DAVIDE RICCARDI

After graduating from Istituto Tecnico Nautico G. Rotundi in Manfredonia, I began my maritime career aboard a ferry operating in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy. I then transitioned to cargo vessels, specifically bulk carriers, where I started gaining valuable experience sailing across the seven seas. Upon obtaining my Officer of the Watch (OOW) license, I entered the cruise industry, serving aboard vessels from Princess Cruises, P&O UK, and P&O Australia. Over the course of more than eight years in the cruise sector, I developed a solid foundation in passenger vessel operations. Seeking to broaden my professional horizons, I embarked on a new journey in the yachting industry, working as First Officer on two mid-sized yachts. However, my passion for the cruise sector ultimately led me back to passenger ships. In May 2017, I joined Disney Cruise Line as First Officer, and in May 2023, I was promoted to Safety Officer aboard the Disney Wonder. As of February 2025, I have proudly stepped into the role of Chief Officer, continuing my commitment to safety, leadership, and operational excellence at sea. I invite you to review my CV, certifications, and training records, along with a detailed overview of the various contracts I've completed across a wide range of vessel types and maritime companies.

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level Deck officer/Chief Officer position. Ready to help team achieve company goals.
