For up to 42 days, you'll live and breathe alongside your crewmates, making connections that last a lifetime. The voyage is continuous, operating around the clock (24/7), showcasing our solid dedication. With shift patterns of 6 - 8 hours on and the same off, gives you the unique rhythm of life at sea. General hands are normally expected to work 12 weeks on and 6 weeks off, with a few days on land in-between. The perfect job for working hard, then hardly working! Embrace a life where both hard work and leisure come together. Enjoy endless amounts of food, stay connected with Wi-Fi, and earn all year-round while only working 6-8 months, crafting your own sea story.
