Landing a cruise ship job typically begins with an online application through the cruise line’s career portal or a recruitment agency, followed by a screening interview—often virtual—to assess language skills and role suitability. If successful, candidates may undergo multiple interview stages, including group discussions, individual evaluations, and sometimes ship tours for insight into life onboard2. Once offered a position, the onboarding process kicks in, involving medical checks, visa arrangements (like the C1/D visa), and training modules. The entire journey from application to boarding can span several weeks to a few months, depending on the role, nationality, and operational needs
