Summer job aboard the cruise ship Birka!

Birka Gotland is the Baltic Sea's entertainment cruiser with recreation and experiences for everyday escapists. The ship is operated by Gotland Alandia Cruises, founded in 2023 as a joint venture between the shipping companies Viking Line and Gotlandsbolaget. Birka Gotland offers cruises and regular services between Stockholm, Mariehamn, and Visby.

Life on board is unique – there is no 9 to 5 here, as operations run around the clock, and the work offers a dynamism and camaraderie that is hard to find elsewhere.

Onboard, there are several different job opportunities ranging from serving staff and chefs to entertainment, etc. The guest experience is always in focus, and our employees play a central role in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that permeates the entire ship. As part of our team, you contribute to a forward-looking cruise experience.
