Moana Slogan

OUR COMPANY

The agency moana concepts e.K. was founded in December 2005 by owner Gabriele Heyne in Frankfurt. It all started with the river cruise operator nicko tours (today nicko cruises), for which moana developed the international sales management over several years. Initially, the portfolio expanded to include other river cruise companies. DMCs and hotels soon followed. By now, moana represents partners worldwide.

The network of moana concepts e.K. includes personal contacts to tour operators, travel agencies, incentive, event, and congress agencies in the German-speaking as well as in the international market with focus on Western-, Central- and Northern Europe and builds the bridge to you as DMC, cruise company or hotel.
