YouTube Video Description

I'm on board the Oceania Insignia and the very first thing I noticed stepping on board was the age of the crowd — and I mean that in the best possible way. In this video I break down exactly what it's like to cruise with a more senior, vintage demographic: the pace of the ship, the entertainment lineup, the social scene, and whether it's worth booking even if you're on the younger side. This one is for anyone who has ever wondered what they're actually getting into with Oceania. Oceania's average passenger age sits around 70, and with the cruise line moving to an 18-plus-only policy going forward, that number is only going to skew older. If you've been on the fence about Oceania and want an honest answer on what the vibe is really like, this is the video.
