Set Sail: The Canadian’s Guide to Cruise Ship Jobs (2025 Edition)

Set Sail: The Canadian’s Guide to Cruise Ship Jobs is the ultimate digital resource for Canadians who want to travel the world and earn a steady income while doing it. Whether you're just starting out, looking for a career change, or simply craving adventure, this guide will walk you step-by-step through how to land a job at sea — and thrive once you’re onboard.

Written by Canadian cruise veteran Lee Brinkman, this 52-page practical and inspiring guide covers everything you need to know:

• What cruise ship life is really like

• Which jobs are available (and which ones pay best)

• How to apply and stand out — even with no experience

• What to pack, what to expect, and how to adjust

• Taxes, contracts, and how Canadians can legally work at sea

• What happens after — and how to turn cruise work into a launching pad for future travel, remote work, or financial freedom

You’ll also find updated job market info for 2025, a cruise line and recruiter directory, new chapters on digital nomad life and post-pandemic changes, and personal insights from someone who’s been there.

If you're ready to set sail — and get paid to see the world — this is the guide you’ve been waiting for.
