Read LessABOUT THE ROLE:
The Pantry Chef is a core member of the shipboard galley team, responsible for cold food preparation, kitchen sanitation, and overall galley organization. Day-to-day responsibilities include preparing salads, garnishes, dressings, desserts, and other cold items for guest and crew meals, following recipes and direction from the Head Chef. The role also includes supporting galley cleanliness, rotating stock, assisting with dishwashing as needed, and ensuring all food storage areas meet safety and public health standards.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced position that requires equal parts culinary skill and operational discipline. Pantry Chefs work on a rotational schedule of 8 weeks on / 4 weeks off, averaging 12–14 hours per day on split shifts with no days off during the rotation.
Candidates must be genuinely prepared for sustained physical demand in a remote, at-sea environment before applying.
WORK SCHEDULE
Chefs work an average of 12 hours per day, every day, with no days off throughout your 8-week rotation onboard.
LIVING CONDITIONS
Crew quarters are compact and shared — you will bunk with one or two roommates for the full duration of your rotation, with minimal personal space. The vessel operates in remote locations with limited or no port access between expeditions, so cell service and internet may be unavailable for extended periods. You must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medications, as refills cannot be obtained while underway.
This lifestyle suits people who are adaptable, self-sufficient, and genuinely energized by close-knit team environments and remote travel. If those conditions sound like a challenge rather than an adventure, this may not be the right fit.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS
This is a physically demanding role performed in a moving marine environment. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to stand, walk, bend, kneel, squat, and climb steep interior stairs repeatedly throughout a 12-hour shift — including during periods of significant vessel motion. The employee must regularly lift and carry items up to 50 pounds. Work rotates continuously across cabin cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and food service, often without extended breaks. Work is performed in confined spaces and high-humidity environments including the galley.
