Sample Cover Letter for Cruise Ship Staff

Jobs in the Cruise or luxury liner industry have contracts that span an average of 6-8 months. You will spend the whole duration at sea and some few hours on port when allowed. After the contract, its totally up to you if you want to pursue another contract. Technically, you don't have to work throughout the year, just a few months of hard work then you can take a good vacation.

Here is an effective sample cover letter for applying for a job at a Cruise ship:
