  • TOP 10 REASONS TO WORK ON BOARD A CRUISE SHIP

    There are many reasons to work on board, but here are the reasons most often cited by acupuncturists who work for OneSpaWorld.

  • The ability to practise acupuncture without investing in the overhead normally associated with starting a practice.
  • You get a jumpstart on your student loans. With no overhead on board, you will be better positioned to get ahead on your student loans. You have virtually no living expenses – food and boarding are all factored in.
  • Cruise line guests come from all over the world, and many have not been exposed to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which affords onboard acupuncturists an opportunity to educate the public about TCM and how it can improve their quality of life.
  • As guests are on vacation, they have the time to explore new treatments and ideas. This means that, acupuncturists working on board a cruise ship can be extremely busy.  Results are often seen immediately as the guests are more relaxed whilst on vacation, so healing is greatly improved in this environment.
  • Even though acupuncturists are part of a much larger spa team, running your column on board is very much like running your own business. You will give talks, seminars and can introduce as many guests to acupuncture as possible on any given day.
  • The working environment on board luxury cruise ships is extremely clean and professional making it much easier for you to gain the confidence of guests.
  • Less down time : As you live and work on board the cruise ship you do not have to factor in travel time to and from work. No cleaning, no grocery shopping, no everyday mundane activities.
  • An obvious huge perk is travel.  Depending on your itinerary, you could explore the islands of the Caribbean, the Alaskan glaciers, or even the Mediterranean.
  • Meet and mix with the diverse cultures as embodied by the crew and the guests. Make friends from all over the world.
  • Save money. You are in unique position where you could actually save every penny you make as your fundamental needs are taken care of on board.
