Grandi Navi Veloci is the youngest cruise line in the Gruppo Grimaldi, founded in 1992, as the result of a decision to introduce a new notion of ships in the Mediterranean-ships that could respond to the need for fast passenger, car and merchandise transport while combining the comfort and luxury of a cruise ship. The President of Grandi Navi Veloci is Aldo Grimaldi, who founded the Gruppo Grimaldi over 50 year ago along with his brothers Guido, Luigi and Mario; today the group is divided up into offices in Naples and Genoa. Today the Gruppo Grimaldi Genova, the first private Italian shipping group, is made up of four companies: Grandi Navi Veloci, Grandi Traghetti di Navigazione, Gilnavi and Consorzio Grimaldi Group.

The sea adventures of Grandi Navi Veloci make up a success story marked by repeated arrivals of spectacular ships: in 1993 the M/n Majestic, the first cruise-ferry of the fleet,  in 1994 the M/n Splendid, in 1996 the M/n Fantastic,  in 1998 the M/n Excellent in 1999 the M/n Excelsior and Victory, bought in Japan and re-rigged at Cantieri Mariotti in accordance with GNV's high standards. In 2002 M/n La Superba an homage to the city of Genoa. in 2003 M/n La Suprema With the Majestic, the market has awarded the revolutionary characteristics of this new marine vessel on the Genoa-Palermo line, just as it awarded, the following year, the Mediterranean mini-cruise formula launched with the MS Splendid on the Genoa-Palermo-Tunis-Malta course, and after the summer season on the Genoa-Porto Torres line. In the meantime, the Line increased its efforts to promote this innovative product, specifically with high impact advertising campaigns in trade fairs in Italy and abroad and through an attentive policy vis-à-vis travel agencies. "Online" navigation began in '96, with website, while, again over the course of the same year, "jumboization" work commenced on the MS Splendid (a high technology surgical operation to increase the number of cabins and enlarge stowage capacity).  In 1997 GNV (with the entire Gruppo Grimaldi) earned ISO 9002 quality systems certification ­ the first recognition of its kind for ferry-boats in Italy ­ and began to sail on the Livorno ­Palermo line. With the arrival of the Excellent, the year later, a new course was inaugurated, the Genoa-Olbia line, a strategic course for summer tourist coasting navigation with the MS, while a historic international course was reopened with the MS Fantastic on the Genoa-Barcelona line. To finish off the year, the first Grandi Navi Veloci agency was inaugurated in Milan. In '99, after the baptism of the MS Excelsior, the flagship of the fleet, the MS Victory began sailing the line in June, while in November Grandi Navi Veloci was listed on the Italian Stock Exchange Telematic Market. The year 2000 opened with dream cruises and closed with a clamorous 38% increase in passenger transportation. On March 22nd, Grandi Navi Veloci marks an important event in the field of the cabotage in the Mediterranean which the introduction of m/s La Superba. This ship, for its characteristics, can be defines as the biggest and fastest cruise ferry in the Mediterranean Sea. Meanwhile at Nuovi Cantieri Apuania they are building a twin ship: La Suprema. La Superba is employed with cruises traffic and contributes to increase the number of passengers of the 31,7% and of 7,1% for linear meter regarding the commercial vehicles embarked by GNV during the month of July and august.

15 Incredible Cruise Ship Jobs (Get Paid To Travel!)

Posted: October 16, 2023 | Last updated: October 16, 2023

Traveling the world while getting paid to do it might sound like a dream, but it can be a reality if you take a job on a cruise ship.

Of course, this type of work isn’t for everyone — the hours can be long, and it may mean a lot of time away from home. But there are plenty of benefits as well.

If working for a cruise line sounds ideal, there are plenty of career opportunities on board. Here are 15 jobs that can help  boost your bank account  as you travel the world.

Editor's note:  All salary figures are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

12 legit ways to make extra cash

Activities coordinator

Even short cruises are packed with activities for travelers to engage in. Among other things, you'll find games, happy hours and live music.

An activities coordinator is similar to an event planner. In this role, you oversee things like recreation on board and coordinating shore excursion activities. The BLS does not offer wage information for this position.

If you want to start traveling more — and get paid to do it — this can be a good role to consider.

It’s no secret that people on cruises like to drink. Many cruise lines offer a food and alcohol package as part of the booking process.

The amount of money you can make working as a bartender on a cruise ship varies greatly, depending on whether guests are expected to tip. But the average salary for bartenders is $29,380 annually.

Casino dealer

Working as a dealer at a cruise casino can be an exciting gig. These workers may oversee poker, blackjack, roulette, and more games.

Gambling service workers make $31,290 a year. However, as with tending bar, the actual wages for casino workers on a cruise can vary.

Many cruise ships have cafeterias and restaurants for when guests are in the mood for fine dining.

Cruise ship chefs may be involved in cooking and planning menus for guests and staff. Chefs or head cooks make $56,520 on average annually.

Deckhands help maintain the cruise ship. They may be involved in keeping these massive ships running, including cleaning and maintaining equipment, loading cargo, and getting passengers safely on board.

The experience required to work as a deckhand can vary greatly depending on the job description. The BLS does not offer salary information for this position.

Entertainer

Cruise lines hire all sorts of entertainers, from dancers to cover bands and magicians.

Working on a cruise ship can be a great way to hone and improve your craft or even take it in a different direction. The average wage for entertainers and performers is $29.67 an hour, which equates to about $61,713 annually.

7 Things to Do If You’re Barely Scraping by Financially

Entertainment director

Cruise ships also need people to manage their entertainers, particularly if the ship has a lot of shows and performances scheduled.

Entertainment directors may be involved in scheduling staff, planning performances, and doing administrative work. The average salary for entertainment/recreation managers is $67,220 annually.

Fitness instructor

Many cruise ships also offer various fitness classes, including yoga, Zumba, spin, and more.

For qualified instructors, this can be a great way to stay healthy, make money, and travel the world all at the same time. The average fitness instructor makes $45,380 annually.

Hair/makeup artist

On cruise ships, hair and makeup artists may work in spas, providing services to guests looking to get pampered while on board, and may be needed to work with the ship’s performers.

The BLS groups barbers, hairstyles, and cosmetologists together and states an average of $33,400 annual salary for these workers.

6 Clever Ways to Crush Your Debt

Hotel director

Since a cruise ship is essentially a floating hotel, many employees with experience working in hospitality are needed.

Hotel directors ensure that guests are comfortable and enjoy their experience. They may also be involved in planning and coordinating cruise activities.

The average salary for lodging managers is $61,910 annually.

Some cruise ships also hire nurses to provide care to passengers and cruise staff.

The amount of money nurses make on average usually depends on the type of nurse. Registered nurses (RNs) make $81,220 annually. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) make $54,620 a year.

Massage therapist

Many cruise passengers opt to take advantage of spa services. Massage therapists may work in a spa or travel to guests’ rooms with their equipment to provide massages.

Licensed massage therapists make just under $49,860 annually on average.

9 Things You Must Do Before The Next Recession

Cruise ships also frequently employ security staff to ensure the safety of guests and crew members. These workers may patrol the ship regularly and respond to any issues that come up.

The average salary for security guards is $33,030 annually.

Eating often and well is a big draw for many cruise passengers. Ships often have several restaurants on board and employ experienced servers to staff them.

Pay for these workers can vary, depending on the cruise line’s tipping policy. The average salary for a server in the U.S. is $29,120 annually.

Sales associate

Part of the beauty of the typical cruise ship is that it’s kind of like a floating mall, filled with gift shops and retail stores galore. Ships often need many sales associates to staff these stores.

Again, depending on the cruise line and the job, the pay for these gigs may vary. However, BLS data puts the average salary for a retail sales worker at $30,750 annually.

That’s not huge money, but perhaps it's enough for students to get ahead financially during breaks between school years.

Bottom line

Working as a cruise crew member is certainly not for everyone — lodging for staff can be cramped, days can be long, and you might be away from home for weeks at a time.

But for those looking to tap into a new source of income as they travel, it just may be a win-win situation.
