The majority of spa jobs on cruise ships are dominated by two separate cruise line concessionaires, Steiner Leisure (One Spa World) and Canyon Ranch Spa Club. Both Steiner and Canyon Ranch are third party vendors of the cruise lines which mean that they are responsible for hiring, training and employment of all spa personnel.
Most modern cruise ships are equipped with elaborate spas staffed by hairstylists, massage therapists, nail technicians, beauty therapists, an acupuncturist, a Medi-Spa physician, receptionists, personal trainers, and a spa manager. The onboard spa menus include a range of hair services, manicures, pedicures, facials, peels, massages, wraps, and medi-services.
The spa professionals that work on the cruise ships must also be knowledgeable in all the services provided by the concession that they work for. They are expected to actively promote spa services and products, host Fitness and Metabolism seminars, Detox for Weight Loss Seminars and others. This is where previous retail sales or customer service experience would be an asset for an applicant.
Depending on the cruise ship job that you are applying for, you will be required to meet specific requirements regarding experience and education.
