WHO WE ARE Lindblad Expeditions is a true pioneer in Expedition Travel. From taking the first citizen explorers to Antarctica in 1966, opening the Galapagos and Easter Island to tourism in 1967, leading the first tourist expedition through the Northwest Passage in 1984, and launching our innovative partnership with National Geographic in 2004, we're now taking almost 30,000 guests a year to some of the world’s most remote and pristine locations on our fleet of 20 ships, and are committed to ensuring our guests experience the “Exhilaration of Discovery”.
ABOUT THE ROLE 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. Candidates must be genuinely prepared for sustained physical demand in a remote, at-sea environment before applying. WORK SCHEDULE Stewards work an average of 12 hours per day, every day, with one day off approximately every 7–14 days, for the duration of the contract. You will not return home between trips — the vessel is your home and workplace for the duration of your agreement. LIVING CONDITIONS Crew quarters are compact and shared — you will bunk with one or two roommates for the full duration of your contract, with minimal personal space. The vessel operates in remote locations with limited or no port access between expeditions, so cell service and internet may be unavailable for extended periods. You must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medications, as refills cannot be obtained while underway. This lifestyle suits people who are adaptable, self-sufficient, and genuinely energized by close-knit team environments and remote travel. If those conditions sound like a challenge rather than an adventure, this may not be the right fit. PHYSICAL DEMANDS This is a physically demanding role performed in a moving marine environment. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to stand, walk, bend, kneel, squat, and climb steep interior stairs repeatedly throughout a 12-hour shift — including during periods of significant vessel motion. The employee must regularly lift and carry items up to 50 pounds. Work rotates continuously across cabin cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and food service, often without extended breaks. Work is performed in confined spaces and high-humidity environments including the galley and laundry. A pressed uniform and professional guest-facing demeanor are required at all times, including at the end of a full shift. RESPONSIBILITIES:
