You could major in Hospitality Management or Business Management, International Business. I imagine that most Cruise Directors, at least for major cruise lines have masters degrees.
That would be 4 years for undergraduate (you can major in anything really…business management, hospitality management, economics, sociology, psychology, communications, etc) and depending on which program you pursue graduate school can be anywhere from 2 years (Masters in Management Hospitality) to 8 years for some other degrees.
I’m not sure about the pay. You could always email/write to/or call a cruise line and ask if an HR person or manager has a few minutes to answer some questions. You’d be surprised how willing people are to speak with aspiring young people!
Good luck!
