Phoenix Reisen Adds Oceania’s Insignia as the Alvara

Phoenix Reisen has confirmed that it will add the Insignia to its fleet, with the ship set to begin sailing for the Bonn-based operator as the Alvara in November 2027.

Built in 1998, the 700-guest vessel currently sails for Oceania Cruises. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The ship is scheduled to arrive at the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven in September 2027, where it will be painted in Phoenix’s signature turquoise livery and undergo a series of modifications to bring the onboard experience in line with the rest of the fleet.

“With the Alvara, we are welcoming a fantastic ship into the Phoenix family,” said Managing Director Benjamin Krumpen. “It is exceptionally well-maintained, in excellent technical condition and is already equipped for shore power.”
