Hiroshima

Welcome to Oceania Cruises,

Throughout Oceania Cruises’ history, our loyal guests have travelled with us to extraordinary corners of the globe. Our guests’ continued penchant for faraway travels inspired us to offer our first voyage circumnavigating the world, set to depart January 2015. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response, this cruise is nearly sold out, and we are pleased to now unveil our new Around the World in 180 Days – 2016 departing 4 January 2016 from Miami.

Since a world cruise embodies mankind’s ultimate passion for exotic travel, diversity and discovery, the voyage should 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. But if you’re going to journey around the world, travel like a true explorer – deeply and deliberately. As with our first world cruise, I dreamed of a fantasy voyage, inspired by the places that make this world we live in so fascinating, rather than by the constraints of time. It’s not a race; it’s a journey!

With that same philosophy shaping Around the World in 180 Days – 2016, 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. Come aboard Insignia and experience Your World. Your Way.®

Sincerely,

Frank Del Rio Chairman and CEO

“LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY T H E N U M B E R O F B R E AT H S W E TA K E , BUT BY THE MOMENTS T H A T T A K E O U R B R E A T H A W A Y. ” – Hillary Cooper

S AVO U R EVERY MOMENT

WELCOME ONBOARD There is no better way to explore your world than with Oceania Cruises, where you will feel instantly welcomed by the casually elegant atmosphere, inviting spaces and dedicated staff.

As you travel from one marvellous destination to the next, you will dine on the finest cuisine at sea in any of our four open-seating 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, enjoy an illy® espresso in Baristas coffee bar or sip a cocktail poolside. The Canyon Ranch SpaClub® 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 locales like the Panama Canal, the fjords of New Zealand and the astounding limestone islands of Ha Long Bay.

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 onboard the ship. Inspired by the legendary Master Chef Jacques PĂŠpin, our Executive Culinary Director, the talented chefs onboard 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.

ENRICH, ENLIGHTEN AND ENERGISE

E N T E R TA I N M E N T While the magnificent worldwide destinations are certainly the star attraction on this grand voyage, you will enjoy an abundance of entertaining activities onboard the ship as well, 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 onboard to help celebrate the pure joys of cruising. Enjoy a bridge tournament conducted by a master of the game, listen to a talented pianist interpret a classic concerto, create a masterpiece in the Artist Loft or learn the secrets of regional cuisine from a local chef. On days when you wish to simply relax, the luxurious Canyon Ranch SpaClub速, the plush English-style library or a Balinese day bed poolside offer the perfect retreat in which to savour every moment of this wonderful journey.

Honolulu

W O R L D T R AV E L L E R ’ S V O Y A G E Oceania Cruises takes great pleasure in bringing you one of travel’s most time-honoured traditions: circumnavigating the globe by sea. From exploring off-the-beaten-path locations, to visiting the world’s most iconic sites, to delving deep into the richness of diverse cultures, the reasons for embarking on such a voyage are as numerous as the treasures you will uncover.

A journey as momentous as this merits ample time to travel more deeply and thoroughly appreciate each hand-selected destination.

During our 180-day voyage, you will have the luxury of leisurely soaking up each destination’s distinctive milieu, and time to unwind in the comfort of the luxurious amenities onboard. Travel in elegance and style, indulge in exquisite cuisine, and enjoy the fact that it all comes at the extraordinary value for which Oceania Cruises is so renowned.

EXCLUSIVE SHORESIDE EVENTS ROYAL MANDALAY 9 MARCH 2016 (Option One) Amarapura, the “immortal city,” is a former royal capital and home to Mahagandayon Monastery, one of the largest in Myanmar. Nearby you can cross U Bein’s famous footbridge, the longest teak bridge in the world. Mandalay, the last royal capital of the Myanmar Empire, was founded by King Mindon in 1859. Visit its most sacred shrine, the Mahamuni Pagoda, where gold leaf is applied regularly to the revered Mahamuni Buddha. The Kuthodaw Pagoda houses the world’s largest book, inscribed with the canon of Buddhist scripture. Climb holy Mandalay Hill for a serene view of the beautiful city below.

EXCLUSIVE TOUR & LUNCH AT THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA 6 APRIL 2016 One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Wall of China is over 2,000 years old and 8,850 kilometres long, beginning at the Yellow Sea, crossing five provinces and ending at the Gobi Desert. Surrounded by lush greenery, enjoy a delicious lunch in an exclusive venue at the foot of an unrestored section of the wall. After lunch explore the Great Wall of Badaling, the first section of the wall opened to tourists after being restored in 1957.

ROYAL BALINESE TEMPLE FEAST

Hilo

26 APRIL 2016

ANCIENT TEMPLES OF BAGAN 9 MARCH 2016 (Option Two) Originally founded in 849 AD, Bagan became the first capital of a unified Myanmar Empire under the reign of King Anawrahta. Home to more than 2,000 religious shrines, it is one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia and one of the architectural wonders of the world. You will be awed by the details of each monumental masterpiece. Visit the Ananda Temple, the Gubyaukgyi Temple and the Dhammayangyi Temple, the most massive in Bagan.

Imagine the soft golden rays of the setting sun illuminating a glorious Balinese temple dating back to 1634. The entrance is lined with royal torches and a traditional gamelan orchestra plays just for you. Adorned in traditional costumes, the villagers of Mengwi lead you to a Balinese feast and cultural experience at the Taman Ayun Temple.

Dine on Indonesian fare as you are presented with a mesmerizing dance and musical performance featuring a haunting kecak chant and fire dance as well as the magical footwork and gestures of the legong dance. During this extraordinary evening, you will be treated like Balinese royalty.

Above: Rainbow Falls Rainbow Falls is a tropical rainforest wonder found in Hawaii State Park. The Falls derives its name from the fact that, on sunny mornings, rainbows can be seen in the mist thrown up by the waterfall.

Best views come just after a heavy rain storm so the falls are running strong. The Wailuku River rushes into a large pool below the falls as the gorge is blanketed by lush, dense tropical foliage.

HANOI EXPERIENCE 25 MARCH 2016 Immerse yourself in the culture, history and beauty of Hanoi and its surrounding areas. In addition to visiting many of Hanoi’s important cultural landmarks, such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, Museum of Ethnology and Old Quarter, you will also be entertained by a water puppet show, a unique Vietnamese art form created in the 11th century to amuse the kings. Visit Hoa Lo Prison, which was used to hold American soldiers during the Vietnam War, including Senator John McCain. Then enjoy ample opportunity to explore the countryside and the city’s colourful side streets, getting a glimpse of everyday life.

1940s PATRIOTIC EVENING ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP MISSOURI 7 JUNE 2016 Located on historic Battleship Row in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a mere ship-length away from the USS Arizona Memorial, the USS Missouri is best known as the site of the end of World War II. Often referred to as “Mighty Mo,” the decks of this battleship were where General Douglas MacArthur accepted the official surrender of Japan in September 1945. As the sun sets behind the Waianae mountain range, tour this hallowed vessel and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and patriotic performances of tunes from the 1940s.
