Work at Sea and See the World
The National School of Aesthetics works with Steiner in recruiting beauty therapists, nail technicians and spa therapists to work on cruise ships around the world
Steiner recruits qualified beauty therapists, nail technicians, hairdressers, massage therapists, fitness instructors and aerobics instructors to work aboard luxury cruise ships. Steiner remains the leading spa operator on-board many luxury cruise ships, and we at the National School of Aesthetics are proud to work in conjunction with Steiner as the only South Island provider, and only one of three providers in New Zealand, to offer Steiner interviews at their premises.

See The World
When you work on a cruise ship, your work and your home travel with you to exciting places.
You might work on the Caribbean or the Mediterranean. Or you might work on the South Pacific or Baja Mexico. You might be on a ship that tours the world.
With spas and clinics on over 110 cruise ships around the world, the options are endless.
Life On Board
We won't lie; work on board is hard work. But if you are dedicated to completing the tasks assigned and good customer service, you will reap the benefits.
Food and accommodation are all paid for. Your room may be cleaned and serviced. The cruise ship you are assigned to may even clean your laundry for you. All free of charge!
No car to pay for, no petrol to pay for, no room and board to pay, no groceries to buy, no meals to prepare, no bedrooms to clean, no laundry to wash... you just need to work your scheduled hours.
