As a company dedicated to excellence, American Cruise Lines values optimism, commitment, patriotism, and merit, principles that guide their daily operations and employee culture. For the 2026 season, American Cruise Lines is hiring Dishwashers to work onboard their shipboard galleys. This temporary position spans 28 weeks and requires individuals to contribute to the seamless operation of the dining experience by maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation standards of all dishware, cutlery, glassware, and surrounding areas in the galley. Dishwashers are integral to the hospitality team, ensuring every meal service runs smoothly by managing the proper sanitation of all items used by guests. This role not only focuses on maintaining hygiene but also involves physically demanding tasks such as receiving and carrying food deliveries, sometimes lifting boxes weighing up to 50 pounds. Dishwashers must be proactive in monitoring the commercial dishwasher's performance and promptly reporting any maintenance issues to ship management. Beyond the typical duties, this position offers opportunities to interact with guests and assist during special events like afternoon teas, snacks, and evening entertainment, enriching the onboard guest experience. This role is ideal for individuals seeking to enter the cruise industry and build a foundational career in hospitality, allowing them to gain valuable experience in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment. American Cruise Lines provides a highly competitive wage ranging from $1,000 to $1,400 per week with additional bonuses. With all major living expenses like travel to and from the vessel, room and board, uniforms, and paid training covered by the company, employees are presented with an extraordinary opportunity to save a significant portion of their earnings. Working onboard allows employees to travel extensively through the United States, develop meaningful connections with fellow crew members and guests, and build lifelong memories while contributing to America's storytelling through this unique cruise experience. The dishwasher position demands a high level of physical stamina and dedication, with shifts that can be up to 12 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the contract period. Employees must have excellent work ethic, maintain composure during busy periods, and embody positive attitudes reflective of the company values. As part of American Cruise Lines’ commitment to safety, all shipboard employees undergo pre-employment drug testing and emergency safety training necessary for the secure operation of the vessels. This temporary employment does not guarantee advancement but serves as a stepping stone for those wishing to pursue management roles within the company. American Cruise Lines prides itself on being an equal opportunity employer that fosters diversity and inclusion in its workforce, welcoming applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or genetic information.
