There's no reason you can't get a gig on a ship. Have you tried calling the agencies? Start with ProShip and see what they say. If that doesn't work, pick up a copy of the talent agency directory listed above and just starting calling everybody one by one. Hi Christian – Your website looks good and your recordings sound pro.

I search on the web but the only position available I found was one in the main band in the ship. The thing is that I need the job as soon as possible any help that I can get from you I will appreciated. I play all styles, there in my web site you can find pictures of me and listen to recordings, I have my bio on the page. I have email my page to many agencies but nothing happens. Thank you for your time. Hi David, I’m trying to get a job as a guitar player in a cruise. I search on the web but the only position available I found was one in the main band in the ship.

Unfortunately, you'll need to wait a few years before you can work on ships. My advice it to get through all your school and training, then think about ships again. Hi Noah!

I met the muscians and was able to "fill in" in the piano bar and also was asked to "open" the cruise talent show. I also played in the late night adult only bars. I loved the experience and wondered if there were any type of "internship" on a cruise ship that I could go during the summer. I am 13 years old and a few months ago I went on a Hawaiian cruise.
