maconda supported Capvis, the leading Swiss private equity firm, in the acquisition of the river travel specialist nicko tours.

With its 33 ships, the company has the largest river cruise fleet with the broadest offering in Europe. In doing so, nicko tours covers the entire value chain\u2014from assembling the trip and booking through to delivery on its own ships. <\/p>\n\n
