Which means... the cruise industry is a great career option for you! You get to travel the world while doing a job you love! How cool is that! |
But, what is it like to work on a cruise ship? You can easily search “jobs on cruise ships”, but where can you find information specifically about what it’s like to be a theatre tech on a cruise ship.

CruiseTechies can help you! Here you will find a plethora of information about which cruise lines hire theatre techs and how best to contact them, how much experience is needed to apply for a tech theatre job on a cruise ship, what parts of the world you can travel in, how long of a contract do you have to commit to, as well as lots of information about the type of tech theatre jobs cruise lines hire for – for instance, some cruise ship theatres have a dedicated Stage Manager, and some expect the tech crew to share that role. On some ships lighting technicians are expected to run sound, and sound technicians are expected to run lights.
