Since 1969, our art auctions and educational seminars have enriched people’s lives in our galleries on land, on cruise ships, and at luxury vacation destinations in over 80 countries.

We believe Art is for Everyone—whether you know a little or a lot about art, you can find something you love at Park West Gallery.

We are looking for enthusiastic, driven, and adventurous individuals to join our cruise ship art teams—we currently operate on board over 80 international cruise ships on some of the world’s largest cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian, Carnival, Princess Cruises, and others.

Specific Job Duties:

  • Interact with cruise ship passengers, engaging with them about their day, the artwork in the onboard gallery, and what art on the ship has caught their eye
  • Set up art displays of up to 300 artworks on auction days
  • Work alongside a close-knit team of 4-5 art team members
  • Engage in consultative one-on-one sales conversations

This is a work-hard, play-hard lifestyle—fast-paced and full of action! Not every day will be long and trying, but every day is a work day. If you can’t miss your nightly TV program or live for lazy Sundays, this isn’t the job for you.

If you’re intrigued, we would love to hear from you!
