I first heard about Cosmos during my final year at the Naval Academy in Varna. Many of my colleagues were already talking about their experiences, but to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. As a student, the transition from the classroom to a real vessel feels like a massive leap, and I wasn't sure if an agency would really take the time to guide someone with zero experience.

I decided to apply anyway, and those doubts disappeared almost immediately. The staff didn't just see me as another file; they moved incredibly fast to help me secure my cadet program. They understood the urgency of getting those sea days under my belt before graduation.

Once I had my degree in hand, there was no question where I’d go for my first professional contract. I returned to the office, and the team took over the heavy lifting. They managed everything—the specific certifications, the medical examinations, and the endless paperwork—allowing me to focus entirely on preparing for my new role.

What I value most, however, is that their help didn't stop once the contract was signed. During those first critical steps of my career, they were always there to share professional insights and follow my progress closely. It feels less like a business relationship and more like having a dedicated mentor in the industry. I am now sailing with confidence, knowing I have a team behind me that truly cares about my professional growth."

As a musician and singer who graduated from the National School of Arts in Varna, I know the rhythm of our city perfectly. During the summer, opportunities are everywhere—tourism is booming, hotels are at full capacity, and there is plenty of work for everyone. However, when the quiet winter months arrive, the reality for a freelance artist changes drastically.

For more than 10 years now, I have relied on the agency to turn those 'slow' months into the most exciting periods of my career. Thanks to their network of contacts, I don’t just find a job; I gain access to amazing professional opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.

Over the last decade, my voice has taken me to incredible places. I have worked on both the cozy and elegant river cruise vessels across Europe and the massive ocean liners traveling the world. The agency has always managed to find the perfect balance for me—a stage that fits my style and conditions that provide me with stability and security.

For an artist, it is vital to have a partner who understands the specifics of our profession and our needs outside of the peak season. They don't just find me work; they help me build an international career while staying connected to my roots.
