Rising returns from Fred Olsen Cruise Lines helped Oslo-listed Bonheur reduce its second quarter red ink.

Fred Olsen Cruise booked a profit of NOK 67m ($7.8m) in the three months to the end of June, up from NOK 23m a year ago.

The cruise business was a bright spot in a quarter which saw a loss from the company’s shipping and offshore wind arm and a reduced deficit at its drilling division.
