Royal Caribbean Wants to Pay Someone to Explore the World for a Month

Have you long dreamed of traveling the world while getting paid to do it? Now is your chance. Royal Caribbean is hiring a “Shore Explorer” to take an all-expense paid vacation on one of its ships this summer. According to CBS Miami, the lucky recipient of this “apprentice-ship” will have the chance to visit Norway, Portugal, Alaska, Japan, Dubai, and the Bahamas.

All they have to do is document their travels on social media, and they will be paid handsomely to do it—$2000 per week, to be exact. As far as cruise line jobs go, this is one of the more lucrative offers. Although the gig only lasts three to four weeks, the pay is the equivalent of a $135,000 annual salary.

Naturally, there are terms and conditions, though. The opportunity is only open to citizens of the UK and Republic of Ireland who are at least 21 years old and have the freedom to travel between May and August 2019. The cruise line is also seeking a specific kind of traveler.

"We're looking for an adrenaline junkie who is not only hungry for adventure, but also has a unique ability to capture a moment and tell a story in a simple social media post," a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean told Insider.

Photographer Russ Francis, who completed an internship as Royal Caribbean’s "Instagrammer-in-Chief" last year, is one of the three judges. He announced he will also be joining the new Shore Explorer “on part of their extraordinary journey around the world.”

To apply, post a photo or video of “your best travel experience” to your Instagram page, Insta story, or IGTV. Be sure to use the hashtag #ShoreExplorer and tag @RoyalCaribbeanUK. Up to four entries are permitted as long as the posts are different. Applications close March 1, 2019 and the winner will be informed via Instagram message by April 5, 2019.
