It is a temporary employment opportunity lasting 28 weeks during which employees live and work aboard the ship, providing outstanding hospitality to ensure an exceptional guest experience.

This unique role not only allows employees to contribute to the comfort and satisfaction of cruise guests but also offers a chance to build foundational experience in the hospitality industry, especially within the cruise sector. Housekeepers are responsible for a variety of tasks designed to keep staterooms, common areas, and facilities immaculate and guest-ready at all times.
