Cruise Lounge

Every day, seafarers from across the globe dock at Tilbury, bringing with them 95% of the goods we rely on—from food and clothes to cars and tech. Many have spent up to 9 months at sea, away from family and friends. When they step ashore, they’re looking for something simple but powerful: connection, comfort, and a warm welcome.

That’s where you come in.

At the QVSR Seafarers’ Centre, you’ll meet people from all over the world, hear incredible stories, and help create a space where seafarers can relax, recharge, and reconnect with loved ones. With over 8,500 visitors each year, no two days are the same.

As a Cruise Lounge volunteer, you'll be at the heart of the action at Tilbury Cruise Terminal:

• Serve refreshments and create a welcoming atmosphere
• Sell essential items to crew members
• Help keep the lounge clean, comfortable, and inviting

It’s hands-on, social, and incredibly rewarding.
