About The Position
The Steward is responsible for cleaning guest and staff cabins and providing dining room service for all guest meals. The Steward will also rotate into the galley for dishwashing and may assist with food preparation. This is an expedition vessel role, not a traditional hospitality position. Stewards live and work aboard the vessel for the full duration of their contract with limited or no shore access between trips. You will share cabin accommodations with other crew members, work 12-hour rotating shifts every day, and be expected to maintain professional standards regardless of fatigue.
