INTIMATE AND LUXURIOUS SHIPS
In 2014, both Nautica and Insignia underwent a multi-million-dollar refurbishment to create virtually new ships that are sleek and elegantly charming. The decks are resplendent with the finest teak, custom stone and tile work, and the lounges, suites and staterooms boast luxurious, neo-classical furnishing.
Both ships offer four open-seating restaurants, world-class fitness centres and spas, lounges and bars, a casino, 342 lavish suites and luxurious staterooms. And with just 684 guests onboard, the 400 professionally-trained staff ensures all guests receive utmost attention and care.

With legendary Master Chef Jacques Pepin as the line’s executive culinary director, each restaurant offers guests extraordinary dining experiences. All dining, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, is inclusive and made a la minute. Gourmands can choose from authentic Italian dishes at Toscana, succulent seafood and USDA Prime steak at Polo Grill and continental cuisine in the Grand Dining Room.
