Welcome to Oceania Cruises, Since our first voyage set sail in 2003, Oceania Cruises has been committed to destination-rich itineraries featuring the world’s most fascinating ports of call. We never stop dreaming of exciting new voyages, and in July of this year, we unveiled our first-ever cruise around the world, a 180-day journey onboard Insignia departing in January 2015. The overwhelming response to this epic voyage was further proof that our guests are not tourists, but travelers, and their desire to experience the world’s wonders never wanes. Thus, we are thrilled to announce that in July of 2015, Insignia will set sail from Miami on a new grand adventure, the 180-Day World Odyssey. At the height of summer, Insignia will sail north to Canada and New England and then to beautiful Greenland and Iceland. Insignia will visit some of the most alluring ports in the Mediterranean, linger overnight in magnificent cities such as Mumbai, Singapore and Hong Kong, and explore Africa from Kenya to Cape Town to the Ivory Coast. This remarkable journey concludes with a holiday season of island hopping in the azure waters of the Caribbean. We invite you to come aboard the elegant Insignia for this unforgettable voyage and experience the very best your world has to offer with Oceania Cruises. Sincerely,
Frank Del Rio Chairman and CEO

There is no better way to explore your world than on board an Oceania Cruises ship, where you feel instantly welcomed by the casually elegant atmosphere, inviting spaces and dedicated staff. As you travel from one marvelous destination to the next, you will dine on the finest cuisine at sea in any of our four openseating gourmet restaurants. Retire each evening to your richly appointed suite or stateroom and enjoy a host of complimentary amenities. Serene days at sea are filled with enriching entertainment, whether you prefer to lounge in the plush surroundings of the library, attend an enlightening culinary demonstration or sip a cocktail poolside. The Canyon Ranch SpaClubŽ offers not only signature massages but also healing therapies, fitness training and other revitalizing treatments to renew your mind, body and soul. Of course, one of the greatest joys of sailing is the spectacular view from Insignia’s decks as you cruise scenic vistas like the grand fjords of Greenland, the astounding limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and the Cape of Good Hope.

PLEASURES OF THE PALATE
CU IS INE 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 PĂŠpin, who is Executive Culinary Director for Oceania Cruises, the talented chefs aboard 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 fabulous local fare. Perhaps the buffet in Terrace CafĂŠ features delicious Thai specialties while cruising the Gulf of Thailand, or a deck party takes on a tropical flair as you sail the Caribbean Sea. Regardless of the region, an

array of culinary delights awaits you.
