Phoebe Olsen
Phoebe Olsen grew up in a small fishing village on the rugged south coast of Ireland. There she was never far from a boat and spent most of her summers out on the water in one form or another. Pursuing a degree in archaeology she completed her undergraduate in archaeology at the University College of Cork followed by a master’s degree in the Osteoarchaeology. Phoebe has spent over ten years studying and working in archaeology. For five years she worked as a field archaeologist in the UK working on a range of projects from the unearthing of a Saxon cemetery next to a Neolithic monument in Wiltshire to the excavation of Bronze Age cremation urns from Kent. Phoebe began her career in expedition cruising in 2017, sharing her love and enthusiasm for all things archaeological and anthropological. Expedition ships have taken her from the coral reefs and islands of Oceania to the Kelp-strewn waters of her native Ireland, and many more places in-between. She splits her time between expedition leading and as a staff member so she can deliver content on the topics she loves the most while enjoying new challenges.
