We've all heard a tall tale or two, but when it comes to UnCruise Adventures’ CEO Captain Dan Blanchard — well, he's the real thing. Throughout his career, Captain Dan has been committed to showing his guests “what real wild is.”

In this episode of Humans of Travel, Captain Dan recalls his earliest seafaring days, both on his family’s tugboat and as a member of the Sea Scouts. He also discusses his foray into the cruise industry, and how the lessons he learned as a young entrepreneur are helping UnCruise Adventures navigate the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 pandemic several decades later.
