Oceania Insignia Drydock and Refurbishment

[californiacruiseluvrs]

I will be sailing on the Oceania Insignia later this year. My wife and I are Riviera fans and looking forward to trying the smaller and more intimate Insignia after its refurbishment.

 

Does anybody have any links with photos to the Insignia's CURRENT drydock which I believe is happening in France?

 

From the press releases the three "R" Class ships that Oceania is renovating should be quite impressive and mirror many of the great features of the "O" Class (Riviera/Marina) ships.

 

We were on the maiden season of the Azamara Journey and I remember being quite impressed other than small cabins.

 

Any links would be greatly appreciated. I have not been able to find any so far.

When will the refurbishment be and do you know what it will involve? We are seriously considering an Insignia cruise in October also, and so are very interested in this information.

 

Thanks!

Thanks. I also googled an article and found that in addition to the Baristas addition and some spa updates, the penthouse and upper suites will be redecorated.

Waves Grill has always been there

Maybe you are thinking of the new grill station in the Terrace restaurant like on the O class ships

Lyn, yes, that is exactly what I was thinking of.

Just decided to do a Google search to see if anybody posted any photos or videos or the Insignia (beyond the initial coming out photos) and can't find any. If anybody else has found some I would be most gracious for a link. Just curious.

There is a 'live from the Regatta' with some photos, which was just started. Not too much yet, though.
