Royal Caribbean is seeking a special candidate for quite the dream job: The international cruise line is hiring a so-called “Shore Explorer” to travel the world and document their adventures on social media.
On Feb. 4, reps for the cruise line’s U.K. branch announced the launch of the unique “apprentice-ship” on Instagram with a special contest, welcoming entries until March 1.
“Think you’ve got what it takes to be the ultimate experience hunter? Share your best travel experience as a post, story or IGTV tagging @RoyalCaribbeanUKand #ShoreExplorer to apply,” Royal Caribbean captioned a video, which has since been viewed over 34,000 times.

By launching this position, we’re hoping that the winning candidate will take our shore excursion programmed to the next level.”
