Caricature Artists
Everyone loves to bring home a fun, visual memory of their cruise vacation, which is why Caricature Artists are so popular on board ships. Sixth Star currently places Caricature Artists aboard several ships to serve as part of the ship’s enrichment staff.
During a cruise assignment, a Caricature Artist's responsibility is to provide quick and fun caricature drawings which are offered at no charge to passengers. Usually, the Caricaturist is situated in popular, high-traffic areas of the ship sketching individuals, as well as groups of family and friends traveling together. As a general rule of thumb, less than five minutes should be spent on each drawing each individual.
Caricature Artists have an opportunity to be creative. Many have incorporated nautical elements in their sketches, such as positioning the subject on the bow of a cruise ship, etc. And in addition to artistic skills, shipboard Caricaturists must be friendly, creative and have excellent social skills.
Caricaturists who are placed by Sixth Star are offered the luxuries of a fine voyage in a passenger stateroom with full passenger privileges in exchange for their services and an administrative fee of $40 per day for each day of the cruise. This fee covers the costs associated with the application processing, interviewing, correspondence on behalf of the cruise lines, form completions and all other steps necessary to complete your cruise placement. Included with your per night fee, we welcome you to bring one companion to sail in the same stateroom at no additional charge.
The Caricaturist is welcome to bring a guest to sail in the same cabin free of charge. Caricaturists must provide all of the supplies necessary to conduct the sessions, such as pens, paper, and easel, etc...
During a typical week at sea, a Caricaturist would conduct approximately six separate two-hour sessions. The sessions are usually conducted when the ship is at sea, so that Caricaturists and their guests have free time to enjoy the ports of call on the itinerary. Programs may also take place on mornings at sea before an afternoon port call, and afternoons at sea after a morning port call. Evening sessions might also be required. Soliciting the passengers for tips and tipping jars is strictly prohibited. However, you may accept non-solicited tips as long as they are put away from the sight of other passengers immediately.
