DAY	DATE	PORT OF CALL	ARRIVAL	DEPARTURE
1	Fri 16 Jul 2021	New York (Manhattan), USA	Embark	5:00 PM
New York’s port on the Hudson River in Manhattan is four blocks from Central Park. New York is situated on the Atlantic coast of NE United States. With its world-class museums, big statues, even bigger buildings - certainly the Manhattan skyline with its many skyscrapers is universally recognizable - and being the most linguistically diverse city in the world, the Big Apple’s hyperactive rush keeps drawing more and more people to it. The City of New York is a densely packed mass of humanity and all this living on top of one another makes the New Yorker a special kind of person. more info

3	Sun 18 Jul 2021	St George's, Bermuda	12:00 PM	Overnight
St George’s is an island and town of the same name in the British Overseas Territory of the archipelago Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was founded in 1612 and served as the capital of Bermuda until eclipsed by Hamilton in 1815. St George’s is the oldest continually inhabited English settlement in the New World, and the second largest town. The island is in the hurricane belt and prone to severe weather. However, it is somewhat protected from the full force of a hurricane by the coral reef that surrounds the island. more info

5	Tue 20 Jul 2021	Hamilton, Bermuda	8:00 AM	Overnight
Hamilton is the capital of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, as well as being its largest city and administrative centre. The port city was named after Henry Hamilton, whose ancestry can be traced all the way back to Mary Queen of Scots. Maybe this explains why the passionate loyalty to England is so very prevalent. Fascinatingly, the attraction known as ‘bird cage’ features Bermuda-shorts-wearing-constables directing the traffic. You will see numerous fortifications of Royal Navy heritage that contrast with the charming pastel-coloured two-storey buildings along Front Street. The area is filled with restaurants, and shops selling porcelain, cashmere and delightful gems, so all are assured of a fascinating visit. more info

Insignia Overview

Insignia runs annual World Cruises – 2020, January to March, 180-nights: While Australasia and Europe are not on the path, the itinerary heads west from Miami, features South America, and concludes in San Francisco. The cruise is port intensive, includes well-chosen overnight stays, and visits very interesting coastlines. Then in 2021, January to March, 180 nights: Departing Miami, head west to include NZ and Australia’s east coast, omits Africa and South America, ends in San Francisco.. Consider the sector that departs Sydney 25 February for SE and E Asia, over 28 nights. 2022, January to March, 180 nights: Departing Los Angeles, head west to Australia and New Zealand, the cruise is East Asia and Africa intensive. It omits the Americas, and ends in New York. Travel the world with one of the world’s luxury lines, at a competitive fare, and the most popular small ship design afloat. Look at her itineraries, select a sector of the world that looks intriguing, and visit many smaller ports. Meanwhile, in 2020 Insignia visits the coastlines of the North and South Atlantic. In mid-August 2020 there’s a 42-night Atlantic round trip out of Manhattan (a short walk from Times Square) that takes you to Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia and the UK. See the Northern Aurora, and near-enough to the Midnight Sun. This size of ship is ideal for older travellers who value good conversation and well thought out itineraries.

Accommodation

Most cabins have an outside view, and two-thirds have a private balcony. The standard interior and outside cabins are smallish but comfortable, with twin/queen-size bed and ‘best beds at sea’, bathrobes, plenty of built-in cabinets, flat-screen TV, DVD player, writing desk, satellite phone, wireless Internet, and personal safe. Décor is attractive with dark wood accents. Maid service is twice daily. Cabins with balcony have a fridge mini-bar, lounge area with breakfast table, and balcony with teak chairs and table. Speedy room service is available from a separate in-room dining menu.

Food and Dining

All dining is open-seated and dining is when you choose. There are four different restaurants under the direction of Master Chef Jacques Pépin. The Grand Dining Room features ‘American-inspired continental cuisine’ in an elegant atmosphere with fine table settings and top service. The Toscana Italian Restaurant offers genuine Tuscan cuisine and wines, with unique touches. The Polo Grill features steakhouse and seafood in a leather-chair club setting. (Reservations, but no extra charge for these last two venues.) The lido Waves Grill – indoors and outdoors – is the ship’s self-service buffet.

Entertainment

On-shore itineraries are the main daytime fare. However, on the ship, day classes include small-group Microsoft software instruction, use of the Internet, and digital photography – that is, if you are not absorbed in the Library, wine tasting, or relaxing in a top-deck Jacuzzi. In the evening the ship is filled with music in several bars and lounges. The Lounge is the centre for lectures, some social events, and a mix of comedians, magicians, classical recitals, and staff entertainers.
