Here’s the latest I can provide based on current public information.
Answer
MSC Cruises maintains a global careers portal for onboard and ashore roles, with frequent new job postings across hospitality, marine, and corporate functions. For the most up-to-date listings and to apply, use MSC Cruises’ official careers site.

Official portals and where to apply:
- MSC Cruises official careers site: careers.msccruises.com (global overview and search for onboard and ashore roles). This is the primary source for openings and application steps. [source context: MSC official career pages]
- Onboard roles section: careers.msccruises.com/gb/en/msccruises/onboard-roles (specific page for positions aboard ships). [source context: MSC official career pages]
- MSC Ship Management and related regional portals may list vacancies or crewing opportunities, sometimes through partner recruitment sites. For example, MSC’s broader corporate careers hub lists roles across the MSC network. [source context: MSC corporate/press materials]

Typical positions you’ll see:
- Onboard hospitality and service roles (waitstaff, bartenders, galley, housekeeping)
- Technical and deck/engine positions (deck officers, engineers, electrical officers)
- Guest services and destination-focused roles (yacht club management, guest services agents)
- Corporate/ashore roles (human resources, marketing, IT, crewing, training)
- Specialties on Ocean Cay and other vessels (aquarist, entertainment operations, sport coaches)
-
How to approach applications:
- Create or update a profile on the MSC careers portal, uploading your CV/resume and relevant certifications (e.g., STCW, medical clearance, vaccination status where required).
- Use filters on the site to search by ship/offshore location, role type, or visa/country eligibility.
- Monitor postings regularly, as cruise lines typically refresh openings weekly to biweekly.
-
Helpful tips:
- Be prepared for remote interviews and online assessments; have your vaccination, passport, and work permits ready as applicable.
- If you’re targeting a specific region (e.g., North America, Europe, Asia), check for region-specific portals or partner recruitment sites that MSC uses for local outreach.
- Beware of third-party recruitment scams; always apply through the official MSC portals and verify any contact points.
Illustrative example
- If you’re a hospitality professional seeking onboard roles, start on the official onboard roles page, filter for “waiter/guest services” or “galley staff,” and tailor your resume to highlight guest-centric service, language skills, and prior cruise or hospitality experience.
