Accommodations
Though more intimate than her larger fleetmates, Insignia offers a wide choice of staterooms and suites, all thoughtfully designed to maximise comfort and style. The Inside Staterooms are cleverly laid out, with queen-size Prestige Tranquillity Beds, marble-clad bathrooms and all the thoughtful touches Oceania Cruises is known for. For solo travellers, the Solo Oceanview Staterooms provide the same comforts in a private space designed for one.
Oceanview and Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms add natural light through large picture windows, with the deluxe option offering even more space to relax. The Veranda Staterooms open out onto private teak balconies, perfect for coffee at sunrise or watching the world go by. Guests in Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms enjoy those same features plus access to the Concierge Lounge, priority dining and shore excursion reservations, a welcome bottle of champagne and even free laundry service, giving the holiday a more exclusive feel.
Moving up, the Penthouse Suites offer expansive living areas, walk-in wardrobes and marble bathrooms with a full-sized bathtub and separate shower, complemented by the personalised attention of a dedicated butler. The Vista Suites enjoy commanding forward-facing views and separate bedroom and living spaces, while the palatial Owner’s Suites span the full beam of the ship, featuring Ralph Lauren Home furnishings, grand pianos, dining areas and enormous teak verandas - true homes at sea.
Activities
Life onboard Insignia balances sociable spaces with quiet corners. On Deck 5, the Boutiques tempt with designer fashion, jewellery and gifts, while up on Deck 9, the open-air Patio provides a relaxed spot for drinks and light bites by day, and a charming al fresco dining space by night. The same deck is home to the Band Stand, a lively setting for musical performances, as well as the Card Room, a favourite gathering place for a bridge game or a puzzle.
Book lovers will adore the Library on Deck 10, with its floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, cosy armchairs and quiet, club-like atmosphere. Outdoors, traditional cruise pastimes are alive and well: head to Deck 11 for a friendly game of shuffleboard or practise your short game on the golf putting greens, all with the sea breeze as your backdrop.
Entertainment
Evenings on Insignia are elegant and low-key, perfect for the ship’s intimate size.
The Casino on Deck 5 offers blackjack, roulette and slot machines in a refined setting, while the Oceania@Sea internet centre on Deck 9 provides modern connectivity for those who want to stay in touch, or simply upload their favourite photos from the day’s adventures.
The ship’s lounges host live music, from classical string quartets to lively bands, ensuring there’s always something to suit your mood.
Food & Drink
Dining is at the very heart of Oceania Cruises, and Insignia is no exception.
The Grand Dining Room on Deck 5 offers an ever-changing menu of international favourites and destination-inspired dishes in a setting of timeless elegance. For something more casual, the Terrace Café on Deck 9 serves buffet-style meals with plenty of open-air seating, while the Waves Grill, also on Deck 9, is the place for burgers, sandwiches and made-to-order grilled specialities.
Gourmet lovers will be drawn to the speciality restaurants on Deck 10. Toscana celebrates the flavours of Italy with handmade pastas and family recipes, while Polo Grill delivers a classic American steakhouse experience with prime cuts of beef and fresh seafood.
Bars and lounges across the ship cater to every mood.
On Deck 5, Baristas serves speciality Illy coffees alongside pastries, while the adjoining Grand Bar is an elegant spot for a pre-dinner drink. Martinis offers a sophisticated setting for cocktails, and the Insignia Lounge provides entertainment and socialising late into the evening. Out on Deck 9, the Waves Bar keeps poolside guests refreshed, while the Terrace Bar is a relaxed venue to enjoy a sundowner. The Horizons Lounge on Deck 10 is the crown of Insignia, a panoramic observation lounge by day that transforms into a lively venue for dancing and live music after dark.
Relaxation & Fitness
Wellness is woven into life on board Insignia, with facilities that encourage both activity and relaxation. The Pool on Deck 9 is the centrepiece of the ship, surrounded by teak decking and comfortable loungers, with two inviting hot tubs nearby. For something more secluded, a third hot tub can be found in the spa.
Also on Deck 9, the Canyon Ranch SpaClub offers an extensive menu of treatments, from massages and facials to body therapies, alongside a Styling Salon and a steam room for complete rejuvenation. The Spa Terrace, reserved for suite and Concierge Level guests, is an open-air haven with whirlpools and cushioned loungers.
Fitness enthusiasts are well served, too. The Fitness Center features the latest equipment for cardio and strength training, as well as classes in yoga, Pilates and aerobics. For fresh-air exercise, the Fitness Track on Deck 10 encircles the ship, offering the perfect setting for a morning jog or evening stroll against a backdrop of endless sea views.
