About the role

American Cruise Lines seeks experienced Captains to lead our U.S. flag fleet aboard vessels designed for comfort and safety. You will pilot ships across inland and coastal routes, supervise deck officers, and coordinate with engineering teams to ensure flawless operations and guest experiences. We value proactive leadership, strong navigational skills, and adherence to regulatory standards, with training supported by our bridge simulator and ongoing development opportunities onboard.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
