Welcome to Oceania Cruises,
Throughout Oceania Cruises’ history, our loyal
guests have traveled with us to extraordinary
corners of the globe. Our guests’ continued
penchant for faraway travels inspired us to
offer our first voyage circumnavigating the
world, set to depart January 2015. Due to an overwhelmingly positive
response, this cruise is nearly sold out, and we are pleased to now
unveil our new Around the World in 180 Days – 2016 departing
4 January 2016 from Miami.
Since a world cruise embodies mankind’s ultimate passion for exotic
travel, diversity and discovery, the voyage should be anything but
rushed or ordinary. Many cruise lines offer typical world cruises
lasting about 100 days, racing across the seas and overlooking many
captivating ports. But if you’re going to journey around the world,
travel like a true explorer – deeply and deliberately. As with our first
world cruise, I dreamed of a fantasy voyage, inspired by the places
that make this world we live in so fascinating, rather than by the
constraints of time. It’s not a race; it’s a journey!
With that same philosophy shaping Around the World in 180 Days – 2016,
we invite you to embrace an experience that is truly more than a
cruise – an authentic voyage and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to really treasure the best your world has to offer. Come aboard
Insignia and experience Your World. Your Way.®
Sincerely,
Frank Del Rio
Chairman and CEO

Sailing around the globe offers the chance to sample some of the
finest cuisine in the world at the very best shoreside restaurants.
Sailing around the globe with Oceania Cruises means you will
enjoy equally exquisite cuisine onboard the ship. Inspired by the
legendary Master Chef Jacques Pépin, our Executive Culinary Director,
the talented chefs onboard Insignia create culinary masterpieces.
From Continental classics in the Grand Dining Room to authentic
Italian cuisine in Toscana to perfectly prepared steaks and seafood in
Polo Grill, the options are nearly endless. Of course, a voyage of
this scale must take full advantage of the opportunity to explore
world cuisines, so special events will highlight authentic local fare.
Enjoy the buffet in Terrace Café featuring delicious Thai specialties
while cruising the Gulf of Thailand, or a deck party which takes on
a Polynesian flair as you sail the South Pacific. Regardless of the
region, an array of culinary delights awaits you.

the fascinating ports of call you will visit, so you can experience each

The entrance is lined with royal torches and a traditional gamelan orchestra plays just for you. Adorned in traditional costumes, the villagers of Mengwi lead you to a Balinese feast and cultural experience at the Taman Ayun Temple.

1940s PATRIOTIC EVENING ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP MISSOURI 7 JUNE 2016
Located on historic Battleship Row in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a mere ship-length away from the USS Arizona Memorial, the USS Missouri is best known as the site of the end of World War II. Often referred to as “Mighty Mo,” the decks of this battleship were where General Douglas MacArthur accepted the official surrender of Japan in September 1945. As the sun sets behind the Waianae mountain range, tour this hallowed vessel and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and patriotic performances of tunes from the 1940s.
Above: Rainbow Falls
Rainbow Falls is a tropical rainforest wonder found
in Hawaii State Park. The Falls derives its name
from the fact that, on sunny mornings, rainbows
can be seen in the mist thrown up by the waterfall.
Best views come just after a heavy rain storm so
the falls are running strong. The Wailuku River
rushes into a large pool below the falls as the
gorge is blanketed by lush, dense tropical foliage.

Traditional Balinese dancer
Right: Traditional Balinese dancer
Balinese dance is a tradition that roots itself in the
religious and artistic expression of the Balinese
people. Dancers express a story through gestures of
the entire body as well as subtle finger, hand, head
and eye movements. Most dances are connected
to Hindu rituals, although not all are religious as
there is also a welcoming dance that is social for
entertainment purposes.
