Ready to swap the hotel lobby for the high seas?
We’re looking for experienced Hotel General Managers to lead the hotel operation onboard large, busy, mass-market cruise ships.
Previous cruise ship Hotel Director/Hotel GM experience is very welcome, but it isn’t essential. We’re also particularly interested in speaking to successful land-based Hotel GMs who are ready to take their experience into a completely different operating environment.
What we’re looking for You’ll need at least 3 years’ full-time GM experience managing a large, complex hospitality operation, ideally:
A large resort

A multi-property or cluster operation

A high-volume hotel

A large property with a recognised international hotel brand

Or a large cruise ship hotel operation

You should be comfortable leading and developing a large, highly diverse multinational team , managing multiple departments and keeping standards high in an extremely busy,



fast-paced operation.
We’re looking for someone who is:
Hands-on, visible and operational

Genuinely guest-centric

A strong people leader and developer

Commercially and financially aware

Calm under pressure

Versátil, pragmatic and solutions-focused

Comfortable working with different cultures, personalities and leadership styles

The lifestyle Cruise ship life isn’t a normal hotel GM job. You’ll live and work onboard, travel extensively and spend long periods away from home.
Typical rotations are approximately 4 months onboard followed by 2 months' vacation, so you must be able to spend around 8 months of the year at sea.
Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates worldwide.
