What makes working and living on board river ships special
The special thing about a job on board a river cruise ship is not just the exciting routes through the most beautiful river landscapes in Europe and other parts of the world. Due to the small size of the ships and the small number of guests, you have the opportunity to provide individual service. One big difference to ocean cruises is that most river cruise ships do not operate all year round. Most river ships take a break for several months in the winter. So you can work on board for a whole season – shorter assignments or contracts over the summer months are also possible.

What awaits you on board our river ships
The work on board a river cruise ship is unique – especially because of the small number of guests and a maximum of 30 to 60 crew members. The team comes from all over the world, and the guests are also often international – so English is a basic requirement on river boats. German is also relevant in interaction with the guests. Openness, understanding and mutual respect are important for working on board. We expect qualified, dedicated commitment, combined with the right amount of passion for the catering and hotel sector. During your contract you will work 7 days a week – with 2 days off a month that you can use to explore the destinations.

Always be a ship’s length ahead: The personal development of every single crew member is very important to us – therefore with a lot of motivation and commitment our crew members have a good chance of building a career within a short time.
