Why Choose Us

Brand Story

My story begins in Kenya, where I grew up with a deep curiosity about the world and a desire to build a life beyond borders. Like many young professionals, I wanted more more opportunity, more growth, more adventure. When I discovered the cruise industry, everything changed. It became the gateway to a global career I never knew was possible.

But the path wasn’t easy. I had to learn, adapt, and navigate a world that felt completely new. Over time, I built a successful career at sea, gained leadership experience, and traveled to places I once only saw in pictures.

As I grew, people began reaching out asking how to apply, how to prepare, how to succeed. I realized that my journey could help others start theirs. That’s when Simply Muthoni became more than a name; it became a platform.

Find clear, honest answers to the questions we’re asked most about cruise-ship careers, CV services, and getting started with confidence.

Most people begin with the STCW Basic Safety Training, a valid passport, and applications through licensed recruitment agencies or official cruise‑line websites. A strong CV and good communication skills help you stand out.

The essential requirement is the STCW Basic Safety Training. Depending on your role, you may also need crowd management, security awareness, medical fitness clearance, and sometimes hospitality experience.

You can apply through official cruise‑line websites or approved recruitment partners. Research is important to avoid scams. Meeting all training and medical requirements increases your chances of being hired.

Salaries vary by department, rank, and cruise line. Some roles include gratuities or service charges. Pay generally increases with experience and promotions.

Life onboard is structured and fast‑paced. Crew members work long hours, live in shared or single cabins, and participate in regular safety drills. Despite the demanding schedule, the experience is rewarding and full of global exposure.

Crew members rarely get full days off. Instead, they receive scheduled rest hours and breaks throughout the day. When time allows, crew can go ashore in port.
