Finding a job at sea shouldn't mean trawling scattered Facebook groups, paying an agency fee just to be considered, or wondering whether a listing is even real. Embarking Crew is a dedicated job board for the cruise and maritime industry, built to make that process direct, transparent, and free for the people doing the work.
We connect crew members — from entertainment and hospitality to technical and deck/engine roles — with cruise lines, crewing agencies, and production companies hiring for contracts at sea. Employers post real openings and search verified crew profiles. Crew members create a free profile, browse jobs, apply directly, and connect with other crew through Crew Bar.
Searching, applying, and messaging on Embarking Crew is, and always will be, free for crew members. Employers pay to post and promote listings — never job seekers. We believe that's the only fair way to run a job board in an industry with a real history of agencies charging fees to the people who can least afford them.
Embarking Crew is an independent project built by someone with direct ties to the cruise industry, aiming to make crew hiring simpler and more trustworthy for everyone involved. Full registration details are available in our Legal Notice.
