Ship Jobs - Star Clippers Jobs
The
company provides casual, active cruises aboard
nineteenth-century clipper replicas sailing ships to
unusual destinations in the Caribbean, South Asia and
Mediterranean. Among the sailing ships cruise lines, Star
Clippers is intended to fit between budget priced
Windjammer Barefoot Cruises and pricey Windstar Cruises.
Typical passengers are half from the Americas (U.S.,
Canada, Latin America) and the other half from Europe.
They are active travelers, seeking adventure and
off-the-beaten-track itineraries, not interested with
casinos and night clubs. The man at the helm of Star
Clippers is Mikael Krafft, a Swedish entrepreneur who, at
the age of 6, landed his first job at a shipyard near his
home in the Stockholm archipelago. As a child, Krafft
listened to the stories the old seamen told, and his love
of sailing was born. When he was 12, he sailed his own
18-foot boat over 20 miles of open seas. Later, he
practiced maritime law in Sweden and France. In 1986,
Krafft relocated to Brussels where he founded the White Star Group, involved with real estate
development. White Star Group is the parent company of
White Star Clippers, which commissioned Star Flyer and Star Clipper. Krafft launched
the Star Flyer and Star Clipper in 1991 and 1992 in
Belgium. They were the first clipper ships since 1911
to be granted the certificate of highest quality by
Lloyd's Register of Shipping. The even more ambitions
Royal Clipper was launched in 2000, the largest clipper
ship built in a century.
On the
employment side, these ships offer limited number of
positions. Casino and entertainment departments staff
should be looking for jobs with other cruise lines. On the
other hand, working on a sailing ship will be a blast for
the right people.
