ABOUT THE ROLE
The Shipboard Head Chef is a highly involved, hands-on leadership role responsible for the full scope of culinary operations onboard. As the leader of the galley team, you’ll be actively engaged in prepping, cooking, and plating meals for both guests and crew, ensuring quality, consistency, and presentation at every service.
Beyond daily food preparation, the Head Chef is responsible for managing inventory, placing and tracking food orders, maintaining all sanitation and food safety protocols, and supporting a collaborative, productive team environment in the galley.
This is a demanding, fast-paced position that requires strong leadership, excellent time management, and a passion for food and hospitality. The schedule includes split shifts totaling 12–14 hours per day, and the role follows a rotational assignment of approximately 2 months on and 1 month off.
