At Crew Life at Sea, we help people explore and prepare for careers on cruise ships. Based in Cape Town, South Africa, our recruitment team supports applicants as they move from their first application through interviews and the joining process. Our recruitment service is free for applicants.
We guide candidates through practical steps such as applying, preparing for interviews, gathering documents, and understanding the visa, training, medical and clearance requirements that may apply to a role. Whether you are new to the cruise industry or already have experience at sea, our aim is to make each stage clear and easier to understand.
We recruit across hospitality, entertainment, culinary, housekeeping, youth, retail, spa, deck, technical, medical and guest services roles. Where relevant, we also provide guidance on C1/D and Schengen visas, STCW training, medical requirements, police clearance and other joining documents.
Our goal is to give applicants useful information, realistic expectations and straightforward guidance from application through to embarkation.
