And while most mainstream cruise lines stock their ships with frozen seafood, Others look for the local catch, whenever possible.

“The food and beverage team is in constant touch with our port agents and local suppliers to see what the best catch and supply is,” “In Alaska, the great thing is the broad network of suppliers and the freshness of seafood. AnThis means we can offer fresh Alaskan seafood every night in all of the restaurants on board.”

And, yes — if you want to — you can catch it yourself. On every Alaskan cruise, there are opportunities for salmon fishing, deep-sea fishing for halibut or cod, and even setting out on the big crab boats.

“In many instances, guests can bring their catch back to the ship,” . “The onboard team will clean and prepare the catch to your liking in any of the restaurants.” Guests can take even cooking lessons or be welcomed into local homes to prepare and dine on a meal in the family kitchen.

“The great thing about the variety of tours in Alaska is they not only showcase the local seafood, but they can be as tame or adventurous as you like,” adds Manjencic. “Everything from fly-fishing in a stream or visiting a local oyster farm, to sailing on the crab boat from the Deadliest Catch.”
