PRÁCTICAS EN CRUCEROS Este tipo de práctica es muy interesante, ya que durante la estancia tienes todos los gastos pagados (alojamiento y manutención), y hay numerosas áreas en las que puedes trabajar: los estudiantes de turismo en hotelería o excursiones, los de audiovisual en las salas de fiesta, o los de teleco en el mantenimiento por ejemplo. Es un trabajo duro en el que muchas veces trabajarás 7 días seguidos o mucho más de 8 horas al día, y no suelen pagar vacaciones, pero supone una muy buena tarjeta de visita de cara al futuro porque las empresas saben que quien ha trabajado ahí, puede afrontar cualquier cosa. También es una forma de volverse con un buen dinero a casa. Si estás interesad@ en trabajar en un crucero (No conviene decir que quieres prácticas. Te pagarían poco.) Las líneas pertenecen a cinco grandes empresas, pero cada una oferta empleo en sus distintas marcas. Aquí tienes una lista de las líneas más importantes:
