Introduction to the Distinguished Gents Program
Introduction
Sixth Star Entertainment & Marketing is currently recruiting “Distinguished
Gents” to dance, travel and socialize on luxury cruise ships to ports of call around
the world. A longtime and treasured tradition aboard cruise lines, Distinguished Gents see
that ladies traveling on their own enjoy dancing, conversation, dining and other shipboard
activities in pleasant company. This is a non-paid, goodwill volunteer position that is
offered in exchange for a luxury cruise, with a small administrative fee.

fabulous destinations. Cruise to exciting ports of call in the Mediterranean, Baltic,
Caribbean, Panama Canal, Alaska, South America, Antarctica, South Pacific, New Zealand,
Hawaii and Mexican Riviera. Fantastic adventures await!
What does the job entail?
Sixth Star is seeking charming and sociable single gentlemen to serve as dance partners
and social companions for women cruising solo. On a cruise, the #1 responsibility of a
Distinguished Gent is to Dance, Dance, Dance!!! In addition to serving as a dance partner,
Gents also serve as a general companion and as a partner in games such as Bridge,
Backgammon, Trivia, etc. Distinguished Gents are also requested to attend dance classes,
parties and assist with other on-board activities as fairly requested by the Cruise
Director. There are also opportunities to escort shore tours, which means the Gent
receives a free tour by acting as a representative of the cruise line.
Am I qualified to be a Distinguished Gent?
Ideal candidates are wonderful social dancers skilled in the fox trot, swing, waltz,
rumba, cha-cha and quickstep. Distinguished Gents often have backgrounds in the areas of
business, travel, law, finance, etc.; many are retired or semi-retired. It is very
important that Distinguished Gents have a sincere, outgoing personality, are excellent
conversationalists, are able to easily mix with a wide range of people and have the energy
and to be with people for long periods of time every day and evening.
Parameters for the Distinguished Gents Engagements
On a cruise, Distinguished Gents receive all on-board meals, daytime activities,
world-class evening entertainment and the opportunity to experience travel to ports of
call around the world. In the world of cruising, each cruise line has its own personality
and the amenities that are offered may vary. Gents are responsible for paying an
administrative fee of $25 for each night of the cruise. This fee covers the costs
associated with the application processing, interviewing, correspondence on behalf of the
cruise lines, form completions, etc. and all steps necessary to complete your cruise
placement. An invoice will be sent to your attention under separate cover within a few
days of your cruise being confirmed. Invoices must be paid upon receipt. Sixth Star

may pay through our secure online payment portal or by contacting accounting directly by
phone or email. Personal checks and money orders are also accepted.
