But cruise line Royal Caribbean International has come up with an “intern-ship” which sounds more worthwhile — and not just because it involves a ship.

The Miami-based line is seeking an “extraordinary explorer” for the company’s first Instagram Intern-ship of the Seas.

The social-media role will involve travelling three oceans, on three ships, for three weeks with a brief to capture the unique stories, destinations and experiences of a cruise.

Food, drink, accommodation, flights and expenses will all be covered, and the successful candidate will be rewarded with £3,000 in pay.
