Guest Services Supervisor

Are you an experienced seagoing customer service professional with a passion for leading teams and delivering exceptional service at sea?

As a Guest Services Supervisor at Stena Line, you’ll experience a unique way of working—living and working at sea onboard the Stena Britannica, sailing between Harwich and Hook of Holland. Working a week-on, week-off rotation, you’ll become part of a close-knit onboard community where teamwork and support are key to success.

This role is ideal for an experienced seagoing customer service professional holding valid STCW certification, looking to take the next step into a supervisory position. You’ll play a vital role in creating a welcoming and memorable experience for our passengers, leading a dedicated team and ensuring the highest standards across guest services and accommodation. This is a dynamic, hands‑on role where no two days are the same—perfect for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and enjoys life at sea.

• Lead and support the Guest Services team, acting as the first point of contact for passenger queries and complaints
• Ensure high standards of cleanliness and presentation through cabin inspections and housekeeping coordination
• Manage stock, cash handling, and onboard banking procedures in line with company policies
• Drive onboard sales through upselling cabins and supporting revenue targets
• Coach, develop, and provide regular feedback and performance management to team members
• Ensure compliance with company standards, procedures, and safety requirements
• Coordinate with internal teams and external contractors to support smooth onboard operations

You will be part of a collaborative and supportive onboard team where communication, teamwork, and a strong sense of shared responsibility are key. Life at sea brings a unique rhythm, where you live and work alongside your colleagues, building strong relationships and a real sense of camaraderie.

The environment is fast‑paced and rewarding, with a shared commitment to delivering excellent service every day. You’ll have the opportunity to lead and influence a team while continuing to develop your own skills in a dynamic onboard setting. At Stena Line, we foster a caring culture where colleagues support one another, celebrate success, and take pride in what we achieve together.

You are proactive, organized, and take pride in maintaining high standards, understanding how your role directly impacts the passenger experience.
