"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mrs. Paula Pinto from PrimeMarine for her excellent recruitment work for CroisiEurope in Portugal. Mrs. Paula handled all the documentation, logistics, and provided essential support so that I could go and work on the cruise ship in Lyon.
We are extremely grateful for her enormous patience and total availability. Without her constant support and guidance, it would not have been possible to complete the entire process successfully and on time.
Thank you very much for making this goal become a reality!"
Sofia Trindade

I felt supported at every stage and I highly recommend Prime Marine without any doubt.”
Ana Mendes
“My experience with Primemarineship was extremely positive from the very first contact. I applied for a Front Office position and immediately felt a very close and dedicated professional support. Throughout the entire process — before, during, and after the application — I was always well guided, with clear assistance at every stage.
I would also highlight the way the team is involved in career development, not limiting themselves to the initial hiring process. There is a genuine concern for our professional growth and well-being. They are very transparent and honest. The agency’s door is always open to clarify doubts, exchange ideas, or simply talk about the path we are taking.
They are competent, friendly professionals and, above all, very human — something that makes all the difference in such an important process, where we often decide to leave our comfort zone and embrace an opportunity in another country with so many different cultures.”
Rui Lobo
I would like to especially highlight Paula, who supported me throughout this entire journey. Her availability, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference. Always ready to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that nothing was left undone, she gave me great confidence from the very beginning. It is rare to find someone so helpful and dedicated, and this made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I always felt that I was in good hands and that there was a genuine interest in helping me achieve this goal. It was not just a service, but a close, human, and highly professional support throughout.
I highly recommend Primemarine Ship to anyone looking to start a career in international cruise ships. Not only because of the simplicity and speed of the process, but especially due to the human quality of the team, who remain available even after everything is completed.
Without a doubt, an experience that exceeded my expectations."

Neuza Verónica
“I got to know Primemarine in 2024, after completing the STCW course at For-Mar in Lisbon. I started working with Viking River Cruises in 2025 through Primemarine, which has been a period of great growth and learning, allowing me to develop both personally and professionally.
I am happy to share this extremely enriching and rewarding experience, highlighting the support and professionalism of Primemarine. I am grateful for the opportunity, the guidance, and the constant availability from your team.”

Arnaldo Palma
“I would like to share my extremely positive experience with Prime Marine Ship and Viking River Cruises. From the very first contact, the entire process was marked by great professionalism and constant support.
I would especially like to highlight Ms. Paula Pinto, who was tireless throughout the entire recruitment and onboarding process. She was always available to help me, clarified all my doubts, answered my phone calls, and supported me at every stage, providing continuous assistance that made all the difference in helping me feel confident and prepared.
I had the opportunity to start with a training period in Bordeaux, which was very enriching and allowed me to quickly adapt to the company’s high standards. I joined with an on top contract and, shortly after, I was assigned to Portugal to take on the role of Chef de Rang. In just one week, I was made permanent, which demonstrates not only the team’s trust in my work, but also the meritocratic environment that exists.
It has been an extremely rewarding experience, where I am constantly learning, developing new skills, and growing both professionally and personally. I feel valued, motivated, and very happy to be part of this team.
I highly recommend the recruiter Prime Marine Ship and Viking to anyone looking for a solid and enriching opportunity in the hospitality field.”
Maria Matilde
“In my case, my experience with Primemarine was quite reasonable. I obtained all the necessary information and quickly entered a job that I always thought would be too bureaucratic to achieve on my own, so I would like to thank you for making everything easier and for always being there to clarify.”
Miguel Arrifano
“Primemarine agency was very attentive during my search for a new adventure. Within a few weeks, I was contacted by the agency with two attractive proposals for river cruises and, a little over a month later, after several interviews, here I am navigating one of the rivers with the most beautiful landscapes in Europe, the Douro River, with Viking River Cruises. Thank you very much to Primemarine.”
João Dias
“Prime Marine was a light that appeared at the right time. After some bad experiences with other companies, I was about to give up when Ms. Paula called me. I am very grateful for all the help, availability to answer my questions, and for ensuring everything went well, especially for the honesty.
The whole process took place during Storm Kristin, at a time when I live in one of the most affected areas, where communication was difficult. Even so, Ms. Paula was incredible and always concerned to make sure I received all the information.
Once again, thank you very much. I recommend the company 1000%. Congratulations to your team and your work.”
Mariana Rodrigues
“I would like to share my extremely positive experience regarding the hiring process, which exceeded all my expectations.
From the very first contact, it was clear how efficient and fast the entire process was conducted. In a short time, I managed to secure an opportunity with one of the best cruise companies, which demonstrates not only professionalism but also a strong network of contacts.
As this is my first cruise, I naturally had several doubts and some uncertainty. However, the constant availability and quick responses to all my questions made all the difference. I always felt supported and well guided at every stage of the process.
All the support provided was essential for everything to go smoothly, clearly, and without complications, making this experience even more positive.
In summary, I am extremely satisfied with the entire process and the results achieved. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an opportunity in this field, due to the trust, professionalism, and dedication shown.”
