Welcome to the CruiseTechies blog!

Whether you’ve been on a cruise ship or not, you’ve likely seen adverts for all of the spectacular shows that they offer. Which means…they have theatres. Which means…those theatres need to be staffed by theatre technicians. Which means… cruise lines are always on the lookout to hire good techies. Which means... the cruise industry is a great career option for you! You get to travel the world while doing a job you love!
