ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Peter Deilmann, the sole owner of Peter Deilmann
Cruises and a pioneer in the German cruising market, has died. He
was 68 years old.
Deilmann's cruises are sold in the U.S. primarily as river
cruises.
The line also has two ocean-going cruise ships, the Deutschland
and the Berlin, and a masted vessel, the Lili Marleen.
A statement from German-based Peter Deilmann Reederei said
Deilmann's two daughters will continue to operate the company.
