From freshly baked breads and pastries to plated desserts, teatime treats, and special occasion items, Pastry Chefs are encouraged to put their own spin on things and shape the guest dining experience directly. You'll also support dietary needs like gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-sensitive items, all while delivering consistent quality and presentation.\nWorking closely with the Head Chef, you'll manage daily production, help with inventory and ordering, and uphold sanitation and food safety standards at all times. While baking and pastry is the focus, you'll also pitch in on broader galley operations - cleaning, provisioning, and occasional support with crew meals or dishwashing.\nThis role is ideal for someone with strong baking and pastry skills, excellent time management, and a passion for working in a dynamic, team-driven environment. Pastry Chefs work approximately 12 hours per day on a rotational schedule of 8 weeks on / 4 weeks off.\nCandidates must be genuinely prepared for sustained physical demand in a remote, at-sea environment before applying.\nWORK SCHEDULE\nPastry Chefs work an average of 12 hours per day, every day, with no days off, throughout an 8-week rotation onboard - followed by approximately 4 weeks off.\nLIVING CONDITIONS\nCrew quarters are compact and shared - you will bunk with one or two roommates for the full duration of your rotation, with minimal personal space. The vessel operates in remote locations with limited or no port access between expeditions, so cell service and internet may be unavailable for extended periods. You must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medications, as refills cannot be obtained while underway.\nThis lifestyle suits people who are adaptable, self-sufficient, and genuinely energized by close-knit team environments and remote travel. If those conditions sound like a challenge rather than an adventure, this may not be the right fit.\nPHYSICAL DEMANDS\nThis is a physically demanding role performed in a moving marine environment. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to stand, walk, bend, kneel, squat, and climb steep interior stairs repeatedly throughout a 12-hour shift - including during periods of significant vessel motion. The employee must regularly lift and carry items up to 50 pounds. Work rotates continuously across cabin cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and food service, often without extended breaks. Work is performed in confined spaces and high-humidity environments including the galley.\nFood Preparation\nParticipates in the actual baking of guest breakfast, lunch, and dinner breads (both sweet and savory), as well as any spreads, jams, or butter accompanying breads, as well as any baked goods for meal periods.\nPrepares and plates guest dinner and lunch desserts, including mise en place, sauce, and garnish.\nPrepares mid-morning and high tea pastries and baked goods, and any out-of-the-blue and \"welcome\" baked goods.\nPrepares and produces baked goods and desserts per required dietary restrictions (GF, vegan, kosher, lactose-free).\nMay assist in production of crew meals.\nWorks with the Head Chef on inventory and baking/pastry orders\nCleaning\nResponsible for all baking and pastry area food service sanitary compliance. Including, but not limited to, all equipment and countertop equipment, deck, bulkheads and overheads.\nRespects and follows proper FIFO for all baking and pastry pantry.\nHelps maintain organization in the walk-in cooler and freezer, and respects the designated areas of storage within the walk-ins \nHelps maintain the cleanliness of the galley area and food storage rooms. \nAdheres to all CDC Vessel Sanitation Program and Health Canada requirements. \nAssists in dishwashing as needed and/or assigned. \nFood Stores:\nAssists in loading, handling and proper storage of food and related items to maintain inventory at appropriate stocking levels and to ensure proper rotation of perishable and non-perishable food items.\nSafety and Security:\nParticipates in on board safety training, meetings and drills, as directed by the Captain, including fire, abandon ship, man overboard, flooding and medical emergencies. \nAdheres to Company’s policy on uniform, to promote company’s image, safety, and standards. \nParticipates in shore side training as required by the company. \nFamiliar with the ISM codes and requirements. \nMaintains familiarity with all duties under the company Safety Management System and Emergency Station Billet duties. \nQUALIFICATIONS:\nCompletion of formal training at a culinary or Baking and pastry school preferred. \nMinimum of 2 years’ experience in the culinary industry on board passenger ships preferred. \nGood time management skills; ability to handle multiple tasks, set priorities, and meet deadlines. \nAbility to get along with co-workers and support a team environment. \nMay be responsible for training and guiding others and/or reviewing their work.\nLicenses/Certificates\nUS Passport, or US Permanent Resident Card with valid passport.\nSTCW Basic Safety Training required. \nSTCW Crowd Management required, training provided\nUSCG Medical Certificate required, training provided\nSTCW Maritime Security Awareness required, training provided\nCurrent First Aid/CPR certification required. \nTWIC required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5467,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Adventure Tourism","Cruises"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T21:58:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.558,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":98,"expected_fill_days":54,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":59750,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T00:50:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1955,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1777674},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1777674"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flindblad-expeditions-pastry-chef"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1354955}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"expeditions.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1354955},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
