We recognise the value in having people with a variety of backgrounds, experience and skills in our business. That means the role requirements here should be seen as a guide, not a checklist. If you have more, less or different experiences, but really relevant skills, we’d love to hear from you.
We work flexibly and will help you to find a healthy balance of remote working and time in our fantastic Southampton office, collaborating, taking part in events and getting to know people that makes working with us so rewarding. We welcome the opportunity to discuss reduced hours and job share arrangements.
The Role
As a Contact Centre Sales Advisor, you will be the point of contact for sales enquiries and a trusted product expert acting as the front line of our business and working with limited supervision.
Through passion for our brand, using your product knowledge and sales skills you will encourage our guests to book, recognising opportunities at every point of contact to maximise the guest’s cruise experience through upselling the purchase of cruise holiday products and ancillaries.
Accountabilities include:
• Work with limited supervision to meet stretching conversion, revenue targets in line with CCO monthly targets
• Meet or exceed efficiency KPIs, quality metrics & customer satisfaction goals
• Recognise opportunities on every contact to maximise the guest’s cruise experience e.g. the purchase of cruise holiday products or gifts and recommending ancillaries.
• Obtain marketing consent at the time of booking to improve the health of the brands database
Our role categories range from CUK15 (entry level) to CUK1 (Brand President) so you can clearly see internal development opportunities. This role is a CUK13 and is offered on a full time, permanent basis, with at least two days based in our Southampton office.
Hours can be provided between 22.5 hours per week - 40 hours per week with set rotations.

No one knows cruising like Carnival UK, where talented people from across the globe come together to create unforgettable holiday happiness. As part of the world’s largest holiday travel and leisure company, we take enormous pride in bringing to life two of the most iconic brands from Britain’s rich seafaring heritage, P&O Cruises and Cunard. Collectively they have been delivering unbridled joy, boundless adventure and lifelong memories to millions of people for over 350 years.
