Join IoH North as they host a FREE hospitality careers at sea event for students/graduates and hospitality professionals aboard the MV Pride of Rotterdam in Hull Docks on Tuesday, 18 November 2025.

Why attend?
A world of exciting and rewarding careers awaits hospitality professionals aboard ships and in the ports and terminals that support them. Every role you see in a hotel or hospitality business on land has a counterpart at sea – with unique opportunities for responsibility, progression, and global travel. From entry-level positions to senior roles such as Hotel Director, Onboard Services Manager, Purser, or Logistics Officer, hospitality at sea offers rapid career progression, early responsibility, and the chance to build leadership skills. Recruits also benefit from advanced safety training, equipping them with valuable credentials for working as part of a ship’s crew.

What to expect from the event

• Industry insight – hear directly from professionals and leaders about career opportunities afloat and ashore
• Behind-the-scenes access – tour the ship’s hospitality areas to see operations in action
• Networking opportunities – connect with industry representatives over lunch and during dedicated networking sessions.

This event is free for IoH members and non-members, but pre-registration is essential.

You will be required to bring a valid passport with you on the day which matches the details you provided at the time of pre-registration. Arrival and check-in: 10.00 am –10.30 am.
