Head of Hotel Department

15 years — from stewardess to department head

Written from the
inside out.

Most hospitality training is written for hotels. This one was written for the realities of ferry service: short crossings, high passenger turnover, mixed crew experience, and the pressure of keeping standards consistent across every single sailing.

Every module reflects what actually happens on the water — from allergen handling in a busy café to managing a frustrated passenger on a rough crossing. No generic scripts. No hotel metaphors.
