Is it hard to get a job on a cruise ship? It’s always been hard to get a job on a cruise ship, but the global pause in cruising has made it so much harder as there are thousands of experienced cruise ship workers that are now out of work.

A cruise-ship employee’s living costs can be much lower than those of a land-based worker, since they don’t have to pay rent or buy food. The 35 current and former cruise-ship employees who spoke with Business Insider had average monthly earnings of about $3,233 and median monthly earnings of about $2,600.

Mostly Indian citizens working in merchant ships or cruise ships are considered as seafarers by the income tax act. However, all of them do not have to pay tax. The residency status is calculated based on the number of days spend within the boundaries of India by a seafarer during the tax assessment year.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

1. Level of Education. Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree preferably in Economics, Business Administration, or Tourism Management.
2. Professional Experience. At least 3-5 years’ management in the hospitality sector (hotel/cruise industry); experience in a large hospitality group is a plus.
3. Language Requirement.
