Cruise Ship Industry Awakens with New Jobs for Performers

While we in the performing arts still feel the impact of Omicron, the cruise industry is already looking ahead as it prepares to entertain guests over the summer travel season. Circus artists and performers will find quite a few cruise ship employment opportunities this week from Virgin Voyages, Rising Star, and The Peel Entertainment Group. We also have behind-the-scenes job offerings from Circus Smirkus and the Caravan network.

Virgin Voyagesis changing it up on the high seas and casting for multiple experiences currently playing on their ladyships, as well as two brand-new productions launching this summer!  They are looking for diverse, multidisciplinary, contemporary circus artists with movement and dance qualities, acting skills, floor acrobatics, and partner work. Performers must be magnetic team players, comfortable with up-close audience interaction.

While this is an open call, Virgin Voyages will only see performers who are able to present at least one of the following disciplines: Banquine flying / Hand-to-Hand flying; Banquine base / Hand-to-Hand base; Aerial Straps; Aerial Hammock / Braided Hammock; Aerial Ropes / Multi Corre / Loop; Aerialists who perform Silks, Lyra, and/or Hoop who can ALSO do Femme Funk / Heels Dance and contemporary choreography; Dance Pole Artists who can do Femme Funk / Heels Dance and contemporary choreography; Acrobats/ Gymnasts/Tumblers who can dance contemporary and commercial hip-hop, do base lifts, and be lifted.

Salary varies per role and discipline, but the minimum is $1,300/wk. Housing, transportation, and all meals are provided.

In the next two weeks, in-person auditions will be hosted by the company in Chicago, New York, and Orlando
