Guitar vocalists, piano bar entertainers, cocktail pianists, steel pan players, guitar/ piano intermissionist and also DJ’s.

If this sounds like you – we can help you get that dream job.

There are awesome cruise ship opportunities waiting for versatile established musical ensembles. Duos, Trios, Quartets and Party Bands are all accepted, provided they have an extensive repertoire covering several genres and a killer stage presence to match.

Showband Musicians

Highly proficient musicians with sight reading ability are hired individually to join a world-class on-board house band or show orchestra. Do you play drums, bass, keys, guitar, sax, trombone, trumpet or sing lead vocals? Do you have strong sight-reading and improvisation skills? If you said “yes” to both, we have opportunities for you.

Lime Entertainment

We're performers, just like you, we worked on cruise ships ourselves for years, cruise ships changed our lives, do we do what we do.

For the full explanation of how cruise ships gave our lives shape and meaning, read this (or just take our word for it). In short, we feel extremely lucky that we had the chance to float around the ocean playing music, and so grateful for the incredible experiences during that time. And we want to offer our performers those same opportunities which, in turn, lead to experiences that can be truly life-changing.

We Started Lime

Our favorite part of the job is witnessing our performers grow from the day we offer them their first ship contract.

We love reading glowing feedback from supervisors; watching side-people become musical directors; hearing about engagements and weddings; seeing our artists record albums, relocate to different countries, and tour internationally. And we’re always excited to meet our musicians in person, getting to know them better and seeing the effects of the cruise gig first-hand.

If it isn’t clear already, our PURPOSE is

Caring for our artists.

We’re here to navigate Lime’s performers through the c ruise s hip world, every step of the way, and we treat this responsibility with the utmost importance:  it defines us.

Through our various internal teams, all dedicated to providing assistance, advice, and support , we build meaningful relationships with each of our entertainers. Meeting them in person is just the icing on the cake.

Building an incredible team at Lime HQ, where we’re less like co-workers and more like family.

The empathy and kindness overflowing from this team enable us to give our artists the same level of care and respect, and it fuels our drive to make Lime a better company day after day.

What gets us out of bed every morning is harnessing the passion we have for Lime itself and channeling it to each of our performers. We’re proud to offer so many amazing opportunities, serving as the gateway to the world of cruise ships, but prouder still to support and care for our performers throughout their journey.

Alejandro Zorrilla

Showband Bass / P&O Cruises

I feel Lime has been the best way for me to get into the cruise ship world. Not only did they give me the best contract out front, they’ve been most supportive in all the paperwork process (which is quite daunting at the beginning). Also, Fede has been very kind in helping me with my girlfriend trying to match our contracts. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to do this with. Rock on Lime!!

Ryan Lupton

USA Showband sax / Musical Director Royal Caribbean

Lime entertainment was invaluable in helping me get my first contract. Between the tremendous amount of paperwork and extensive medical process. I don’t think I could have ever done it all on my own. They were very hands-on and quick to answer any of my questions. I felt like they truly cared and wanted to help me get on board. I’d recommend them to anyone interested in working on ships!

Carlos Barcelo

Showband Bass

Lucky me since I found these great people almost 4 years ago. I’ve been working on ships since then: 10 contracts, 7 companies, lot of countries, tons of pizza, musical improvement, unique experiences. THANKS LIME, ALWAYS! That’s what I have to say. If you’ve never tried to work on ships before, fear not! Working on ships as a musician is a TOTAL PRIVILEGE, and Lime is the greatest agency ever to help you through it. Spread the word…

Cruise Ship Entertainment Agencies & Contacts

Cruise ships and boat trips are regular employers of cabaret artists, singers, dancers, musicians, bands, DJ’s and other entertainers. The type and style of music or show required varies considerably depending on the company, length of trip and passenger demographic. Entertainers and musicians are expected to be highly proficient, versatile and capable of learning new routines/songs quickly, be able to read music and work long hours.

All sorts of artists are hired from the one-man band (singer/guitarist/pianist/backing tracks), Duos, Trios, DJs to ‘Cabaret Performers’ who provide self-contained or accompanied shows in two or more 45-minute slots per day/evening or as a performer of an existing group in a pre-produced show. Some companies also hire artists as part of an ‘in-house’ troupe who are expected to learn and perform a variety of duties (acting/singing/dancing) on several shows presented during the length of the cruise.

Ships are like any other venue and come in all shapes, sizes and calibres of staff expectancy… some require the artist to provide their own musicians, backing, props, lighting and equipment whilst other ships contain a fully equipped stage complete with lighting, p.a. rig and in-house orchestra/band. The type of shows presented are diverse.. on larger ships, this may mean a DJ is working in one bar, a singalong duo is in another whilst solo artists up to large theatrical style productions and/or major guest artists are rehearsing/performing on the main stage! Short trips and smaller craft have less space and amenities so tend to employ more self-contained acts.

Being confined to a ship (no matter how large) means that all crew are expected to be on duty 24/7 ……. in other words, be nice to the passengers even if you have a sore head, runny nose or bad day plus be prepared to cover a variety of other duties when staff are off sick, even if it is not part of their normal duties. Staff are usually contracted for the duration of the cruise which can be for anything between one day to a year and can expect good wages with accommodation and meals included.

It is also a fallacy that cruise ship entertainers are unlikely to be ‘discovered’ or attain celebrity status… many singers use any opportunity to perform as a means to polishing their performances and have subsequently moved onward and upward in their careers like Claire Sweeney and Jane McDonald.

Entertainers usually gain employment by application and audition. Age ranges considerably, although 21 to mid-30s is standard, companies who concentrate on serving the more mature market, often prefer music and artists who can cater to a more selective, older clientele. A showreel is not always necessary but desirable, especially for those who can provide a pre-produced show or package. Advertisements for these positions can be found in The Stage Newspaper (UK) , Variety (US) and major newspapers.  Enquiries can also be made direct to the cruise liners and specialist Cruise Ship Agencies and Entertainment Agents who may run showcases for cruise ship bookers.

Ready to Live the Cruise Ship Musician Life?

If you’re looking for an adventure, it’s the best-paid vacation you’ll ever have.

Here’s what just a few of our musicians have to say

"Working for Landau Music was a BLAST! I made memories that I will never forget. If you're wondering whether a position on board one of Landau Music's ships is for you, trust me, you'll be in great hands!"

“The last contract was even better than the first. The musicians were great, the people I worked with were fantastic, opportunities for creative expression abounded, and the itineraries were phenomenal."

"Landau Music and the cruising experience has truly changed my life forever and those who have the fortunate opportunity to audition and work with Landau Music will one day understand the enthusiasm that I cannot even express through words."

"I have worked on cruise ships for less than two years and have already seen half of the world and have had a great time doing it, meeting some great players and friends along the way. I'm glad to have found an agent who is as responsive and sympathetic to my goals as Landau Music."

"A typical day would be waking up, traveling to a beach to snorkel or go sight-seeing for 4 hours, then capping my night off doing what I love: playing music! Then wake up to do it all over again! Other musicians with other agencies told me how jealous they were of how good I had it with Landau."

"I can accurately say that Landau Music has definitely improved the quality of my life. The travel, the adventure, the money and most of all the people have improved the quality of my life more than I could have imagined. Thank you Michael and staff for all the work you've done for me and so many deserving musicians."

Welcome to My Office

Some of our cruise ship entertainers, hard at work

Is this for real?

You're not dreaming. We're placing qualified musicians on luxury cruises all around the world...right now! And when we say luxury, we're talking "floating Ritz Carlton". Picture the best room in Vegas...with the best view in the world.

And I really get paid?

Yes. You’re paid a competitive salary and you get to spend your down time in exotic locations around the world—beaches in the Caribbean, excursions in Alaska, and more…

But I have to pay to get there, right?

No. We fly you there and back—and if you’re interested, we can even make sure you’re lined up on another one before you come home.

Do I have to pay for anything?

The only thing you have to pay for is a pre-employment medical. (Oh, and maybe some fancy clothes for formal nights).

Wait… I can get off the ship?

Yes, that’s the best part. If your ship goes to Egypt, so do you. Thailand? Yep. Argentina? You got it. Aruba? For sure! When the passengers disembark, you’re welcome to do so too. Most musicians play at night, which means your days are free to explore the world.

How do I qualify?

There are only a few rules. You need to be 21. You need to commit to a continuous contract. You need a passport and possibly a visa. You need to pay for a pre-employment medical. Most of all, you need to be good.

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a cruise ship entertainer? Apply now

Luxury cruise lines are looking for musicians and bands right now! Several lines will only work with Landau Music: to get to them, go through us. Get paid to play while you see the world… For free!

A cruise ship stuck in Barcelona resumes sailing after passengers accused of having fake visas were removed and investigated by authorities

A cruise ship carrying 1,500 passengers was stuck in Barcelona because of a visa dispute.

Spanish authorities suspected that the visas of 69 Bolivian passengers were fake.

The passengers are being held on another boat while authorities investigate.

A cruise ship carrying 1,500 passengers was stuck in port in Barcelona after Spanish authorities investigated 69 Bolivian passengers.

The police believed that the Bolivian passengers' visas were fake and are investigating, Spanish police authorities told news agency Efe .

The MSC Armonia cruise ship set off from Brazil and was due to continue through the Mediterranean, with some passengers switching over in Barcelona, Efe reported.

The delay has meant that planned stops in France, Greece, and Croatia have been canceled which has caused some disgruntled passengers to leave the boat early, Reuters reported.

Barcelona was meant to be the final destination for the Bolivian passengers. However, the ship had to stay in port until the situation was resolved.

In a statement shared with Business Insider, MSC Cruises confirmed that the cruise would resume sailing on Thursday.

"Thanks to the cooperation with the Spanish authorities, the group of Bolivian guests has been disembarked and will now follow the immigration process as required by law. We are fully assisting with this process," they said.

The spokesperson confirmed that the passengers' visas were found to be not valid for entry and that the Spanish authorities are investigating.

The passengers' will be held on another boat while Spanish authorities decide whether they will be deported or granted asylum, Reuters reported, citing the government's regional delegation in Catalonia.

Solange Duarte, a Bolivian diplomat in Barcelona, told the AP that she had received reports that some of the Bolivian passengers had been duped into obtaining fake visas.

MSC Cruises is one of the world's largest cruise lines, known for its long luxury trips that can set sail for months at a time.

Its new four-month-long world cruise, which will set off in 2026, is expected to cost passengers between $15,800 and $38,210 per person, depending on their cabin.
