American Hawaii Cruise Line
The only U.S. registered cruise line (all the other U.S. based cruise lines are registered somewhere else) with American built ship and all American crew. The company has been created to cruise specifically in Hawaiian waters. Very much family orientated cruises (families with children and retired couples). Somewhat more quiet atmosphere without 24-hour entertainment and night-disco activities. Gambling is forbidden in the State of Hawaii, so there isn't any casino staff onboard. All other shipboard positions are available, but mostly to U.S. citizens (unlike all the other cruise lines which hire personnel from all over the world). American Hawaii Cruises is planning to built two new 1.900-passenger ships. The first is expected to enter service by 2003.

Costa Cruise Line
The parent company of Costa Cruise Line, the Italian based Costa Crociere was bought by Carnival Cruise Line in 1997. Needless to say that Carnival left Costa operating as a separate brand, preserving the style and the image Costa has created for over 50 years in the passenger ship business. As the phrase "Cruising Italian Style" implies, everything onboard seems to be molto Italiano, from the ships design to the celebrated Italian cuisine. In the past the cruise line used to employ all Italian crew, now days they hire personnel from all over the world, although Italians are in key management positions. It is fun to work for this cruise line with it's European atmosphere, passengers are also a mix of Europeans and Americans and the ships change their itineraries regularly (summers in Europe and winters in the Caribbean or South America)
COSTA CRUISESNo matter what travel destinations you’re considering, a cruise vacation is the best way to travel in comfort and style
Carnival Cruise Line
The Fun Ships"- that is exactly what the Carnival ships are. More affordable cruises, lots of neon lights, not that much elegance and formal atmosphere. Carnival is catering towards younger passengers and the main objective aboard the vessels is party, party and party again. That makes Carnival the richest cruise line in the world (the company owns also Holland America Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Seabourn Cruise Line, Cunard Line and Windstar Cruises) which operate independently as separate brands and target a more upscale clientele). What can employees expect from Carnival? Slightly lower salaries and somewhat lower standards when selecting candidates comparing to most of the other major cruise lines. Carnival crew members are like their clientele, they like to party and most of them believe that the more "loose" atmosphere and the presence of younger passengers makes up for the slightly lower salaries.

Celebrity Cruises
The main concept of Celebrity Cruises is to offer almost deluxe cruises at more affordable prices (something impossible at first sight), but the company has turned this concept into winning formula throughout the past seven-eight years. The cruise line introduced a new generation of cruise ships, representing classic cruising, updated for contemporary life style. Royal Caribbean International acquired Celebrity Cruises in 1997, but Celebrity continues to operate as a separate brand. One of the good cruise lines to work for, it offers competitive salaries and fairness to it's employees.

Cunard Line
Cunard Line has a long history stretching back to the era of great ocean liners at a time when the only way to cross the Atlantic was by ship. Now days with all the Trans-Atlantic traffic gone to the airlines, Cunard has to adapt to the new economic realities in order to survive. Changing owners a few times, Cunard was finally acquired by Carnival Cruise Line and merged with Seabourn Cruise Line (three of the Cunard's ships were transferred to Seabourn). Like any other cruise line Carnival has purchased (Holland America, Windstar, Seabourn, Costa), Cunard was left to operate as a separate brand, preserving the image Cunard has built through the last century. Queen Elizabeth 2 is the only passenger vessel offering scheduled transatlantic service (Southampton - New York) besides her annual cruise around the world.

Holland America Cruise Line
When Carnival Cruise Line acquired Holland America some years ago they were smart enough to leave all the operations in the hands of Holland America's management instead of just repainting the ships with the Carnival logo. Holland America has established quite different image than Carnival, targeting completely different sort of passengers (more mature folks) and offering more formal and stylish cruises and service. The majority of Holland America passengers do not even know that the company is owned by Carnival. On the employees side, Holland America is paying slightly higher salaries, but they are expecting also a higher quality of service and crew members party mainly between themselves (considering the age group of majority of the passenger). Holland America is offering also worldwide itineraries, while Carnival is concentrated mainly on the Caribbean market (with a few exceptions).

Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruise Line offers midrange mainstream cruising experience on modern cruise vessels with diverse itineraries. The company is somewhat behind of it's main competitors (Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Holland America) and targets middle class passengers, mostly from the U.S. and Canada. Norwegian Cruise Line offers good working conditions for it's crew members and competitive salaries, but in case you could secure a position with any of the above mentioned cruise lines, it is our opinion that they are a better choice.

Orient Lines
The cruise line originated in 1991 with the purchase of the former Russian ocean liner Alexandr Pushkin, a ship with ice-strengthened hull. After two years of rebuilding the ship was renamed to Marco Polo. The idea from the very beginning was to offer upscale cruises for experienced and adventurous passengers to exotic, unusual places at reasonable prices. Marco Polo is the largest ship cruising to offbeat destinations on regular basis and one of only two luxury ships with permission to cruise Antarctica. The cruise line is catering to experienced, mature and sophisticated travelers (mostly from the U.S., Canada and Britain), who would come on the cruise more for the destination and ship's ambiance, rather than holiday-at-sea party atmosphere. What is this all mean from crew member's point of view? Potential employees should also possess good manners and have broader interests, cruise staff members can not expect to be able to entertain passengers with the typical mainstream-cruise-industry activities like line dancing, Island Night and karaoke parties only.

Princess Cruises
Indeed, a Princess ship (the Island Princess) was used for the popular TV series "The Love Boat" and the cruise line still benefits from that image among the older folks which are the majority of the cruise ship passengers.

The company also has a good reputation for treating well it's employees which explains the high rate of returning crew.

Royal Olympic Cruises
Royal Olympic Cruises was created in 1995 as a result of the merger of two well known Greek cruise lines - Sun Line Cruises and Epirotiki Line. Basically Royal Olympic operates the ships under two brands - the "blue ships" (Stella Solaris, Stella Oceanis, Odysseus, World Renaissance and Olympic Voyager) and the "white" ships" (Triton, Orpheus and Olympic Countess). The first brand is offering more upscale service to adventurous passengers, refined , conservative ambiance and style of traditional oceanliner. The "white ships" are similar in their appeal, but at somewhat lower quality level. On the crew and staff side, Royal Olympic offers slightly lower salaries than the well established U.S. based cruise lines, but the lifestyle on board and the interesting itineraries attract employees to this cruise line.

This unusual cruse line, a division of Holland America Line and owned by Carnival Cruise Line, is offering a deluxe combination of sailing ship romance and the comfort and amenities of a cruise ship. The itineraries are also a combination of popular ports and off-the-beaten-track places. Passengers are from all ages, international collection of Europeans, Latin Americans and North Americans. They could have a different income, but they all share a common lifestyle - active, affluent individualists, who would rather not go for the mainstream cruise ship experience.
