Insignia: Toast new friends & farflung ports aboard Oceania’s elegant vessel

Dining

The Grand Dining Room

Topped with a dramatic, domed ceiling that is adorned with a hand-painted fresco, the Grand Dining Room is reminiscent of a classic European restaurant. The tuxedo-clad wait staff serves six courses of American-inspired Continental cuisine atop elegantly appointed tables set with Villeroy & Boch China and European crystal. To complement your dining experience, soothing melodies from a classical string quartet or concert pianist tempt you to take a spin around the dance floor.

Polo Grill

The finest cuts of dry-aged prime beef, chops and fresh seafood are the signature items of Polo Grill. Seating just 96 guests, this classic steakhouse features floor-to-ceiling windows affording views of passing seascapes and is warmly decorated with dark woods and elegant furnishings.

Toscana

Enjoy the romantic, whimsical ambiance of this intimate, 90-seat restaurant that captures the  essence of Italy's Tuscany. Nearly every table is adjacent to floor-to-ceiling windows for soaring views of sea and sky.

Terrace Cafe

It's hard to resist the sumptuous, ever-changing breakfast and lunch buffets in this light-filled, informal buffet restaurant. You may dine indoors or outdoors since the Terrace Cafe opens onto both the teak-lined pool deck or aft onto the Terrace.

Each evening, the al fresco dining area of the Terrace Cafe becomes Tapas on the Terrace with a sumptuous buffet. Here, you will enjoy dining under the stars, specialty cocktails and a menu of authentic tapas, paellas and other flavorful regional specialties from Spain and the surrounding Mediterranean. The buffet allows guests a bountiful selection of traditional favorites including carefully prepared entrees, salads, soups and a carvery, as well as desserts to finish.
