The Director, Maritime Cyber Safety Engineering leads cybersecurity and safety engineering for Carnival Cruise Line’s maritime operations, vessels, and supporting systems. The role typically requires a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, along with substantial experience in maritime technology, operational technology, information security, safety engineering, or risk management. Knowledge of marine regulations, cyber-risk frameworks, incident response, systems architecture, and compliance standards is highly valuable. The successful candidate should be comfortable leading technical teams, working with shipboard and shoreside stakeholders, managing complex programs, and communicating clearly with senior leadership. Candidates are expected to build practical security controls, identify vulnerabilities, support regulatory compliance, and promote a strong cyber-safety culture across the organization.
Carnival Cruise Line is one of the world’s best-known cruise operators and a major brand within Carnival Corporation & plc. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, the company operates a large fleet serving destinations throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Europe, and other regions. Carnival focuses on accessible, fun-oriented vacations, combining accommodation, dining, entertainment, recreation, and shore excursions in one travel experience. Its workforce includes shipboard crew and shoreside professionals in maritime operations, engineering, technology, hotel services, food and beverage, entertainment, sales, and corporate functions. As a large cruise company, Carnival must maintain strong standards for guest safety, vessel security, environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance, and digital resilience. This role supports the increasingly important protection of maritime systems and onboard technology against cyber threats while helping the company operate safely and reliably.
For this role, “on cruise” generally means a shoreside position in Miami supporting ships that travel between many islands, rather than living permanently on one island. Cruise-related opportunities include maritime operations, engineering, cybersecurity, hospitality, culinary services, entertainment, guest relations, and deck positions. Life onboard can be fast-paced and multicultural, with shared accommodation, long working hours, structured routines, and limited personal space, but meals, travel, and accommodation are commonly provided. Shoreside employees in Miami usually enjoy a more conventional lifestyle and access to a large international community. Visa requirements depend on nationality and assignment: shipboard employees may need a seafarer’s visa, transit visa, or crew documentation, while Miami-based employees need authorization to work in the United States. Relocation may involve work authorization, medical screening, background checks, and maritime training. Confirm requirements directly with Carnival before accepting an offer.
