Become a shipboard host
If you are male, gregarious, hospitable, and
relatively good looking, you can be paid to travel
on board a luxury cruise ship. That's right, not
only will the cruise itself be entirely free, but
you will be paid a salary in addition.
In return, you simply must agree to act as
companion to those ladies on board the cruise who
find themselves without partners when it comes time
for dinner and dancing.
More and more women are taking cruises alone.
But that doesn't mean they want to eat alone...or
sit alone while everyone else is dancing the
samba...or wander alone in each exotic port of
call. The cruise line wants to ensure that these
women have a good time (and that they return for a
second or third cruise), so they arrange for
debonair and polished older gentlemen to join the
cruise and act as hosts.
Most of the men are retired military officers,
executives, and professional men. In return for
treating their female companions to a few rounds of
drinks at the pool and engaging in lively
conversation over dinner, they are given free
round-trip transportation to the port of departure,
a completely free cruise (including food and
drink), and a sizeable salary.
The two cruise lines that employ the greatest
number of male shipboard companions are Cunard
Lines, 555 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10017, and
Royal Cruise Lines, One Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400,
San Francisco, CA 94111.
