Stories From Our Students

“During my internship program during the summer of 2018 I enjoyed every single bit of it. I got to meet a great staff that I will forever be able to call a family. They taught me a lot about work and how things are ran. The interns that I had the pleasure of working with made the summer one to always remember. If you decide to choose Vagabond Cruise for your internship it will be a great decision. You will get a great experience and will learn a lot while you are here.”

Taylor Thompson

Emporia State University

“Resort Intern Connection provided me with the opportunity to intern with Vagabond Cruise this summer and all I can say is it was a summer of a life time. Vagabond cruise allowed me to apply what I am learning in school to real world experiences. Not only are you able to learn more about the industry but you are getting the opportunity to live on Hilton Head Island for a summer. I would recommend this opportunity to any student looking to get more experience in the hospitality industry.”

“I had the opportunity to intern with Vagabond this summer of 2018, and it was an amazing experience to add to my resume. I was able to follow alongside the Passenger Service Manager and the Food and Beverage Manager to gain the knowledge and experience needed to fulfil the job opportunities. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to live on Hilton Head Island and work with other interns who soon became close friends. I would recommend this internship to anyone who wants to gain experience in the hospitality field and looks to partake in a fun opportunity over the summer.”
