A career in Cruise ship is a coveted job for young people seeking international careers.The job is not very glamorous and entails considerable hard work. Yes, one does get to see different places all over the world and live a great life. The job is well paying but requires good communication and customer care skills.
One of the important requirements of the job is the knowledge off Foreign Language like French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese etc. People from these countries are very frequent tourists often going on such luxurious trips.
Knowledge of a foreign language helps in interactions with international tourists who go on a cruise ship. They are often rich, famous or semi-retired elderly couples. The latter group of people don’t always know international language like English. They will know only their country language and hence it is helpful if people on the cruise can speak their language.
Recently several candidates from the cruise industry did the French Class and Spanish Course at our Center in Kolkata. Several people often do the course online through a one-on-one basis.

However, learning a language requires patience and time. It is not easy but a good faculty can help you transition into the language in less painful way. Foreign Languages are to be learnt over a period of time in a gentle manner. One needs to start at the basic beginners level and gradually progress to a higher level after passing global exams like DELE, DELF or JLPT. The good thing about these exams is that they are accepted globally. Students get credit points when they go abroad for higher studies. People seeking immigration also get credit which they can use to enhance their profiles.
