Where possible you will always aim to provide a first call resolution to deliver the desired outcome. We will look to you to build a trusting relationship with our guests, proactively identifying itineraries and cruise products that match their needs to make a booking. Delivering guest satisfaction and a memorable experience is what we’re in the business for, and you’ll be at the heart of that.

Our role categories range from CUK15 (entry level) to CUK1 (Brand President) so you can clearly see internal development opportunities. This role is a CUK13 and is offered on a full-time or part-time, permanent basis with three days based in our Southampton office.

Hours can be provided between 22.5 hours per week - 40 hours per week with set rotations.
