Bridging the Gap Between Ambition and Experience
At Selective Crew, we maintain rigorous standards for the candidates we present to our cruise line partners. We look for specific experience, technical skills, and a deep understanding of the shipboard environment.
We understand that many passionate candidates have the personality and the drive to succeed at sea but may lack the specific technical experience—particularly in Luxury Retail and Hospitality—required to pass the initial screening.
Our Official Training Partner: ShipService.pro
To help potential crew members bridge this gap, we have partnered with ShipService.pro, a premier e-learning platform dedicated to the cruise industry.
While Selective Crew focuses on recruitment and placement, ShipService.pro focuses on skills development. Their courses are designed by industry veterans to teach the specific protocols, sales techniques, and lifestyle adjustments required for a successful contract.
