Having grown up in Cork, Ireland, an area steeped in maritime traditions, Captain Ryan is a veteran with three-decades of experience at sea. He started as a cadet in the Merchant Navy, before moving to the cruise industry several years later, joining Holland America Line rising to the rank of Captain and later serving as Fleet Master.

On joining Saga, Ryan said: “My career at sea is now in its 30^th year, and over that time I have seen most of the world including amazing, out-of-the-way places rarely witnessed by outsiders. I hope that my experience in sailing the planet will benefit Saga as we bring a most unique cruising experience to our guests.”

Captain Ryan now lives in Nova Scotia in Canada with his wife and daughter.  At home, he is active as a community volunteer, collects rare and antique books and he helps to run the family’s four-acre hobby farm.
