New Cruise Ships and Cruise Job Opportunities for 2011
Renee Ruggero
The cruise ship building boom is continuing for 2011 which equates to even more cruise ship jobs. The bottom line is that just over 7,000 cruise ship jobs will need to be filled for 2011. Do you want to fill one of these jobs?
Although we are in the middle of 2010, it's not too early to get an idea of which new cruise ships will debut in 2011. The launch of Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas will close off 2010 in December. Being the sister ship to RCI's Oasis of the Seas it will be another mega-ship at 220,000 GRT. Here are the other major cruise ships to be launched in 2011. Will you be working on one of them?
Royal Caribbean International
The Allure of the Seas
Estimated Inaugural: December 2010
Size (GRT): 222,000
Passenger Capacity: 5,400
Crew Needed: 1,650
The Allure of the Seas is the sister ship to the Oasis of the Seas and therefore the second of two of the biggest cruise ships in the world. It will sail 7-night Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale starting in December 2010. To apply for cruise ship jobs with Royal Caribbean Cruises click here

Unlike most cruise lines that use the concession, Steiner for salon, spa, and fitness, the Marina will be using Canyon Ranch as its concessionaire. Other ships in the Oceania fleet are the Regatta, Insignia, and Nautica, all much smaller than the Marina at only 33,000+ GRT.
