About the journey
Voyage is an elite, award-winning program that provides a combination of hands-on, discipline-specific training and a leadership-focused curriculum.

Each individual’s Voyage journey is unique, spanning 12-18 months dependent upon your career interests, passions, goals, and location. You’ll immediately be immersed in our rich culture and portfolio of global brands to learn how Marriott sets the standard of industry excellence.
