Oceania Cruises Insignia Cruising With Kids.

The Insignia cruise experience is geared toward adults. The Insignia does not have a children's program but certain cruises are more children friendly than others. Overall there are no facilities or activities geared toward children. There are no water slides, children's pools or other children oriented activities, no camp counselor, etc. If you are traveling with children, I would choose another cruise line or I recommend to check with your travel agent and/or Oceania Cruises to see if a particular sailing is children friendly and the types of activities available.
