyond the usual kitchen duties. Wages for this position range from $1,000 to $1,400 per week, with additional bonuses available. One of the standout benefits of working as a Dishwasher with American Cruise Lines is that all major living expenses are covered while onboard, including travel to and from the vessel, room and board, uniforms, and paid training. This comprehensive support enables employees to save much of their earnings during the contract period. The company’s extensive itinerary options – with over 50 routes covering a wide range of American rivers and coastal areas – provide employees with a unique chance to travel and explore new parts of the country while building meaningful connections with fellow crew members and guests.
