Job Description
Norwegian Cruise Line, a leading global cruise company, invites enthusiastic and hospitality-driven individuals to explore exciting career opportunities onboard the M/S Pride of America, a unique vessel sailing year-round in the stunning Hawaiian Islands. Established in 2005, Pride of America is notable for being the first US-flagged cruise ship in nearly fifty years and remains the only major American registered cruise ship serving the Hawaiian market. This vessel cruises from Honolulu to destinations such as Kahului and Lahaina on Maui, as well as Nawiliwili on Kauai.
Operating under the United States flag, Pride of America employs a fully US crew, consisting of around 935 dedicated crew members. The ship’s adherence to US regulations ensures a distinctive service experience for its guests, emphasizing safety, quality, and cultural authenticity in all aspects of operation. This creates a welcoming and vibrant work environment where hospitality professionals can thrive and build rewarding careers.
Currently, Norwegian Cruise Line is seeking energetic and experienced individuals for a variety of shipboard roles. Open positions include Assistant Cook (Prep Cook), Assistant Waiter, Laundry Personnel, Stateroom Attendant (Hotel Room Housekeeping), Utility (Janitorial roles in Galley and Hotel), and Waiter. These roles are critical in delivering exceptional guest experiences and maintaining the high standards of service and cleanliness for which Pride of America is renowned.
The ideal candidates for these positions are hospitality-minded professionals with recent and relevant experience in their respective fields. Employment with Norwegian Cruise Line offers competitive wages starting at $16.00 per hour, along with significant benefits including overtime pay, gratuity opportunities for eligible employees, paid training, and substantial personal savings due to provided room, food, and transportation on board.
Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line supports its workforce with family and friends discounts, fostering a supportive community atmosphere aboard the ship. Prospective applicants should be aware that a high school diploma or GED is required, and candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. Furthermore, they must be eligible for U.S. Coast Guard credentials, including a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) and Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC). Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, able to pass a physical exam and drug screening, and have a reasonably clear background to qualify.
This is a full-time in-person employment opportunity offering not just a job, but a lifestyle immersed in the beauty and culture of Hawaii while advancing your career in the global cruise industry. Norwegian Cruise Line regularly hosts virtual job fairs to provide detailed information about life on board and to conduct direct interviews, making the recruitment process accessible and transparent. Participating in these informative sessions is a mandatory step for interview consideration.
Choosing a career on the Pride of America means joining a team dedicated to delivering unforgettable guest experiences amid the breathtaking Hawaiian islands, all while gaining valuable industry experience and enjoying a supportive employment package.
