Overview

From top to bottom of Oceania Insignia, every lavish suite has been transformed to reiterate the luxury of Oceania Cruises. Once guests have settled into their incomparable accommodations, the pastel blues and greens palette of the public spaces inspires relaxation and rejuvenation, while the exquisite chandeliers in the reception area remind guests that they are cruising with the best on Oceania Insignia. “The Finest Cuisine at Sea,” an adage defining the cuisine onboard, is epitomized in the unique dining venues, including the iconic Red Ginger and Polo Grill.

I loved the small ship ability to meet and get to know a large number of people from many countries and walks of life. As a solo traveler, I appreciated solo room accommodations. As a solo traveler, I appreciated efforts by the ship’s crew to provide solo social meet and greet experiences. The crew was so wonderful to meet needs to the best of their ability. The dining experiences were wonderful, the food was excellent and the waitstaff was top-notch. Room stewards were efficient and accommodating of every request. I met many passengers who only would travel Oceania and would only travel a small ship like Insignia or her small Oceania sister ships. Happy repeat customers speak volumes! I would love to sail on Insignia again.

Pros: Excellent service; small ship comforts; access to a larger number of ports

Cons: Internet accessibility sometimes poor

Oceania's written policy of no open-toed sandals to be worn in the dining room and gourmet restaurants should either be enforced or eliminated. It was unfortunate that we were in 2 ports when shops were mostly closed on a Sunday and on Christmas Day but we still enjoyed walking around the dock areas where there were busy venders.

Pros: Great restaurants, Friendly crew, Beautiful Cabins & Smooth sailing

Cons: None

It was an amazing experience aboard the Oceania Insignia. The crew was awesome. Cruise Director Carson Turner was fantastic and the variety of entertainment brought onboard was superb. The Insignia Entertainment team did a great job on stage as well as coordinating activities daily like min-golf, shuffle board, ping pong, bean bag toss, etc. The food with Oceania was delicious during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The specialty dinner options were outstanding. Toscano and Polo Grill. You will not leave hungry. The wait staff poolside were very good in checking on if you needed a drink but not overly pushy like I have seen on other cruise lines. Overall a fantastic experience and great product where guests seem to be loyal to.

Pros: Delicious Food and presentations / Entertainment

Cons: The shower and bathroom in many of the categories was very small. Many men I talked with said they had to go and shower in the showers adjacent to the workout room. Also complaints about there not being a big selection to choose from on TV. (sports specifically).

The ship is beautiful and the perfect small ship! The food was outstanding and I especially appreciated the way they ran the buffets. They served you from the buffet instead of allowing people to reach into it and provided a great clean environment. The service was impeccable. The ports were perfect and all excursions were conducted very nicely.

Pros: Food was outstanding. Staff was spectacular.

Cons: Cabin was by 3 crew opperational rooms and was VERY noisy.

We love Oceania Cruiseline. The cruises are always filled with special lectures, music, games, dances and fitness classes. We are never disappointed! I did suggest they have a daily line-dance class held in the morning or early afternoon. Most of the dance opportunities are late at night

Pros: Unfailingly gracious and courteous staff....everyone! Wonderful dining venues.

Cons: Can't think of any
