Career in Cruise-Ship Management

 Jobs on Cruise Lines have become a more adventurous and enticing option, compared to their more traditional counterpart, for many who wish to pursue a career in hospitality. With the leading global Cruise Lines counting down the days to set sail again, as soon as the travel lockdown is lifted, the demand for Crew Members will be immense! That is why I am here to spill all of the secrets about the unique perks of working on a Cruise Ship.

No other industry has been growing so rapidly in the past ten years as the cruise ship industry. Just for the last four years, all leading cruise lines have doubled their fleets and the number of officers, staff, and crew working on board their ships. Many new cruise ship companies have emerged trying to get their share of the cruise market expansion.


  1. The Money

Obviously, this is the first question everyone has when looking for a job: How much can I earn? On cruise lines, the answer is A LOT! The pay on cruise ships is actually one of its best benefits. You might think you could be earning around the same amount in a similar job on land, but as all of your needs for your life at sea are catered to by the cruise line, there are next to no expenses for you. This means that all of your earnings go straight into your pocket; and did I mention, that this is all tax-free? This is a great way to build up some generous savings while getting paid to travel the world! 

  1. The Benefits

The benefits that come with working on a cruise liner are some of the best across the board. 

  • Firstly, crew members are provided with free accommodation, meals, uniforms, and laundry service during their life onboard. This means, no rent, no utilities, and no bills!
  • In addition, they receive comprehensive medical insurance, and paid air travel to and from the port, in addition to other travel benefits and discounts, even for the family! 
  • Work contracts usually range from 6-8 months with a vacation period of 2-3 months at the end of each contract. Therefore, although you may be spending a long time at sea, you have a generous holiday and a guaranteed job afterward. 
  • Job security in the cruise industry is one of the best, as the industry prefers to renew job contracts of existing crew members, with many working for the same cruise line for even decades. There is also a great opportunity for career advancement through cross-training opportunities and contract renewals. Therefore, even though you may start at the bottom, you can quite quickly work your way upwards in the ranks, and improve your position. 
  1. The Amenities
  • Crew members have access to all of the amenities on the ship in their free time, or when the ship is in port. This includes the pool, spa, gym, and other activities, which means that you can pursue your hobbies and exercise in your free time. In addition, crew members also have access to ‘crew only’ areas, such as private dining halls and lounges. There are also fun activities organized such as excursions, movie nights, live shows, and bingo games! 
  1. The Travel 
  • I don’t think a better way exists to travel and see so much of the world, than by working on a cruise ship. Nowadays cruise liners have ports in pretty much every major location in the world, not to mention the more remote paradise islands which are impossible to reach by plane! On just one cruise contract you can soak up the sun on the Caribbean islands, wander the cobble-stoned streets in the Mediterranean, immerse yourself in the culture and heritage of North Africa, and stroll down Copacabana in Brazil. You will go to sleep in one city, and wake up in another, all while being paid to do so.  
  • While the ship is in port, you are encouraged to disembark and explore the amazing sites that are on offer. Cruise lines offer a variety of different route options for their cruises, so you can make sure to have the chance to explore all that the world has to offer! 
  • Not only do you have the chance to travel, and explore, but traveling is known to help you grow both personally and professionally. Experiencing new and different places helps you become more open-minded and understanding, which are great life skills to take you further in any future career.
  1. The People
  • Last, but definitely not least, the people you will meet during your travels are one of the biggest perks of cruise life. Not only is the clientele aboard the ships diverse and international, but so are the crew and your colleagues. The crew aboard cruise ships are known to come from diverse countries and cultures, so you are bound to meet new and interesting people, and maybe even brush up on your language skills! Many crew members build friendships and relationships for a lifetime from their time onboard. 
  • You will have the chance to develop your communication, teamwork, and leadership skills in an unprecedented way, in an amazingly diverse and multicultural environment. 
  • Now the secrets are out, and you know exactly how great life on the decks can be! The cruising lifestyle is definitely a unique and exciting one, full of amazing experiences, new horizons, and lifelong friendships.

वैसे तो उत्तराखंड के लोग हर क्षेत्र में आगे हैं लेकिन होटल और रेस्टोरेंट उद्योग में इनका कोई सानी नहीं हैं। दुनिया का शायद ही ऐसा कोई होटल या रेस्टोरेंट हो जहाँ की रसोई में उतराखंडी न हो। हर जगह अपनी मेहनत और अपने कौशल से अपनी उपस्थिति दर्ज कराते हैं और केवल उपस्थिति ही नहीं अपनी पाक कला के हुनर का डंका भी बजवाते हैं।     अब शेफ आलम सिंह को ही ले लो। उत्तराखंड के चमोली गढ़वाल के एक छोटे से गांव का लड़का आज एम्सटर्डम, नीदरलैंड के एक रेस्टोरेंट में अपने स्वाद का जलवा दिखा रहा है।  कोट गांव, पोस्ट ऑफिस कोठली, थराली, चमोली गढ़वाल का एक युवा आलम सिंह पुत्र श्री आनंद सिंह नीदरलैंड देश की राजधानी एम्सटर्डम में सैफ्रोन इंडियन कुजीन रेस्टोरेंट में बड़े ही शांत लेकिन निपुणता से भारतीय व्यंजन बनाता है। उसकी कड़ाही करी की पाक कला इतनी शानदार हो चुकी है कि केवल ढाई साल से एम्सटर्डम में रहते हुए शहर के बेहतरीन भारतीय शेफ में गिनती होने लगी है और इसका प्रमाण वहाँ की प्रतिष्ठित पत्रिका वस्सेनार है। यह पत्रिका नेदरलैंड की मातृभाषा डच में छपी है। शेफ आलम सिंह जो 2009-10 में कलिनरी कॉलेज ऑफ होटल मैनेजम

चमकते चेहरे के पीछे मेहनत का रंग

चमकते चेहरे के पीछे मेहनत का रंग (There is always a hard work behind every shining face)                                बड़े बड़े और भव्य भवन, जहाँ की हर दीवार कुछ ना कुछ बोलती हो, जिसका कोना-कोना रोशनी से नहाया हुआ हो, उसकी छत को देखो तो मानो पूरा का पूरा तारामंडल एक जगह समेट दिया हो, साफ सुथरा फर्श जहाँ धूल का लेश मात्र भी नाम ना हो, चारों ओर भीनी भीनी महक और बड़े बड़े, आरामदायक सोफा, इधर ही कहीं कड़क और इस्त्री किए हुए कपड़ो में कोई नौजवान युवक या कोई खूबसूरत सी युवती आपको दिखाई देती है जिसके चमकते चेहरे को देख कर ही अनायास आपको खुशी मिलती है। अब तो आप समझ ही गए होंगे कि ये कहीं और नही बल्कि सितारा होटल है, जहाँ पर कुछ इसी तरीके का माहौल मिलता है।                                अब अगर इसी माहौल को एक बार फिर से ढंग से देखें और कल्पना करें कि इस आरामदायक माहौल में अगर आपको कोई चेहरा ना दिखे तो क्या तब भी यही दृश्य आपको खुशी देगा? मुझे लगता है कि नही। तब ये बड़े और आलीशान भवन कोई चमकदार डरावने बंगले लगेंगे इससे अधिक और कुछ नहीं। इसी के साथ अगर ये भी कल्पना करे कि यही चमकदार और दमकते च
