Twenty years ago, the cruise industry was in the midst of a major growth spurt. With everyone focused on the arrival of the first 100,000 gross ton ship and the coming era of the mega cruise ship, the acquisition of four Russian riverboats by a small group of investors led by industry-veteran Torstein Hagen largely went unnoticed.
