Insignia

The Story

Insignia stands as one of Oceania Cruises' beloved R-class ships, offering an intimate ocean cruising experience that blends destination-focused itineraries with refined onboard elegance. This mid-sized vessel creates the perfect balance between the amenities of a larger ship and the personalized service of a boutique experience.

The ship accommodates around 684 guests, creating an atmosphere where you can genuinely get to know fellow passengers while exploring the world's oceans. Insignia is known for Oceania's signature culinary excellence, featuring multiple specialty dining venues that rival shoreside restaurants. The ship's smaller size allows access to ports that larger vessels simply cannot reach, opening up unique ocean destinations across the globe. From extended world voyages to regional explorations, Insignia travels to diverse corners of the world, spending more time in port so you can truly immerse yourself in each destination.

Insignia appeals to experienced ocean cruisers who appreciate destination immersion over onboard spectacle, couples seeking a sophisticated atmosphere, and travelers who value culinary experiences as much as the ports themselves. The ship's country club casual ambiance attracts guests who prefer enrichment lectures and destination-focused activities to flashy entertainment. Whether you're considering your first Oceania voyage or you're a repeat guest, connecting with other Insignia passengers on CruiseHuddle helps you discover insider tips about the ship's best features and what to expect from your sailing.

What Oceania Cruises actually costs

These rates apply fleetwide across Oceania Cruises.

Gratuities are included in the fare

Unlike most mainstream lines, Oceania Cruises folds crew gratuities into the ticket price — so a fare that looks expensive next to a budget line may not be.

Eliminated the automatic gratuity in 2025; crew gratuities are now included in the base fare.
