You should find a university or college which does a travel and tourism course.
Im currently studying travel and tourism at the Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative studies, so if your anywhere near birmingham, come to my college!
If you do choose to study a course in travel and tourism, they cover all sorts of tourism, such as -
Airlines,
Long Haul Flights,
Visitor Attractions,
Cruise Sector,
Holiday Reps,
Marketing,
Customer Service
It really does cover everything if your looking for a future job in travel or tourism, good luck

A. Get to know the players and you’ll find the cruise lines most likely to hire you. Who are the most successful cruise lines? Who is adding new ships? Apply there first. Familiarize yourself with your prospective employer’s “product. Where do their ships travel? For what programs and facilities are they best known? Most importantly – what kind of people will you find aboard their ships? The passengers are your ultimate employer, the customers you’ll serve, protect and entertain.
B. Choose several jobs which interest you and compare your qualifications to the required duties and responsibilities. You many find your previous work or education can easily translate into a job that offers worldwide travel. You’ll also learn what skills or certifications you need to add to your resume to get aboard. Hot Tip: Practice public speaking whenever possible, study a foreign language or get your CPR or Lifesaving Certification.
C. Sell yourself!. Make it easy for the personnel director to see how you’re qualified for a specific job. Get to know yourself – what you have to offer – Target your resume and cover letter towards one specific job – and show how your work experience, talents, skills and education directly relate to the new opportunity. Don’t just list what you’ve accomplished – show how you can contribute to the passenger’s cruise experience. Include on your resume: previous work experience, duties, responsibilities, awards, promotions and salary history. Include educational achievements, degrees and certifications, hobbies, awards and membership in organizations. Hot Tip: Apply early and often – but don’t pester personnel by phone – send follow up letters and resume updates.
Hope this helps.
