Kochi (Cochin) | Wednesday, Mar 12, 2025 | Wednesday, Mar 12, 2025 |
Kochi (Cochin) is the great, old Keralan spice city. It consists of mainland Ernakulam, islands of Willingdon, Bolgatty and Gundu in the harbor, Fort Cochin and Mattancheri on the southern peninsula and Vypeen Island north of Cochin. Because of the area’s dense tropical forests, extensive ridges and ravines, it has been sheltered from invaders and the rest of India. This encouraged Keralites to welcome maritime contact, and therefore influence from the outside world. In Cochin there is still a small community of descendants from Jewish settlers who fled Palestine 2,000 years ago. When the Portuguese arrived here some 500 years ago, they were surprised to find Christianity already established along this coast. People from far-off lands have been coming to Kerala since ancient times in search of spices, sandalwood and ivory. Such long contact with people from overseas has resulted in the blending of various cultures and has given Keralites a cosmopolitan outlook. | ||

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) | Sunday, Mar 30, 2025 | Sunday, Mar 30, 2025 |
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is often referred to as Vietnam’s jewel and the Pearl of the Orient. Located in south Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest city, with more than six million people and over one million motorbikes. Under the current regime the city is once more being rebuilt. Whole blocks are disappearing, being replaced by concrete, steel and glass structures. Central Saigon, which is still the official name for the city center, shows evidence of the French colonial city, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés and elegant French architecture. The city is divided into two sections: Saigon, the municipal and historical district, and Cholon (Chinatown), where the entrepreneurial talent and private funds are concentrated. Cholon appears to be the most populated and in general the most vigorous part of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well worth a visit for its bustle and activity and its pagodas, which are reputed to be the finest in the whole city. | ||

Raiatea | Sunday, Jun 15, 2025 | Sunday, Jun 15, 2025 |
Tahitians believe Raiatea to be the sacred birthplace of their gods and their religious and cultural beginnings. The most important and well-preserved religious site in all of Polynesia is here. It is from these shores that ancient Polynesian explorers are said to have ventured to the far off lands of Hawaii and New Zealand. Second only in size to the Island of Tahiti, Raiatea is today the trading center of the leeward islands. Raiatea is unique in that it has the only navigable river in Polynesia - the Faaroa. The rare, white gardenia called Tiare Apetahi only grows on the slopes of Mount Temehani and nowhere else on Earth! Mount Temehani is also the supposed birthplace of Oro, one principal god of Polynesia. There is a large, protected lagoon around Raiatea and its sister island Tahaa, which produces wonderful beaches and the perfect location for sailing, big game fishing, and diving. | ||

Puerto Quetzal | Thursday, Jul 10, 2025 | Thursday, Jul 10, 2025 |
Puerto Quetzal, on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, gives access to Guatemala City, the capital, beaches and some significant historical sites. Magnificent buildings of the colonial period remain at Antigua, the colonial capital, located near Guatemala City. Guatemala was the center of the old Mayan civilization, and many sites from the classic Mayan period (3rd-10th century AD) have been excavated and studied. The largest of these is Tikal in the northern lowlands, where some 3,000 structures, including tall temple pyramids as well as plazas and monuments, cover an area of about 6 sq miles. Thought to have sustained a population of 50,000 at its peak, it was abandoned for unknown reasons at the end of the 10th century. | ||
Puerto Corinto | Friday, Jul 11, 2025 | Friday, Jul 11, 2025 |
The port of Corinto port is considered one of the most important ports in Nicaragua because of the vast amounts of import and exports that travel through the port every day.

Puntarenas | Saturday, Jul 12, 2025 | Saturday, Jul 12, 2025 |
The Central Pacific's largest city, Puntarenas sits on a long, narrow peninsula in the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. For years, it was the country's principal port, and though Puntarenas handles big cruise ships, a large fishing fleet still anchors in the estuary behind town. Being the country's most important fishing port, Puntarenas is the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood. Though the water is murky, and the beach may seem a bit urban, it's a lively town on weekends, when people from San José fill its waterfront restaurants and bars. A series of open-air cafes that line the beach are the perfect place to head for dessert, or refreshments, since they specialize in ice cream and fresh fruit drinks. | ||

Panama Canal | Monday, Jul 14, 2025 | Monday, Jul 14, 2025 |
Linking the Atlantic to the Pacific, the Panama Canal provides one of cruising's most unforgettable experiences. Over 10 years were needed to complete the canal's 51 miles in 1914 - so avoiding the lengthy and often dangerous voyage around Cape Horn. 'The Big Ditch' lifts vessels by a fascinating feat of mechanics aided by on-shore 'mule' locomotives through three great locks, traversing man-made lakes, channels blasted through rock, and the dense jungle. Two other special highlights of the canal are Gatun Lake and the Gaillard cut. Gatun Lake is one of the world's largest man-made lakes covering 163 square miles. Gaillard Cut is an 8 mile channel built through solid rock which was the most difficult excavation in the canal construction. | ||

Cons: The Spa receptionist upon arrival for spa services were not very friendly or accommodating and the spa area itself lacked the necessary items usually seen in other cruise ships

Great restaurants, Friendly crew, Beautiful Cabins & Smooth sailing
Pros: Great restaurants, Friendly crew, Beautiful Cabins & Smooth sailing
Cons: None
Review: 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.
Delicious Food and presentations / Entertainment
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).

Pros: Food was outstanding. Staff was spectacular.
Cons: Cabin was by 3 crew opperational rooms and was VERY noisy.
Review: 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.
Updated, clean. Two specialty restaurants
Pros: Updated, clean. Two specialty restaurants

Review: Afternoon tea is nice, but hors d oeuvres at bar would be a great addition, especially if there were healthy selections. The sommeliers were terrific
Unfailingly gracious and courteous staff....everyone! Wonderful dining venues.
Pros: Unfailingly gracious and courteous staff....everyone! Wonderful dining venues.
Cons: Can't think of any
Review: 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
Polo Grill, Social Hostess
Pros: Polo Grill, Social Hostess

Pros: Food is excellent, staff is the best,small ship big experience
Cons: None
Review: We have been on over 50 cruises on numerous cruise lines. The experience is always exceptional in every way. The cruise line prides itself on cuisine and justifiably so. The food is delicious with a wide and changing selection. The specialty restaurants are complimentary. The crew is the best at sea, everyone one of them is friendly and could not be more accommodating. Entertainment is first rate with great variety using a very talented cast. Try it you won’t regret it!

Pros: Loved the service, excellent guest relations training of staff, food excellent, good choice of ports
Cons: In cabin TV terrible, movies shown were blurry and they should not show subtitles on such a small TV. even the movie shown in the lounge was poor quality. they need to update to HD tvs.
Review: Entertainment on first part of cruise Miami to Rekjavek was excellent. Rekjavek to Stockholm was poor. Too much dependence on cruise staff to entertain (some were marginally talented). The Insignia band was excellent but they need a screen around the drummer who drown out the singers (therefore necessitating the volume of their mics to be at screech level.
Excellant food, crew service great, Libray a real asset.
Pros: Excellant food, crew service great, Libray a real asset.
Cons: Room and bath very small, The weather did ot cooperate
Review: We had smooth sailing the crew and food service was probably the best ever, if you like to eat! The side trips were very good, and on an off the boat was very easy. The Library was excellent as was the Horizon Lounge. All in all it was a very relaxing trip. The entertainment was very good also. The port in Newfoundland was interest, and also Greenland and Iceland . It the weather would have been better, fog, rain etc. we could have enjoyed it more, however you cannot control the weather. The Fjords were great!
good room and food
Pros: good room and food
Cons: real bad enbarcation
Review: we waited 4 hours to get on board after flying all night. they did not even give us coffee and donuts.
Small ship, comfortable with very uncrowded feel. Docked in town centers as opposed to distant wharfs
Pros: Small ship, comfortable with very uncrowded feel. Docked in town centers as opposed to distant wharfs
Cons: Staterooms smaller than more recent, larger sisters
Review: Would go again although the ship is showing some age. Would depend upon port/ docking situations.
great food, clean, great service,
Pros: great food, clean, great service,
Cons: entertainment was fair
Review: being a world cruise the ship personnel claimed that it was difficult to bring entertainment aboard. normally they would do so. the food was great with lobster, huge shrimp and other offerings every evening. This cruise raised the standard for all future cruises. It was great being on a small ship with 343 cabins.
Hospitality and ammenities
Pros: Hospitality and ammenities
Cons: Room and bathroom size
Review: The staff of the Insignia was outstanding. The food was average. The itinerary was fun and interesting. However, after paying for concierge level accommodations, this was the smallest room we have ever had on ANY cruise. There wasn't room in the shower to turn around, let alone do anything else. There was no "Concierge Lounge" or any other such amenity. It should not have been advertised as, or charged as, a concierge level ship. I understand Oceania picked up this vessel from Regency and I think they should have passed. Usually Oceania has excellent food but this fare was routine. I didn't have a good steak the entire trip, and that included the Polo Room. I don't feel that we got our moneys worth this time.
So Many
Pros: So Many
Cons: There are none
Review: We loved our Oceania Cruise. We will surely recommend Oceania to our family and friends. Why, we are thinking of taking another Oceania cruise in the next few years. The price was so affordable for the service they rendered. The organization and efficiency with the handling of every aspect of our cruise was incredible. The entire staff treated us like we were so very special to them. We wanted to pack them all in our luggage and bring them home. The ship was immaculate through and through. The food was delicious and so many different food choices to behold. The entertainment and activities onboard were very organized and so many choices to suite just about anyone's interests. We have traveled with other cruise companies but we can say in all honesty Oceania will always be our first choice from now on.
