In the article How to Make $350K While Traveling the World we discussed how you can make a very nice income while traveling the world.  But the option described in that article is more appropriate for entrepreneurs who are ready to walk down the path of investing time towards putting together a business venture.  Obviously, as an entrepreneur you must have an understanding that, even though what was discussed in that article is very doable - as others have shown - there are no guarantees.  The same old risk-reward equation also applies here:  The higher the risk, the higher the reward.

But if you are not the entrepreneurial type, and you are not willing to taking any risks, but you are still interested in an opportunity to travel the world while performing a regular job, there is another option – working on a cruise ship.  Obviously you will not make the kind of money that was discussed in the article mentioned above, but you can still make a pretty decent living while seeing the world.

The challenge with getting a job on a cruise ship is that it is a very competitive market, and in order to get in you need to know what you are doing – the cruise line industry is one of the most competitive industries to break into.  In order to solve this problem, Neil Maxwell-Keys, an ex-crewmember and hiring specialist for the world’s leading cruise line has put together a eBook called Get a Cruise Ship Job! which provides you with everything you need to know on how to get a job on a cruise ship.

One of the fringe benefits of working on a cruise ship is that, besides visiting incredibly beautiful places, you get to meet a variety of interesting people from many parts of the world.

Make no mistake about it – working on a cruise ship requires dedication and hard work just like any other job.  You are not going to get paid to lay by the pool.  But you will get a chance to take time off and to enjoy the beauty and culture of many foreign locations.  Plus, you will be surrounded by people who are generally happy, and having a good time, which is usually a lot more fun than being stuck in a cubicle farm somewhere.

Take a look at the video below to get a taste for what working on a cruise ship could be like.  But don’t leave to chance your dream to get paid while traveling the world – go into it knowing how to get in so that you don’t get rejected when you apply, potentially further diminishing your chances of getting hired in the future.  After reading Get a Cruise Ship Job! you will be very well prepared to get a great job with a cruise line.
