The Dishwasher position aboard the train traveling through the Alaskan wilderness presents a remarkable seasonal employment opportunity for individuals seeking a dynamic, adventure-filled summer job. This role is vital in supporting meal service operations and collaborating closely with line cooks to ensure smooth kitchen functions onboard the train. Dishwashers contribute significantly by maintaining cleanliness, sanitizing equipment and service ware, and occasionally assisting with food preparation and presentation. This job uniquely combines work with moments of awe-inspiring natural beauty experienced from open-air platforms between the rail cars during downtimes. Safety and sanitation are paramount, with stringent adherence to company and state sanitation guidelines throughout the shift. The position demands physical stamina as it involves lifting heavy items, standing or walking for long periods, and working in a fast-paced, commercial kitchen setting. It requires individuals who can work independently while effectively contributing to a team focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Employment with Holland America-Princess offers more than just a job; it provides a chance to be part of an industry leader dedicated to exceptional customer service, environmental responsibility, and sustainable tourism development in the Alaska-Yukon region. Seasonal employees enjoy a range of benefits including a free cruise after the first season, referral rewards, employee activities, and opportunities for professional growth, all within a culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. This role is an excellent fit for candidates who meet the eligibility criteria, including the ability to work in the United States and obtaining necessary food handling certifications. Working as a dishwasher on this scenic Alaskan train promises not only professional development but also an unforgettable summer experience against one of the world’s most spectacular natural backdrops.
