The Majestic Line is recruiting stewards for its 2027 season, offering a competitive salary and the chance to see Scotland from a new perspective. The role is suited to team players who can handle a variety of tasks and who enjoy Scotland's outdoors and being on the water.
The company, which runs Scottish cruising experiences across the west coast, has opened applications until December 31. It is looking for both temporary and seasonal staff. Unlike major ferries and cruises, the Majestic Line operates four small ships that hold up to 12 guests, allowing successful candidates to get to know customers on a personal level during trips.
Role details and responsibilities
Stewards will provide high-quality hospitality to guests on board while ensuring their "comfort and satisfaction" throughout the cruise. Duties include food and beverage service, cabin preparation, general cleanliness of the ship, and assisting with tender duties when guests go ashore.
The role also requires responding to onboard emergencies and assisting with the ordering and purchasing of provisions for each cruise alongside the chef and engineer. To prioritise safety, candidates must undergo a pre-employment drug and alcohol test before employment is confirmed.
About the company and itineraries
The Majestic Line's four small ships – MV Glen Massan, MV Glen Tarsan, MV Glen Etive, and MV Glen Shiel – are built to access remote areas that larger vessels cannot reach. The company offers 14 cruise itineraries spanning the Inner and Outer Hebrides, Loch Ness, northern coastlines, and the Orkney Islands. Some trips go as far as St Kilda, home to nearly one million seabirds.
The job advert describes the company: "For over 20 years, The Majestic Line has been hosting Scottish cruising holidays on the beautiful waters off the West Coast. Our four small cruise ships, designed as beautiful floating hotels, access remote and sheltered anchorages that larger boats can't reach. Our dedicated crews provide the very best in Scottish hospitality."
While stewards will be busy ensuring the ship is in order and guests receive the "very best" service, the job allows staff to explore Scotland's wonders that may feel further out of reach. More details on the stewards role are available on the Craig of Campbeltown Careers website.
