Carnival Cruise Line is coming to Nairobi. KOUZON Corp. is hosting a live hiring event on 25th and 26th May 2026 for Kenyan candidates ready to take their hospitality career international. Four departments are hiring — and you need to secure your interview slot in advance.
About This Opportunity
Carnival Cruise Line is one of the world’s largest cruise operators, employing tens of thousands of hospitality professionals across its global fleet. KOUZON Corp. is their authorised recruitment partner in Kenya, coordinating this Nairobi hiring event to place qualified candidates directly into shipboard roles.
This is a legitimate, in-person recruitment event — not an online application process. You attend, interview, and get assessed on the spot.
Departments Hiring
- Culinary — kitchen and food preparation roles across ship restaurants and dining facilities
- Food & Beverage Operations — bar, beverage service, and F&B coordination
- Housekeeping — cabin stewarding and guest accommodation upkeep
- Restaurant — front-of-house dining service and guest experience roles
All roles require relevant prior experience in your department. This is not an entry-level event for candidates with no hospitality background.
What to Expect at a Cruise Line Hiring Event
You’ll go through an initial screening, a face-to-face interview, and potentially a practical or skills assessment depending on your department. Bring a professional CV, copies of your certificates, and a valid passport or ID.
Successful candidates receive conditional job offers subject to medical clearance, background checks, and document verification. Contract lengths on cruise ships typically run 6–9 months with rotational leave between contracts.
For context on international maritime employment standards, the International Labour Organization’s Maritime Labour Convention sets the baseline rights and conditions for seafarers worldwide.
