Agenda
Mission
The ship is as much the destination as the ports of call visited during the cruise.
To create a memorable vacation experience onboard the ship while travelling the world over.
Hotels aim at offering memorable stays and great services, however they are not, in general, the destination (spa resorts are exceptions).
Human Resources
Crew stay onboard between 3 and 10 months at a time.
Teams, of crew from several nationalities, change continuously.
Living conditions onboard, 24/7 on call status.
HESS
HEALTH - ENVIRONMENT - SAFETY - SECURITY
A strong commitment and 4 goals managed jointly by the ship’s crew and the shoreside personnel.
Maintenance
99% of repairs are done onboard by ship’s technicians
Every 3 years ships are taken out
of service for 10 days or more to
be serviced in a dry-dock
Weather
Weather conditions can
impact the ship’s itinerary
at any time
Modern weather forecast
technology helps avoid

The word ‘POSH’ originates in the days before air conditioning. Britons travelling on a vessel to India would favour a cabin on the shaded side of the ship, away from the glare and heat of the sun. Thus travelling from UK to India a north facing port cabin cost more than a south facing starboard one. The opposite applied on the return journey. So only the richest could book a cabin that was PORT OUT S TA R B O A R D H O M E . T h i s b e c a m e shortened to ‘posh’.
