Indulge Yourself
Welcome. It’s more than a warm greeting; it’s how you feel on our ships from the very moment you
step onboard. Perhaps, it’s their ideal proportions. After all, being mid-sized affords indulgences you
simply won’t find on larger vessels.
The striking sense of comfort instantly puts you at ease. The elegant, yet casual ambiance creates
a convivial mood that invites you to relax and experience the world from a unique vantage point.
A generous ratio of staff to guests fosters an astonishingly high level of personalized service.
Pleasures abound, always with you in mind.
Concierge
The moment you step onboard Regatta, Insignia or Nautica, you instantly realize this is no
ordinary cruise experience. Life is immeasurably different when it proceeds so smoothly, so
naturally. And while you may not expect such exquisite luxury to be affordable, it is remarkably
within your means. Everything you have envisioned in a cruise is here, and ready to be enjoyed
in the manner that best suits your desires.
Horizons Lounge
During the day with the curtains opened, natural light streams in,
lending the interior a light, airy feeling. Relax in the sitting area while
watching live news programs or first-run movies on your flat-screen
LCD television, or enjoy a DVD selected from the hundreds of titles
in our library. Entertain newly-made friends with champagne before
dinner. Watch a sunset on your furnished private veranda, a luxury in
all suites and 70% of our staterooms. When it’s time to retire, slip into
your trademark Tranquility BedSM, which is outfitted with lavish linens
atop a sumptuous pillow-top mattress to ensure a deep, restful sleep.

C reating The Finest Cuisine at sea
requ ires the grand est o f inspiration
All the ingredients for magnificence are present and our chefs carefully and thoughtfully prepare
each dish à la minute, just as you would expect in the finest of restaurants. Menus artfully reflect
the regions where our ships sail, enhancing the experience, adding authenticity and ensuring
tremendous variety. Diversity is our watchword, especially in our four distinctly different
gourmet restaurants; all at no additional charge.
Service is equally obliging, the happy consequence of there being a limited number of guests
onboard. It’s as if someone is always standing by solely for you, anticipating your requests and
catering to your every whim.

In homage to the opposing Chinese principles of yin and yang, this Asian voyage masterfully contrasts bold metropolises
with more intimate ports. Thailand’s laid-back Ko Samui, the “Coconut Island,” revolves around serene beach activities,
while the country’s capital of Bangkok is always abuzz and warrants an evening enjoying its nightlife. Oceania Cruises’
first foray into Cambodia highlights the joys of Sihanoukville, such as nearby Ream National Park, a lush setting for bird
watching. Then, the attention shifts to Vietnam for nearly a week. Spirited Ho Chi Minh City juxtaposes sobering sites
like the War Remnants Museum with an abundance of temples such as the Emperor Jade Pagoda. The dramatic, natural
scenery of Ha Long Bay precedes Hanoi, where you might spend the evening shopping in the Old Quarter for silk
goods. Canton is even more of a commercial powerhouse, known for extraordinary markets.

A voyage of firsts, this fabulous sailing quickly introduces two new destinations only offered on this itinerary –
Kaohsiung, where life centers on its meandering Love River, and the thriving metropolis of Manila. After exploring the
urban pleasures of this capital of the Philippines, including the gracious Malacañang Palace, take a welcome respite in the
medieval Spanish walled enclave of Intramuros. These once-a-season opportunities are followed by Nautica’s sole stops
in Kota Kinabalu in the midst of Borneo’s rain forests, environmentally pristine Brunei, and Nha Trang, known for its
traditional Vietnamese and classic French cuisines. This voyage also affords you two evenings in Ho Chi Minh City, an
exotic hub for excursions into the fertile Mekong Delta and beyond. Similarly, the overnight stay in convivial Bangkok
allows access to sites as diverse as the famed Floating Market and legendary silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson’s House.

Some cities were just meant to be explored in depth, and this voyage offers a wealth of opportunities, especially
during five enchanted evenings in port. Crisscrossed by canals, Bangkok is always abuzz with activity; so don’t
miss its wonderfully busy Floating Market and vibrant nightlife. For an unusual experience in Ho Chi Minh City,
join our tour of the intricate Cu Chi Tunnels, an underground maze that is both iconic and legendary. The
exquisite beauty of Ha Long Bay is mesmerizing, and Hanoi beautifully complements it with its broad boulevards
and French colonial architecture. For shopping, Hong Kong rules, and we offer an excursion entirely devoted to
retail pursuits. During the evening in Shanghai, you might watch a spellbinding performance by Chinese acrobats
or gaze out over the lighted city from the top of the glittering Jin Mao Building, the city’s 1,380-foot tall tower of

Nautica gracefully takes her time as she heads toward Dubai by calling on the Far East’s marquee destinations. With
an overnight in Hong Kong, you can confidently order a custom silk suit or dress and it will be ready by morning.
Similarly, an evening in Ho Chi Minh City leaves time for a detailed downtown tour and an excursion to the amazing,
labyrinthine Cu Chi Tunnels that were used in the Vietnam War. Thailand’s largest island of Phuket invites informal
pleasures such as beachcombing and dining on local specialties at a noodle stall. This season’s final stop in the new
port of Yangon, once known as Rangoon, is a two-night stay, so feel free to explore leisurely, especially in the iconic

the Kings and after transiting the Suez Canal, you spend two days in Israel, beginning with Ashdod, gateway to historic
and hallowed Jerusalem. For a great view of the Old City, follow the Ramparts Walk. Haifa delights with its landmark

It’s only natural that South America is a continent of contrasts, as it stretches
nearly the entire length of the Southern Hemisphere. The possibilities when
cruising here are exceptionally diverse, as well.
Still, it’s the haunting beauty of South America that draws so many travelers.
Cruise the Chilean Fjords, following a route much like Charles Darwin’s on the
H.M.S. Beagle in 1833, and you will be astounded by how little has changed.
Snow-mantled mountains, virgin forests and ancient glaciers still lord over the
primeval natural canvas. And it gets even more glorious as you enjoy the rare
opportunity to sail to Antarctica and view the pristine beauty of destinations such
as unspoiled Paradise Harbor. South America yearns to flaunt its beauty, and we

in Rio’s samba shows, chic Buzios, known as “Brazil’s St. Tropez,” and idyllic Ilha Grande, the entire island of which
is a state park with meandering walking trails where you may spot curious monkeys and exotic hummingbirds.
Two Brazilian ports – the beach-rich village of Porto Belo and cultured Rio Grande – feature a restful day at sea

22-Day Voyage
Port Stanley
A voyage of mesmerizing cities and unpopulated lands where nature reigns in all its glory, this is truly a sailing of
exploration. Bright lights and big cities capture the imagination initially, as you venture into enterprising São Paulo
and bountifully beautiful Buenos Aires, where you might tour the pink Presidential Palace or the colorful La Boca
neighborhood. Then Insignia eases south into the Falkland Islands, a remote British territory that is a sanctuary for
endangered wildlife. The landscape becomes even more stunning as you cruise past the unspoiled South Shetland Islands
and into starkly majestic Antarctica, a rare opportunity to gaze upon ancient glaciers and perhaps see Gentoo penguins.
Rounding the tip of South America, the equally gorgeous Chilean Fjords take center stage for two awe-inspiring days.
The beauty inland is easily accessible from destinations such as Puerto Montt in Chile’s southern Lake District.

Caribbean, Amazon
and Panama Canal
What better way to spend the winter season than by following the sun deep into
the tropics? Of course, not everyone longs to call on the same warm-weather
destinations, so Regatta sails throughout the sun-kissed Caribbean, including the
raw natural wonders of the Amazon River, along America’s colonial coastline to
Bermuda, through the Yucatan and transits the enthralling Panama Canal.
There is truly a voyage for every desire.
You might snorkel the fabled waters off Roatan, shop for French perfumes in
St. Barts, bicycle through a rainforest on lush St. Lucia, or simply wander about
Tortola with nothing on your mind other than enjoying the serenity. Colorful,
peaceful and immensely inviting, the Caribbean is a joy. So too are our lengthier
voyages into the Amazon with stops as compelling as tiny Boca Da Valeria and
notorious Devil’s Island. Regatta even roams a bit further afield this season and
visits a number of new ports, such as the architectural gem of Charleston, historic
Yorktown and intriguing Williamsburg, and Martinique’s effervescent Fort-de-France.
Wherever she sails, the sun will surely lead the way.

for its rugged mountains and tropical forest, which is crisscrossed with hiking paths. The lush farmland and verdant
forests of the Dominican Republic are strikingly pastoral, especially when seen on a Jeep Safari. Colonial Nassau, a

Your Butler a t yo u r s e r v i c e
While Butlers may be most closely associated with a bygone era, their fabled personal services are still held dear today. The
privileged few who occupy our suites may partake of our Butlers’ extravagant, discreet services any hour of the day. They have
been formally trained in the art of exceptional service by members of the Guild of Professional English Butlers, many of them
under the auspices of the legendary instructors who have groomed Butlers for royal families and famed industrialists.
Your wish is literally their command, as they will cheerfully assist in tasks such as planning a private cocktail party for you,
drawing your bath, or preparing you for a special evening out. Of course, asking isn’t always a prerequisite as our Butlers can
intuitively sense your needs long before you express them.
Owner's Su i t e a n d Vista Su i t e
Being our most spacious, luxurious accommodations, our six Owner’s Suites and four Vista Suites are among the first to be
reserved. It’s no surprise. Located in the premier corners on decks 6, 7 and 8, these suites range in size from 786 to nearly
1,000 square feet, with every inch designed for your enjoyment. Thoughtful amenities abound, ensuring a memorable voyage.
Ease into your own Jacuzzi with a cool drink from the refrigerated mini-bar. Watch first-run Hollywood films on the 42-inch
plasma flat-screen television, enhanced by Bose® surround sound, or view them from the comfort of your bed on a second
flat-screen television. Access the Internet with the laptop computer that’s provided for up-to-the-minute news, to research
upcoming ports, and to email friends. Wake up refreshed and rested on the queen-size Tranquility Bed. Draw back the curtains
from the two walls with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, walk out on the wraparound teak veranda and take in the stunning
panoramic views from the comfort of the resort-quality outdoor lounge furniture. Everything imaginable is here in your suite,
Owner's Suite even a second bathroom for guests.
Penthouse s u i t e
Our collection of elegant Penthouse Suites exclusively occupies deck 8 and rivals a world-class hotel for comfort.
The design of each suite is ingenious, which maximizes its 322 square feet of space and puts every creature comfort
at your fingertips. At its heart is a spectacularly luxurious queen-size Tranquility Bed that can be converted into two
twin beds, if you wish. Commodious enough for private en-suite dining, the living area features a refrigerated
mini-bar and vanity desk, and the marble and granite bathroom is large enough for an indulgent, full-size bathtub.
For the ultimate view, simply open the sliding glass door and relax on the exquisitely furnished private teak veranda.
