CRUISE SHIP PHOTO/VIDEO FEATURE
INSIGNIA IN ANTIGUA |
|
|
Oceania's Insignia is making a port call in St. John's the capital of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda.
She is no stranger to the Caribbean but her itineraries take her far and wide. In other words, she is not a ship that just does the same Caribbean itinerary each week. This is only to be expected. Cruisers who frequent ships in the luxury segment of the cruise industry like variety. Insignia's relatively small size allows her to visit the popular ports such as Antigua but also the more out-of-the-way ports that bigger ships cannot get into. |

Insignia was originally one of the eight nearly identical "R ships" built for Renaissance Cruises. Indeed, Insignia was R One. When Renaissance went out of business, the sisters were scattered across several different cruise lines. Now they have settled with four R ships sailing for Oceania, three for Azamara Club Cruises and one (Pacific Princess) with Princess Cruises.
The R ships were so well-designed that while they have been refurbished over the years, the eight ships are still quite similar. They are still quite popular.
With Insignia in port today is Anthem of the Seas (above) and the sailing cruise ship Wind Surf (right).
