ExperienceIT’S LIKE WE READ YOUR MINDOur mid-size ships were thoughtfully designed with you in mind. Everything you could ever want or imagine is here, wonderfully wrapped in a world of elegance without pretense. Perhaps even more delightful, our ships remain comfortably casual, which just naturally encourages you to be yourself.

Dear Members and Friends:
We invite you to explore the riches of the Mediterranean onboard Oceania Cruises elegant Insignia from November 12 to November 22, 2011. With Free Airfare and Exclusive Cruise Fares, there has never been a better time to explore the wonders of Europe.
Under the superb leadership of Dr. Richard Mason, professor of Western Civilization, you will explore Venice, Dubrovnik, Kotor in Montenegro, Taormina on Sicily, the Amalfi coast, Livorno, Monte Carlo and Rome. You may explore on your own or select from a wonderful variety of optional shore excursions onboard.
After a full two days in Venice, we will cross the Adriatic to Dubrovnik, “the pearl of the Adriatic” where you may walk along the walls of the city, or just wander the cobblestone streets and colorful walkways of this historical Croatian city. In Kotor, discover the Byzantine and Venetian influences on this dramatic city. In Sicily, we’ll visit Taormina, a hillside town with impressive ancient remains. The beautiful Amalfi coast beckons as does its jewel of the region - Positano. Livorno is our gateway for discovering the Tuscan Countryside and Florence, home of Michelangelo’s David and the magnificent Duomo cathedral. In Monte Carlo, playground of the rich and famous, explore the Palais du Prince and opulent casinos. Our journey concludes in the fabled eternal city of Rome. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and join us. Best regards, Margaret Betchart, President Betchart Expeditions Inc. For AAAS, Sigma Xi, and ACS Expeditions
