What to Expect

Cruise Features

Your Ship – Insignia

 

The better-than-new Insignia blends sophistication with a contemporary flair to create a casually elegant ambiance that embodies the most treasured elements of our celebrated ships. Every surface of every suite and stateroom is entirely new, while in the public spaces, a refreshed color palette of soft sea and sky tones surrounds a tasteful renewal of fabrics, furnishings and lighting fixtures that exquisitely encompasses the inimitable style and comfort of Oceania Cruises.

 

Dining Aboard Insignia

Insignia embraces the most treasured elements of our celebrated fleet and features multiple dining venues, of which four are unique, open-seating restaurants with no surcharge. Wherever you choose to dine, you’ll savor The Finest Cuisine at Sea®.

Life On Board

Each day aboard our ships is a spectacle and adventure to experience, from world-class music, high-energy production shows and dazzling cabarets to rousing deck games, spirited wine tastings and evenings at our atmospheric casino. For those seeking more cerebral pursuits, engaging talks by passionate Guest Speakers, chef-led demonstrations inspired by the local cuisine and animated Team Trivia sessions invite you to experience each new horizon more fully.

Enrich the Mind and Soul

The satisfying balance of enriching activities and peaceful havens in which to relax means you always feel right at home. Enjoy an engaging talk by a Guest Speaker that may be a historian, naturalist or former ambassador eager to share insider knowledge. Curl up with a classic novel or travelogue in the cozy library and reconnect with friends and family by visiting our Oceania@Sea Internet Center. Team Trivia, Mensa quizzes and a host of other lively activities and diversions await each day.

Music & Entertainment

Evenings aboard Insignia can be anything you desire. Marvel at the continuously changing talented guest entertainers as you delight in high-energy production shows, talented vocalists, classical music and more. Perhaps stop by the lively Monte Carlo-style Casino for a rousing game or two. Unforgettable evenings are just steps from your stateroom.

Wellness at Sea

Explore the complete array of holistic programs, services and experiences available at Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center – rejuvenating massages, facials, nutrition and lifestyle consultations and so much more are all at your fingertips. Keep up with your exercise routine at our state-of-the-art fitness center or try something new at one of our free fitness classes. Of course, complete relaxation awaits on the gleaming Pool Deck…the perfect place to unwind after an adventurous day ashore.

 

Day 1- Miami

People-watchers will enjoy South Beach’s Ocean Drive, while architecture buffs will love the Art Deco District. If you’re looking for something a bit different, there are world-class museums and shopping venues too. In Miami, there really is something for everyone.

Day 2- Day at Sea

Day 3- Port Antonio

Located on the northeastern side of Jamaica, the beautiful and boutique haven of Port Antonio is a picture-perfect display of Mother Nature’s finest work. The town sits at the foot of Jamaica’s first UNESCO World Heritage site, Blue and John Crow Mountains and makes for the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding national park. Another natural wonder, Reach Falls features white rushing cascades, limestone tiers and a natural heart-shaped spring nestled in a virgin rainforest. Visit Winnifred Beach, one of the most alluring beaches in all of Jamaica, renowned for its calm, bright blue waters and made famous by a Cocktail scene featuring Tom Cruise. About town, stroll the Town Square and stop at Christ Church, an impressive red brick Anglican church boasting a high, vaulted ceiling and a bell tower with a clock built during the late Georgian Period.

Day 4- Day at Sea

Day 5- Oranjestad

Distinguished by its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, Oranjestad is the capital of Aruba, first settled in 1796. Named as a tribute to the Dutch king William of Orange, the city today attracts tourists searching for duty-free bargains and strolling around the beautiful streets.

Day 6- Willemstad

Take in the charming Dutch colonial architecture along the Willemstad harbor in this historic town that has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the aquamarine waters of Curacao’s numerous beaches and dive along the stunning coral reefs and hidden caverns. Hike the trails or join a safari through Christoffel National Park to observe the rare flora and fauna.

Day 7- Day at Sea

Day 8- Kingstown

Known as the “City of Arches,” this town is filled with old world charm and accented with rich, rolling green hills. Kingstown’s cenotaph is a beautiful monument atop a granite pedestal that honors soldiers who died in the first and second world wars. Built in 1820, St. George’s Cathedral houses exquisite galleries, and the city’s botanical garden is the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.

Day 9- Bridgetown, Barbados

Discover the many beautiful aspects of this island, from its rugged Atlantic coastline to its beautiful Great Houses, cane fields, exquisite gardens and glorious beaches. See the island’s spectacular underwater treasures on your own snorkeling expedition.

Day 10- Castries, St. Lucia

Explore this lush, beautiful island and its bustling capital. Visit the historic La Toc Battery, see banana plantations, and watch silk screening at Bagshaws. Venture south to Soufriere at the base of the Piton peaks and see the unique gingerbread architecture of the marketplace. Take a bike ride through the rain forest to a lovely waterfall, kayak in the deep blue Caribbean, snorkel or dive to spectacular reefs.

Day 11- Basseterre

Day 12- San Juan

Begin in Old San Juan, a walled enclave of hundreds of restored 16th and 17th century Spanish colonial buildings. Notice the blue-tinged cobblestone streets; they were once ballast on Spanish ships. Elsewhere, tour the medieval Saint John the Baptist Cathedral, the Museum of Art, and Casa del Libro, a repository of priceless documents.

Day 13- Puerto Plata

Christopher Columbus dubbed the peak overlooking the town Monte de Plata due to the silvery hue of its cloud cover, but the region is actually best known for its abundant amber deposits. View ancient fossils and insects encased for millions of years in this translucent, hardened sap at the Amber Museum, stroll among vividly painted Victorian mansions and then take a cable car to the 2,600-foot summit of Pico Isabel de Torres for glorious views of the entire Amber Coast. At the superbly preserved 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe, look out to sea and imagine an onslaught of pirates eager to plunder the town’s treasures. Fortunately, today you need not cannonade Puerto Plata from a frigate to access its myriad attractions.
