As part of the renovation project OceaniaNEXT from December 2018 until the beginning of 2019 the Insignia was transformed into an almost new ship and now captivates with the finest elegance. The decks are made of the finest teak, custom stone coating and high quality tiles. The lounges, suites and cabins aboard this ship are luxurious and feature neo-classical furniture. Four first-class restaurants with free choice of seats and dining time offer exquisite food, eight lounges and bars complete the culinary offer. There is also a fitness center and a spa area aboard Insignia. The 180-meter-long ship accommodates 684 guests at double occupancy. There are few children aboard, there is no childcare.
Oceania Cruises is characterized by first-class and modern luxury. The atmosphere and entertainment on board is typically American, but relaxation and recreation is absolutely in the focus. The luxury fleet offers four small ships for 684 passengers and two ships for about twice as many passengers. Due to the small size of the ships idyllic small ports and nice little coastal towns can be called, which makes the routes of Oceania Cruises particularly appealing. All ships convince with a personal atmosphere and excellent service. The board language is English.
The Insignia offers 342 spacious and luxurious cabins, almost 70% of them with private verandas. The interior in light colours is characterized by traditional hardwood, fine fabrics, high-quality furniture and original works of art. The minibar with soft drinks, fine soft towels and bathrobes, a flat-screen TV and a DVD player with an extensive media library are just some of the amenities in the cabins and suites. A special feature is the "Prestige Tranquility" bed, an exclusive edition for Oceania Cruises, which ensures particularly high sleeping comfort. Particularly noteworthy are the Owner's, Vista and Penthouse Suites, which were recently modernised as well. Custom-made carpets, lighting installations, exquisite designer fabrics and marble, as well as polished granite make for a very special living experience.
400 well-trained service employees take care of only 684 guests - there is clearly no wish left unfulfilled! Explore the most fascinating destinations around the globe in an undisturbed atmosphere with the cruise line's luxurious ships. Even the outstanding cuisine, as Oceania Cruises itself says, the "finest cuisine at sea", contributes to the exclusive ambience on board. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remains warm, sociable and open, the service remains unobtrusive.
On board four unique restaurants with exquisite food await you. The head of the dining area, the legendary master chef Jacques Pépin, inspires the chefs to culinary masterpieces. An unforgettable dinner begins with free choice of seating, giving you the freedom to dine whenever and with whom you want. There are no surcharges for dinner in any of the restaurants on board. You have the choice between the Grand Dining Room, provided with luxurious chandeliers decorated with precious stones, the "Polo Grill", the "Toscana" and the casual "Terrace Café". Minor snacks are also available at the “Waves Grill”, afternoon tea or at the baristas in the popular coffee bar. 24-hour room service is also available.
The variety of entertainment options on board ensures that there is something for every interest. Among other things, the ship offers a fitness center, where you can be active in sports, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center for relaxing hours and soothing treatments, numerous lounges and bars and a Monte Carlo-style casino. Even readings, musical events and show programs in the evening are very popular with guests on board.
