GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CRUISE DIRECTING WITH TAUCK:

Cruise Directors enjoy the benefits and resources of employment with a company that has been at the cutting edge of guided travel since 1925. We take great pride in these front-line representatives of our professional Worldwide Operations team. Our reputation for excellence and integrity was built on the exceptional quality and service of our Cruise Director staff and the support provided behind the scenes by our office staff in Wilton, Connecticut.

Cruise Directors typically work between the months of March and December. Individual schedules vary, of course, depending on the combination of itineraries assigned, language skills, personal interests, performance history, and seniority.

  • A record of success in the travel or hospitality industry, or similar experience in a customer-service related field such as health care or education
  • Solid oral and written communication skills
  • Administrative and basic accounting skills
  • A college or university degree is preferred, but not required

WORK SCHEDULING & PERFORMANCE REVIEWS:

Scheduling is a collaborative process, incorporating performance feedback and individualized professional development goals. Cruise Directors prepare an annual 'wish list' to communicate individual interests and special requests. An annual performance review discussion is conducted with each Cruise Director at the end of the season.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

Cruise Director compensation is a combination of daily wage and additional base pay for each tour day worked. Accepting monetary or material commissions is strictly forbidden throughout our organization and will result in immediate termination.

Benefits for eligible Tauck Directors include: medical, dental, vision, life, travel, long-term disability, and worker's compensation insurance programs, a 401(k) company plan and a profit-sharing plan. Annual eligibility is based on the total number of weeks worked each calendar year.

  • Execution and delivery of the overall Tauck Experience including activities, lectures, destination related information and coordination of all shore excursions
  • Ensuring the on-board and on-shore comfort and safety of our guests
  • All event organization and creation of the Daily Program
  • Assisting Tauck Directors as needed with lectures, activities and destination related information
  • Maintaining a high level of overall guest satisfaction
  • Oversight of Tauck Director performance
  • Liaison with Wilton Home Office, Scylla, ground operators and suppliers.

REQUIRED SKILLS:

Cruise Directors work in diverse physical and cultural settings. Whenever representing Tauck, they are expected to present themselves, and our organization, professionally with guests, suppliers, and fellow associates.

The most successful Cruise Directors are proficient at handling multi-faceted responsibilities. Key skills include:

  • Exceptional interpersonal skills for diverse audiences

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
