The move was confirmed to TTG on Monday (22 August) by the line’s managing director, Peter Deer.
"In early July, Fred Olsen Jnr resigned as chairman of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, and from our board, following a long tenure of 35 years in the cruise industry," he added.
The boards for Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and its holding company continue to comprise Fred and Anette Olsen, Richard Aa, Deer and Jeremy Dowler.
"All of us at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, and our board, send our sincere thanks to Fred Olsen Jnr for his support and long service to our company," Deer concluded.
