The Cruise Ship Insignia was built in 1998 and is owned and operated by Oceania Cruises. She can accommodate 684 passengers and 400 crew. This image of her was captured in July 2007 as she lay at anchor in the Bay of Naples, Italy, close to the Sorrento shore. As Sorrento has no landing facilities for large ships it is necessary to anchor and to transport passengers and crew to and from shore by means of the ship's lifeboats.
