Lady Luck always seems to be present in the Casino, coaxing jackpots and eliciting squeals of delight. Take one of the slot machines for a spin or join in a rousing game of blackjack, poker, or roulette.

The beautifully decorated Card Room is an inviting and tranquil oasis. Stay at the top of your game and try your hand at bridge, either in tournament format or with newfound friends. Or, gather around one of the many tables for a quiet afternoon or evening of board games.

Each ship has eight distinct lounges and bars, each with its own special ambience. Enjoy your favorite cocktail at Horizons, offering sweeping vistas and live entertainment. Martinis serves numerous incarnations of this famous cocktail in an intimate atmosphere. It features live piano music and is reminiscent of a private gentleman's club. Or, you can visit the Polo Bar to sample an almost infinite variety of premium, single-malt scotch and full-grain whiskeys. Sample a rare vintage amid the opulence of the The Grand Bar or the chicness of Grappa.

Whether it's a 12-piece classical concert, a jazz-and-blues jam session at Horizons, or a magician, comedian, or guest lecturer, Oceania believes that exploration and learning should be wonderfully entertaining. So it should come as no surprise that the enrichment programs are always immensely fascinating.

Guest lecturers don't just present information relevant to the region of the world in which you're sailing. They make it come alive, drawing you in with stories and personal experiences. They know because they're experts. In many cases, they were there in the midst of world events. Renowned politicians, famous authors, and broadway stars - these are the kinds of engaging personalities who lecture aboard the ships. Imagine being able to discuss a favorite book with its author, or question a former ambassador about foreign policy. All the reading and research in the world can't compare with a face-to-face discussion on subject matters important to you.

If you're a performing-arts aficionado, you'll find Oceania's entertainment to be just as enticing and personally satisfying. In the evenings, the ship is filled with music performed by what some say is the finest orchestra at sea. Attend a live classical concert under the stars, or marvel at magicians, comedians, and other headliners. Evenings aboard Regatta and Insignia can be anything you desire. Chat with newfound friends over a cocktail in one of eight lounges. Dance the night away in Horizons to the sounds of a marvelous musical group. Entertainment has never been so enjoyable, enriching, or varied.

Oceania has two intimate and luxurious 684-passenger ships: the Regatta and Insignia. Formerly the Renaissance R1 and R2, respectively, these two midsized ships afford incomparable luxury, including cuisine that is simply the finest at sea. With only 684 guests to pamper, the 400 staff members cater to every whim with highly personalized service. There is a sense of warmth and intimacy throughout, so the ambience resembles that of a private country club - casual, yet elegant.

Imbued with a warmth and intimacy rarely found at sea, the atmosphere aboard Regatta and Insignia is reminiscent of an upscale, private country club. It is casual elegance at its finest. Relaxed. Comfortable. Unpretentious. Although highly sophisticated, the ambience is devoid of formality, so you can leave the tuxedos and evening gowns at home. Just bring a desire to enjoy life at your own speed, on your own terms.

As the day breaks, a world of opportunity unfolds. Join the planned activities, create your own diversions, or simply relax and go about your day as you see fit. Pass the time reading in the English-inspired library, or perhaps a little shopping is in order in the two stylish boutiques. Lose yourself amid the museum-quality art collection or just relax while sampling rare vintages at a wine tasting hosted in one of eight distinct lounges and bars onboard.

High Tea, one of cruising's most time-honored traditions, is served promptly at 4 PM each day. The pastry chefs take center stage with a colorful collection of English finger sandwiches, scones, and other goodies fit for royalty. Live entertainment and gracious service complete an elegant, refined afternoon.
