Oceania Cruises has announced that it will be the only upscale cruise line to homeport in New York City, with more than 20 planned voyages beginning in 2017. Sailing from Manhattan’s convenient west-side cruise terminal at 48th street, the intimate and luxurious Insignia will offer an intriguing array of roundtrip voyages to New England, Canada, Bermuda, and even Greenland and Iceland.

“Insignia offers an acclaimed culinary experience that rivals the best restaurants ashore as well as an irresistible blend of culturally rich and fascinating destinations. Combined with her elegance, sophistication and luxurious Canyon Ranch Spa Club, Oceania Cruises’ Insignia is the perfect match for New York and New York is the perfect match for Oceania Cruises.” stated Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises.

As the pioneer of destination-focused cruising, the line has included an extraordinary roster of overnight port calls in New York City, NY; Charleston, South Carolina; Reykjavik, Iceland; St. George, Bermuda; and Hamilton, Bermuda. Each of the itineraries has been curated to offer unique opportunities for culinary, historical and cultural immersion, a hallmark of Oceania Cruises.
