Food & Beverage Manager John Leitao
I was born in Goa, moved to Europe and then to Canada. I have completed my Hotel Management and have worked for 5 star chain of Hotels around the world for the past 15 years. I had always dreamt of working for a Cruise Line. Although the interview process was hard and lengthy, eventually got an opportunity to work for an esteem organization of Holland America. In 2003I started as an Assistant F& B Manager on Ms. Amsterdam and was recently promoted to a F&B Manager's position at Ms. Prinsendam. During my tenure with Holland America, I have also worked on Ms. Oosterdam, Ms Ryndam, Ms. Maasdam, and Ms. Westerdam. I feel privileged to be doing the GRAND VOYAGE- The Circle of the Sun.

David Livingstone, 1813 – 1873, was a Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa and the first European to cross the African continent. From 1841 to 1852, while a medical missionary for the London Missionary Society in what is now Botswana, he crossed the Kalahari desert and reached Lake Ngami in 1849. He discovered the Zambezi River in 1851. Hoping to abolish the slave trade by opening Africa to Christian commerce and missionary stations, he traveled to Luanda on the west coast in 1853. Following the Zambezi River, he discovered and named Victoria Falls in 1855 and reached the east coast at Quelimane, Portuguese East Africa (now Mozambique), in 1856. His Missionary Travels of 1857 in South Africa is an account of that journey. Appointed British consul at Quelimane, he was given command of an expedition (1857 – 1863) to explore the Zambezi region. In 1866 he returned to Africa to seek the source of the Nile. He discovered lakes Mweru and Bangweula and in 1871 reached the Lualaba tributary of the Congo River. Sickness compelled his return to Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, where the journalist H. M. Stanley found him in 1871. Unable to persuade Livingstone to leave, Stanley joined him on a journey from 1871 – 1872 to the north end of Lake Tanganyika. In 1873 he died in the village of Chief Chitambo. African followers carried his body to the coast where it was sent to England and buried in Westminster Abbey.
