Peter Deer steps down as Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Chief Financial Officer

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has today announced that Peter Deer has stepped down from his role as Chief Financial Officer.

Peter joined the business in 2004 and has worked in various roles across the business in that time. Most notably, he led the company through the Covid-19 pandemic and played an important role in securing the purchase of the newest ships in the fleet, Bolette and Borealis.

Peter will spend the summer enjoying some quality time with his family before seeking new opportunities.

Samantha Stimpson, CEO at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“I am grateful to Pete for his significant contribution to the business over his 20-year tenure, and specifically the guidance he has offered since I joined the business in February.

“I wish him a relaxing summer and prosperous future career, as my team and I continue to grow and modernise Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.”

Samantha’s appointment at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines follows 20 years of growth and transformation experience in the travel industry.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
