Job description

Bring our fine jewellery brand, SEVEN, to life through storytelling, standout events and guest experiences people remember long after their cruise ends.

We're looking for a Jewellery Host to lead guest engagement and deliver our onboard SEVEN fine jewellery programme on cruise ships around the world.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who already knows high-end retail and wants to step into a brand-facing, event-led role. As the public face of SEVEN, you'll create excitement around our collections, host seminars and events, build appointments and relationships with high-potential guests, and turn that engagement into fine jewellery sales. If you love connecting with people, holding a room and telling the story behind a beautiful piece, this role was made for you.

You'll live and work at sea as part of a close-knit retail team, meeting guests from across the world and setting the standard for how SEVEN is experienced onboard.

About Harding

Harding+ is a leading cruise retail business, working closely with cruise line partners and brand partners to make every cruise better. Our onboard boutiques across different cruise line brands offer guests a carefully selected range across Fine Jewellery, watches, fashion, beauty, fragrance, liquor, confectionery and logo products.

We are proud to have been recognised as Cruise Retailer of the Year in 2022, 2023 and 2025, reflecting our focus on excellent service, strong brand partnerships and memorable guest experiences.

What you'll do

• Host seminars and presentations, from intimate in-store moments to larger theatre settings, using storytelling and showmanship to create desire and draw guests into the boutique
• Romance the product by connecting its design, craftsmanship, gemstones, provenance and meaning to each guest's own story, celebration or aspiration
• Generate guest traffic through ship events, VIP invitations, cabin drops, raffles, referrals and networking across the ship
• Identify and qualify high-potential guests, secure appointments and prepare personalised experiences that feel special from first welcome to follow-up
• Work alongside the sales team, Retail Manager and Fine Jewellery Sales Coach to convert engagement into sales, closing confidently while keeping the experience pressure-free
• Plan and run the voyage event programme end to end, from promotion and preparation through to lead capture and follow-up
• Track performance against targets, review what's working and adjust your plan to make the most of every commercial opportunity
• Share your storytelling and product knowledge with the wider team, helping colleagues build confidence and credibility with guests

What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who can carry a brand, hold an audience and sell at a high level.

• At least two years in cruise-line or luxury retail, ideally Fine Jewellery, or equivalent high-value luxury sales and event-hosting experience
• Excellent public speaking and presentation skills, comfortable hosting seminars, events and theatre presentations
• Exceptional storytelling and product-romancing ability, with strong Fine Jewellery, diamond and gemstone knowledge, or the ability to pick it up quickly
• Proven luxury sales and clienteling skills, including relationship building, objection handling and closing
• Strong commercial judgement, and the confidence to use performance information to prioritise activity and improve results
• Excellent spoken and written English, with confident, professional communication
• Resilience, adaptability and ownership in a fast-paced, international environment

What you'll get

• Competitive salary and commission, all take-home pay
• Accommodation and meals provided onboard
• No household bills while you're working at sea
• Support with necessary visas and seafaring documents
• Dedicated in-house training across sales, product and brand
• The opportunity to travel the world while you earn
• Contracts of up to 6 months onboard, usually followed by 1 to 2 months at home between contracts
• On selected cruise lines, the opportunity to travel independently after your contract, with support for your return travel home afterwards
