Imagine cruising round the world and posting your travels on Instagram – for a job.

It sounds too good to be true, but cruise company Royal Caribbean is offering someone the chance to do just that as part of an internship this summer.

The lucky person who gets the job will spend three weeks on three different cruise ships, documenting their travels and experiences on Instagram.

According to Royal Caribbean, the #ExtraordinaryExplorer will be: “A hybrid between a photographer, documentary maker and a storyteller”.

“A typical day will see the successful candidate immerse themselves in the extraordinary moments, experiences and stories that take place on land and at sea, and share them with the world via Instagram – the number one source of travel inspiration in the UK,” it said.

The requirements for the job are quite simple. You’ve got to be skilled in Instagram, with “exemplary ability to capture stunning views, extraordinary experiences, beautiful sunsets and amazing stories on social media.” You’ll have to be free to travel for three consecutive weeks between June –July 2017 to regions including New York, the Caribbean, Asia and the Mediterranean and, of course, own a smartphone. The successful candidate gets a full travel package including transport via three company cruise ships, with all travel, accommodation and daily expenses included and £3,000 in prize money. On top of that, you get complimentary access to facilities like climbing walls, restaurants, swimming pools, zip wires, water-slides and onboard fitness facilities. You don’t get a uniform though - with advice to “Bring your own swimmers, sandals & shades”. To apply for the job, you just need to be at least 21 years old, and post your “most extraordinary travel photo or short video on Instagram”, tagging @RoyalCaribbeanUK and #ExtraordinaryExplorer
