We are proud to announce the release of our inaugural wage benchmarking reports for staff working onboard cruise ships in hospitality-related positions.

This groundbreaking new offering includes comprehensive data on roles within job families such as activity & entertainment, food & beverage, and housekeeping, covering individual positions such as chefs, bartenders, waitstaff, cabin stewards, and entertainment coordinators.

We are a leader in maritime salary and bonus benchmarking after establishing the ‘Maritime HR Association’ in 2005 for a founding group of eight tanker companies in need of independent third-party benchmarking information. Today, over 150 companies participate in our salary surveys, allowing participating companies to ensure competitive pay and help improve staff retention.

These new reports for cruise ship hotel staff complement our existing reports, which already cover deck & engine positions of officers and engineers on both cruise and merchant ships. Given the unique compensation structure in the cruise industry, which often includes bonuses and gratuities for hotel staff, these reports provide a comprehensive analysis by incorporating these additional elements of remuneration.

For more information about the wage benchmarking reports, please contact Helen McCaughran or Monique Turner.
