Oceania Cruises features two intimate and luxurious 684 passenger ships, Regatta and Insignia. Nearly 70% of our staterooms feature a private veranda and 90% have ocean views. You will enjoy the intimacy, camaraderie and unrivaled personal service that only a ship of this size provides, without foregoing all the comforts and amenities you expect in a much larger ship. Rich, warm mahogany decor, soft carpeting and a grand, sweeping staircase are sophisticated touches from the days of classic cruising.

The onboard atmosphere of the Oceania Insignia is relaxed and reminiscent of the casual elegance of a private country club. Tuxedos and gowns are never required and you may dine when, where and with whom you choose and enjoy the flexibility that comes from four open seating restaurants.

For its 30,200-ton size, the ships of Oceania offer a surprising array of features and facilities. But what they don’t offer are kids-dedicated programs or facilities. Although Oceania cruises welcomes families traveling with children, the line doesn’t promote itself as a “fun-for-the-whole-family” company.

Depending on staffing abilities and a cruise’s particular passenger complement, shipboard personnel will often arrange a limited number of activities for young children. But parents, grandparents and guardians should be advised that Oceania does not specifically cater to families with children.

The Casino is small but richly appointed. Despite its size it still manages to include a roulette wheel, blackjack tables, poker tables and several banks of slot machines. And it also includes one of the ship’s “hot spots” – Martini’s. This handsome, wood-paneled bar serves up Martinis as you like them. Located midway between the Grand Dining Room and The Lounge, Martini’s makes for a great meet-and-connect place.
Dining Information

The Oceania Spa is your body’s one-stop shopping center. The “anchor” stores are the Fitness Room and the Styling Salon. The Fitness Room offers the usual mix of resistance devices: machines and free weights; aerobic equipment: treadmills, step and stationary bikes. It also offers a spectacular view out to sea. The Styling Salon takes thorough care of your hair and nails – and, like the Fitness Room, gives you front row seats on the ocean.

The heated Pool is flanked by two Hot Tubs – a third hot tub is located within the Health Spa. The top-most deck, Deck Eleven, offers the luxury and personal sanctuary of private cabanas. Lacking aboard the Oceania ships is a wrap-around Promenade Deck, a guest-pleasing feature that would especially appeal to early morning strollers and joggers

The two Deck 5 outdoor promenades are, in fact, quite small, extending only half the ship’s length on port and starboard sides. (Joggers have a small, but dedicated jogging track on Deck 10.) There are no self-service launderettes aboard Oceania ships – a feature found on smaller, competitive, luxury-level vessels. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are provided onboard.

Gratuities Note: Oceania understands that tipping is a personal matter. Although a daily $10.50 per guest gratuity fee ($13.50 for guests occupying suites) is automatically added to each guest’s shipboard account, further adjustments – up or down – may be made at the guest’s discretion.
