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.

AROUND THE WORLD I N 1 8 0 DAY S MIAMI TO MIAMI INSIGNIA | 10TH JAN 2015

8 THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME As destination specialists, Oceania Cruises is committed to indulging the dreams of even the most seasoned and adventurous world travellers. Our guests’ penchant for travel is absolutely unfettered, and thus our collection of itineraries must include this true journey of a lifetime, a fantasy voyage designed to sail around the world. Many cruise lines offer typical “world cruises” that race across the seas in about 100 days, passing by many appealing ports along the way. But we believe that if you’re going to sail around the world, do it like a true navigator, a true explorer. It’s not a race; it’s a journey!

Departing Miami on 10th January 2015, the unprecedented Around the World in 180 Days cruise literally circumnavigates the globe, calling on South America, Africa, Asia, Australia

and more.
