Oceania Insignia

Insignia's main pool sits at the heart of the ship, with two hot tubs, a shallow area to sit and cool off, and day beds and loungers in both sun and shade. The pool bar keeps drinks coming. Waves Grill takes the pool grill to the next level, with Wagyu and surf and turf burgers, Cubans and Reubens, seafood, a salad bar, fresh juices, milkshakes and gelato. Order, grab a seat and they bring it to you.

The Terrace Café is Insignia's casual buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a full coffee bar and a full bar. A pizza station turns out fresh pies every day and becomes a made-to-order egg station in the morning. The menu rotates daily, with carved meats, seafood, pasta made to order and the falafel power bowl, plus sandwiches, salads and a dessert bar with ice cream, gelato and sorbet.

One level above the pool, a walking track loops all the way around the ship, a good place for a sunrise walk, some yoga or a stroll after dinner. All the way forward on the sun deck, loungers share space with classic outdoor games, including shuffleboard, cornhole and a putting green. Insignia and the Oceania fleet visit some of the best golf destinations in the world, so golfers can keep their game sharp between ports.

Perched all the way forward at the top of the ship like a crown, Horizons is a true observation lounge, with floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around for views off the bow and sides. A full bar sits at the back, and a bandstand and dance floor in the middle bring live music. Horizons also works well for group gatherings, and the Artist Loft tucked in the corner offers art classes and activities.

Insignia has a traditional library with real books, a curated collection plus a book exchange, with shelves wrapping around the room, comfy seating and a faux fireplace. Daily sudoku and games sit around the corner. Nearby, the card room is busy on longer cruises, with a sign-up sheet for games, plenty of board games and a communal puzzle almost always in progress. Oceania@Sea next door offers computers and help with the included Starlink internet.

Polo Grill is the original Oceania specialty restaurant, a classic over-the-top steakhouse that will feel familiar to anyone who loves a steakhouse on land. The menu is extensive, with a wide variety of steaks, seafood, appetizers, soups and salads, and there is a full bar inside the restaurant plus an extensive wine list. Like all of Oceania's specialty restaurants, it is included in the fare, with reservation priority based on category.

Toscana is Insignia's specialty Italian restaurant, included in the fare like Polo Grill, with reservation priority based on the category booked. Expect antipasti, handmade pastas and main courses that include steaks and seafood, served in an elegant, intimate room. With a menu this broad, many guests plan more than one visit on longer sailings, and Harr Travel advisors can help pre-book reservations as soon as a category's booking window opens.

The Grand Dining Room serves plated, take-your-time à la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, and it also hosts brunch and special holiday dinners that lean into the season. Just outside, the grand staircase shows off the elegant beauty of this class of ship and makes a natural photo spot. Below it, the reception desk, executive concierge and destination services desk sit in a spacious lobby where guests gather before heading ashore.
