About the role
Cruise Events Executive
This person is responsible for making sure special charter cruises and themed cruises run smoothly from start to finish.
Think of it as being an Event Manager + Project Manager on a cruise ship.
What's a charter cruise?
A charter cruise is when a company, organisation, travel group, music event, or special-interest group books all or part of a ship.
Examples:

- Track budgets and costs
Basically: organise everything.
During the cruise
- Travel onboard the ship

- Make sure activities happen as planned
- Work with ship management and hotel teams
Basically: make sure the event doesn't fall apart.
After the cruise
- Gather feedback
- Review what went well and what didn't
- Write reports
- Recommend improvements for future charters
Basically: learn lessons and improve next time.
Who are they looking for?
Someone who:
- Is very organised
- Can manage projects and deadlines
- Is good with customers and stakeholders
- Stays calm under pressure
- Doesn't mind travelling
- Can juggle lots of moving parts at once
Cruise experience helps but isn't required.
What is the company REALLY hiring for?
Someone who can say:
"Tell me what the client wants, give me a budget, and I'll make sure the whole cruise event happens successfully."
