Saga Cruises engages the services of Just Be Maritime

Just Be Maritime Ltd (JBM) is delighted to announce that its Officer Cadet Management Services have been engaged by Saga Cruises, to support the operation and development of its Officer Cadet training programme.  JBM is now actively recruiting new entrants on behalf of Saga Cruises for the September 2022 and January 2023 cadet intakes.

As a division of Saga plc, Saga Cruises has been operating cruise vessels since 1997 and offers worldwide cruise itineraries. The company has modernised its fleet in recent years, introducing the purpose-built, 58,119 gross ton ‘Spirit of Discovery’ in 2019 and her sister-ship ‘Spirit of Adventure’ in 2021.

In addition, Saga Cruises operates two boutique river boats, ‘Spirit of the Rhine’ and ‘Spirit of the Danube’, on main European waterways such as the Danube, Douro and Elbe.  Four more new-build river boats are due to enter service from 2023 to 2026.

Dale Law, Head of Crewing for Saga Cruises, remarked “The successful operation of our Officer Cadet training programme is very important in supporting our company’s future resource planning and the quality of our junior officers.  Just Be Maritime is very well-placed to assist our Officer Cadets and help them progress to successful STCW certification.”

Don Millar, Managing Director of JBM, commented, “We really appreciate Saga Cruises’ confidence in our ability to deliver the services they require in support of their company training programme for Officer Cadets.  We look forward to working closely with Dale and the wider Saga Cruises team to ensure that their cadets achieve successful conclusions to their cadetships.”
