London Wellness Academy: Enhance Your CV With an Onboard Contract
Embarking on a career at sea is the adventure of a lifetime, but what happens after you complete your nine-month contract on board ship? Here are some career options that are available to you. We take a look at the life skills and career skills that are gained when working on board a cruise ship, and how this enhances your CV and prospects for the future, and how the experience can supercharge your career as a professional.
What are the biggest benefits of doing a cruise ship contract?
It’s the most rewarding way to travel the world and earning money. With a huge amount of self-discipline and entrepreneurial skills developed while gaining experience working on international waters with a diverse clientele of multiple of nationalities that takes you out of your comfort zone and teaches you people skills that you will just not experience in a spa on land at home.
How will London Wellness Academy training help your future career?
The training is strict and professional. You are trained to look and act professionally at all times, while the independent working environment builds your confidence and business acumen. Your business experience receives a broad range of training not only in running a business with specific column management, but you get to perform an array of many different services.
In a land-based, fixed location spa or salon, treatments can be more repetitive, with less of a range in different services. Because at the academy they are trained in the tailor-made treatments, products and procedures used in the spas onboard that set us apart. An important factor in the quality we train for is striving to provide guests with the same quality treatments in any of our spas on any of our cruise ships.
Personal Business Skills Development
Being confident and comfortable with achieving targets plus having the ability to be adaptive in all scenarios is fundamental in team building and in your own success in the business! In an onboard experience, you work in a 5-star spa, needing to deliver 5-star quality every day, with a far more intensive, inspiring atmosphere. On land, you can set your own pace, but onboard it’s a fast-paced, challenging work environment. You need to be flexible, energetic, and positive.
You gain so much experience and become goal-driven and expectations become higher, encouraging you to always strive for more. When employers see on your CV that you have worked onboard, they know that you are used to working under pressure of time and quality of services, that your personal skills and etiquette in dealing with guests is of the highest calibre. What sets our staff aside is a sense of providing the best quality at all times.

The more time you spend working on board, the more you will earn tax-free with all expenses paid, and the bigger your nest egg of savings will eventually be.
