Senior Vice President of Global Cruise Logistics
Kasper Sommer is the Senior Vice President of Global Cruise Logistics at Delver Agents, HAF and Swift Marine, based in Copenhagen. In this role, he leads the group’s cruise logistics strategy worldwide, expanding its global footprint and ensuring that cruise lines and industry suppliers benefit from reliable, cost-efficient, and high-performance supply chain solutions. His work focuses on building strong partnerships, providing operational clarity, and enabling seamless guest experiences on every voyage.
With more than two decades of international leadership experience across logistics, freight forwarding, and maritime operations, Kasper has held senior roles in the U.S. and Europe, overseeing strategy, commercial development, and operational excellence. For over 15 years, he has specialized in end-to-end cruise and marine logistics, developing a deep understanding of global supply chains, maritime operations, and the challenges unique to the cruise industry.
One of the milestones he is most proud of is leading the transformation of a global logistics organization during a period of rapid industry change—strengthening performance, modernizing processes, and elevating the customer experience. This achievement, he notes, reinforced his belief that the right team, a shared vision, and disciplined execution can truly redefine success.
Kasper’s leadership style is direct, collaborative, and people-focused. He believes in creating environments where teams thrive—built on accountability, trust, and open communication. His core values are simple yet powerful: do the right thing, keep your word, and show up for the team—especially when the seas get rough.
Outside of work, Kasper enjoys skiing with family and friends, as well as cooking, basketball, padel tennis, and classic Danish hygge—evenings of board games, movies, and relaxation. As a father of two, he also enjoys supporting his children’s passions for horseback riding and handball.
Inspired by the world of sports, Kasper admires Kobe Bryant’s relentless work ethic and Phil Jackson’s team philosophy, often quoting: “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
Looking ahead, Kasper’s vision is to strengthen the group’s position as the most trusted logistics partner in the global cruise industry. By developing talent, expanding capabilities, and continuously enhancing reliability and agility, he aims to ensure that clients choose the team not because they have to—but because they know it’s the best choice to get the job done.

It is almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
For out in this world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will—

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster person;
But sooner or later the one who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!”*
