How do i get a massage therapist job on an Australian cruise ship?
Posted by admin on Apr 29, 2010
I live in Australia and I’m doing a Diploma of Massage Therapy. I’ll be finishing it in time for Summer next year and I would love to get a job on an Australian Cruise ship as a massage therapist.
Can someone advise me as to how I would do this and what the working conditions are like?
Thanks
Most of the spa workers for the major cruise lines are hired through recruiting agencies like these:
Harding Brothers
http://www.hardingspa.co.uk/
Steiner

Days are long and you’ll share a cabin with 2 or 3 roommates. You sign a contact for 5-8 months. But you housing, food and medical insurance are taken care of. And most importantly, beer is a $1 at the crew bar!
Go down to the docks & find the Captain or whomever does the hiring. Offer a free massage & see what that gets you. You will have to promote yourself, so be prepared.
