Scam Warning

Silversea Cruises screen all of our job applications and reviews each resume personally. Unfortunately, there are individuals that attempt to fraudulently represent themselves as being authorized to recruit on behalf of Silversea Cruises. The email or linked website may look authentic, with the same logos, fonts and colors of the Company’s actual site. You will never be asked to pay to apply for a position with us, and you should immediately stop any application if you are asked to do so. They establish contact by using false email accounts that create the impression that they are valid Silversea or Vships email addresses, any email that is not from @silversea.com, @vships.com or @vhospitality.net should not be considered. Our employment application process will require you to complete an online application and to attach a resume, successful applicants will be offered an interview and will be required to complete a background check. Online scam’s will not offer applicants an interview.
