T H E F I N E S T C U I S I N E AT S E A ™ 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 on board the ship. Inspired by the legendary Master Chef Jacques Pépin, who is Executive Culinary Director for Oceania Cruises, the talented chefs on board Insignia create culinary masterpieces. From Continental classics at the Grand Dining Room to authentic Italian cuisine at Toscana to perfectly prepared steaks and seafood at 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 at Terrace Café featuring delicious Thai specialities 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.

LIFESTYLE While the impressive worldwide destinations are quite naturally the star attraction on this extraordinary voyage, you are certain to enjoy the rich and varied ambiance aboard Insignia, offering pleasures to suit every palate. You might lose yourself in deep relaxation with a heavenly massage or signature treatment at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub速. Or perhaps you will be inspired by the creative workshops at the Artist Loft. Meanwhile, the putting greens on the upper deck make for an ideal location to practice your swing and take in the gorgeous vistas. Gather together with friends for cocktails at Martinis or for teatime at Horizons. On days when you wish to simply relax, the plush library, the luxurious Canyon Ranch SpaClub, or a Balinese day bed poolside offer the perfect retreat in which to savour every moment of this wonderful journey.

Other special guests will be on board to help celebrate the pure joys of cruising.

Enjoy a bridge tournament conducted by a master of the game or join a lively trivia contest with friends. Listen to a talented pianist interpret a classic concerto or learn the secrets of regional cuisine from a local chef at a special culinary demonstration. Spend the evenings enjoying exclusive production shows and critically-acclaimed headline entertainers, watching a movie beneath the stars, socialising with friends, or dancing the night away at Horizons.
