Entertainment DJ - Resident Performer

The Entertainment DJ provides the soundtrack to the guest vacation experience. From poolside sessions, to themed parties, sailaway events, game show support, and nightclub operations, this role is for a professional DJ who reads a room instinctively, moves easily between genres and eras, and is as comfortable on the microphone as behind the decks.

Holland America Line guests are curious, well-traveled, and span a wide range of ages and musical tastes. They come aboard for immersive itineraries and expect a refined, welcoming atmosphere throughout the ship, which means the music has to work as hard for a mid-afternoon deck crowd as it does for a late-night dance floor. The DJs who succeed with us are the ones who can move fluently across decades and genres, and who understand that reading this audience is a craft in itself.

This is a guest-facing role in the fullest sense. Beyond the booth, you are a Brand Ambassador for Holland America Line, expected to be visible and approachable throughout the ship: greeting guests, building rapport, and encouraging participation. If you take pride in curating the perfect moment, thrive on live audience connection, and enjoy being part of the guest experience on and off the stage, this is your chance to take your craft to sea.

**This is a sea-going position requiring being onboard a vessel from as short as 2-3 weeks, to as long as 4 months.  Resident Performers must have a valid passport, crew visas, and a seafarer medical certificate.
