Dear World Traveller,

Throughout Oceania Cruises’ history, our loyal guests have travelled with us to extraordinary corners of the globe. It was our guests’ penchant for faraway travels that first inspired us to offer a voyage circumnavigating the world. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response to that initial journey and our subsequent world voyages, we are pleased to now unveil our latest masterpiece: Around the World in 180 Days - 2017, which features an exciting new itinerary departing 6 January 2017 from Miami.

Our magnificent new route follows the sun west, heading from the Caribbean and Pacific Riviera to the South Pacific, continuing on to explore the vast marvels throughout Asia and several favourites along the Mediterranean before crossing the high seas to New England and Canada. As a world cruise that embodies mankind’s ultimate passion for exotic travel and discovery, this voyage will be anything but rushed or ordinary. Many cruise lines offer typical “world cruises” lasting about 100 days, racing across the seas and overlooking many captivating ports. If you’re choosing to journey around the world, travel like a true explorer – deeply and deliberately. As with our very first world cruise, this voyage is inspired by the places that make this world we live in so fascinating, rather than by the constraints of time.

We invite you to embrace an experience that is truly more than a cruise – an authentic voyage, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really treasure the best your world has to offer. Join us aboard Insignia and let Oceania Cruises introduce you to Your World. Your Way.®

Sincerely,

Frank Del Rio, CEO

“ O N E ’ S D E S T I N AT I O N IS NEVER A PLACE, B U T A N E W WAY O F S E E I N G T H I N G S .”

You will feel immediately welcomed by the casually elegant atmosphere, richly appointed spaces and exceptional personalized service from our dedicated staff.

During serene days at sea, unwind amidst the many pleasures of the luxurious surroundings on board. Enjoy a wealth of amenities you might only expect on larger ships, along with luxuries exclusive to our mid-size vessels. The overwhelming sense of comfort and belonging seems to kindle a relaxed geniality. Mix and mingle with newfound friends that find world travel as meaningful as you do.

PLEASURES OF T H E PA L AT E

CUISINE 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 on board 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 authentic local fare.

Enjoy the buffet in Terrace CafĂŠ 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.

S AVO U R EVERY MOMENT

6

LIFESTYLE While the impressive worldwide destinations are quite naturally the star attraction on this grand 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 your inner artist will be inspired by the talented artists-in-residence at 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速, or a Balinese day bed poolside offer the perfect retreat in which to savour every moment of this wonderful journey.

ENRICH, ENLIGHTEN AND ENERGISE

E N T E R TA I N M E N T A wonderful spectrum of entertaining and enriching activities awaits you on board, many designed to further enhance your experiences ashore. A bevy of experts will share personal insights on the history, arts, culture and cuisine of the fascinating ports of call you will visit, so you can experience each to its fullest. 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, or perhaps watch a movie beneath the stars or dance the night away at Horizons.

WORLD CONNOISSEUR’S VOYAGE Oceania Cruises invites you to experience one of travel’s most time-honoured traditions: circumnavigating the globe by sea.

Embarking on an exciting new route in 2017, Insignia takes her cue from the sun and sails west, chasing balmy days and endless sapphire seas. Departing the Caribbean via the iconic Panama Canal, Insignia charts the legendary Pacific Riviera before bringing you to the golden shores of the Hawaiian Islands, dramatically framed by velvety green mountaintops. Further south, relax on stunning French Polynesian beaches and explore some of Australia and New Zealand’s most alluring destinations.

Arriving in Asia, immerse yourself in the rare spirit of Bali, the thronging night bazaars of Hong Kong, and the temples of Rangoon and Mumbai. Stroll among the opulent wonders of Abu Dhabi and the ancient treasures of Israel and Egypt before taking in the masterpieces and monuments of several classic Mediterranean destinations. After leisurely days on the high seas, close your epic voyage with a grand exploration of Canada and New England’s most charming harbours and celebrated cities.
