Cruse-Line
Tasman says that jobs in the cruise industry could be financially profitable in the future, but "profitability" depends largely on position, experience, and contract terms. The industry has been expanding again since the pandemic, particularly with companies like Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, and MSC Cruises adding new ships and promoting employees.
