The Officer's Daily Log From the NavigatorIn the early hours of the morning we approached avery narrow section called Snow Passage The Snow
Passage passes between Zarembo Island and BushyIsland and leads us from the Sumner Strait into the
Clarence Strait. Following the Clarence Strait we willcontinue southwards for Ketchikan. Passing Guard
Island on our starboard side, we shall then enter the
Tongass Narrows, the passage in which the town ofKetchikan lies. After departing Ketchikan we will onceagain transit the Tongass Narrows south-eastwardspassing between Pennock Island and Revillagigedo
Island. Turning around Mary Island, we will enterDanger Passage that will lead us from the Americancontrolled waters of Alaska into Canadian territorial
waters. On entering Canadian waters we shall remainon a southerly course and enter the Hecate Strait. We
will keep on following various southerly courses
throughout the evening and into the night on our way
to Victoria.
Meet Executive Chef
Joel Directo
Executive Chef Joel Directo
hails from Pangasinan in the
Philippines. He began aculinary arts apprenticeship at
a 5-star hotel, and in 1990, he
proudly earned a gold medalin Saipan's annual culinary
contest.
After working at several resorts
throughout Asia, Joel took his
talents to the seas and was
promoted to Executive Chef in
2004.
He recently became the first
non-Italian chef awarded as a
member of the F.I.C. (the Italian
Culinary Federation) and is a
member of the World
Association of Chefs Society.
By Joel Directo, Executive ChefKetchikan is the self-described "Salmon
Capital of the World". This cozy port city is justthree miles long and three blocks wide, but itdoes not lack in options for spending your day.One of Ketchikan's most visited attractions is
Totem Bight State Park, where 14 intricatelycarved and painted totem poles offer a glimpseinto the native Tlingit and Haida Indian cultures.The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show is just ashort walk from the ship and offers uniqueentertainment, from lumberjacks climbing50-foot trees to competitions including axethrowing and log rolling. There are also severalfishing expeditions, flight tours, and even therare chance to snorkel in the waters ofMountain Point, where you can discover thediversity of Alaska's marine life.
It's been my experience while sailing theworld that the personality of a region comesthrough clearly in its cuisine. The distinctiveflavors of Alaska are no exception. Fromsmoked and cured salmon to tender AlaskanHalibut, it's no surprise that people like toindulge in seafood when they visit Alaska.Fresh sourdough bread is also often servedwith meals, and you can even try reindeersausage! You can get a taste of these staplesand other traditional fare during your visit toKetchikan, as well as through the regionaldishes we prepare from scratch during ourvoyage.
On the ship, my dedicated team of 220crew members is always busy slicing anddicing, baking and cooking up a feast for thesenses. It is my pleasure to ensure that eachmeal you enjoy on board is an experience toremember. Vacation is a time to relax and relishthe good life, and we take pride in preparingfresh and flavorful cuisine with passion andcare. Buon Appetito!
