Selective Crew is the only maritime recruitment agency in Latin America that offers free duty-free sales training before embarkation.
Certified Before Boarding
Every candidate completes our Duty-Free Sales Excellence course and receives a verifiable certificate before their first interview.
Product Knowledge
Our course covers spirits, perfumes, cosmetics, watches and jewelry — exactly what they sell on Starboard and NCL ships.
Real Sales Techniques
Candidates learn the ACES method, objection handling, closing techniques, and how to connect with international guests.
Only the Best Pass
A minimum score of 80% is required to earn the certificate. Candidates who do not reach the threshold are automatically filtered out.
Better prepared candidates. Less ramp-up time.
Selective Crew certified candidates know the products, understand onboard sales dynamics, and are mentally prepared for the cruise environment before day 1.
