Oceania Cruise Lines-Insignia

[tony procanik]

I am planning on going on the Integrity in May for a Mediterranean trip. I have never been on an Oceania criuse or, the Integrity. How is this line? the ship? and specifically, is this an enjoyable trip?( Barcelona to Venice) I am also concerned about the Med in May as relates to weather. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Tony,

the "Insignia" has not yet entered service with Oceania, hence there are no reviews, yet. The ship is currently in drydock where several million USD are spent on improving her.

I sailed on her Oceania sister ship "Regatta" last September, and it was a superb trip. Oceania's food is among the best at sea, and the ship is very comfortable.

Don't worry about the weather in the Mediterranean in May. I really prefer spring and fall over the hot summer months. Temperatures are often around 20-25°C.

Tom Ogg has a very comprehensive review of the "Regatta" posted here.

Also, my Dutch colleague Bart de Boer has a superb review with many pictures on his web site.

My own review will be published on the internet in March.

Best regards,
