“This is one of the most intriguing and all-encompassing world explorations available,” says Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises. “Guests will experience a truly unique combination of destinations that includes the South Pacific, Asia, India, and even the British Isles. I think guests will be most delighted by the 12-day, nine-po45 immersion into Japan as well as the lesser-known cultural jewels of western Africa.”

The journey will begin in Los Angeles on January 6, 2022. From there, the Insignia will sail across the Pacific Ocean to the unforgettable islands of Hawaii, followed by French Polynesia and Fiji. And while those jaw-droppingly scenic locations would be enough to thrill any cruiser, this is only the beginning of the voyage.

From there, lucky passengers will continue on to see the rugged coasts of New Zealand, the spiritual haven of Bali, and the new and old worlds represented by Hong Kong, Shanghai and Yangoon. Passengers will visit African game reserves, the vineyards, volcanic landscapes and the canals of Amsterdam.

And of course, at each stop there will be opportunities to delve into the local culture, including numerous overnight stays and optional land tours. Finally, your journey will end on July 5th, 2022, in New York City.

The ship itself was refurbished in 2018 and carries 684 guests whose needs are catered to by 400 crew members. The Insignia features four unique, open-seating restaurants, the Aquamar Spa and Vitality Center, eight bars and lounges, a casino and 342 staterooms, nearly 70% of which feature private verandas.
