Cruise Ship Jobs Increase in Canada and Worldwide

Canada contains natural beauty and wide open spaces on land and on water all over the nation. Commercial Fishing and Trucking have been examined in Canada and on the sea in Cable TV series such as Ice Road Truckers and Most Dangerous Catch. These industry sectors offer high-paying and highly dangerous careers. Cruiseline occupations may also yield high pay, although many require long hours for many days at a time before a break occurs. Still, Cruise Ship Jobs can be exciting and offer the chance of travel that workers would likely not be able to access otherwise or until later in life.

During 2009, the Cruise Industry continued to expand, according to member cruise lines of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). While not all of this success has been specifically tied to Canada, cruise lines of other nations sail in and out of Canada and may increas ein number in 2010.

Nearly 13,500,000 passengers cruises on ships in the membership of CLIA in 2009, an apparent increase over 2008 and 2007. Canadians and Americans (USA) made up over 76% of those passengers. However, the nearly 24% of International passengers has been slowing climbing in recent years and the trend is expected to continue.

The official forecast for 2010 is for 14,300,000 passengers from Canada and USA and another 3,600,000 from other countries (17,900,000 total in 2010). This is quite a healthy growth over 2009, which will require more ships and more staff.
