Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you found the team friendly and supportive, and that you would recommend Harding to others. Creating a positive working environment where colleagues feel welcomed and supported is incredibly important to us, so it's great to know this reflected your experience. Working onboard offers a unique opportunity to develop a career while travelling the world, and we're pleased that you found value in your time with us. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding accommodation, food and life onboard. Cruise ship living is very different from a land-based role, and while cabin sizes and some onboard facilities are determined by our cruise line partners, we continue to work closely with them to ensure the best possible experience for our teams. Thank you again for your contribution and feedback.

Thank you for leaving us a review. It’s great to hear you’ve enjoyed our Colleague Sailing Programme which provides our Head Office teams the opportunity to work in our shops to meet our guests and understand what life is like on board for our crew. We’re currently working through improvements to our Bristol office to ensure it’s where our teams can do their best work. If you had any ideas to share, please feel free to reach out to our Facilities team or your Colleague Forum representative.
