The Regatta class is a class of cruise ships that are owned by Oceania Cruises.

The Regatta-class ships were built in 1998–2000 for Renaissance Cruises as a part of their R class. [1] They have a gross tonnage of 30,277 and can accommodate a maximum of 824 passengers in 343 cabins. [2]

When Oceania Cruises was founded in 2002, [3] they took three of the R-class ships: R One which they rechristened MS Insignia, R Two which they rechristened MS Regatta, and R Five which they rechristened MS Nautica. Oceania referred to these collectively as the Regatta class.

Beginning in April 2012, Insignia began what was initially announced as a two-year lease to Hapag-Lloyd, who is currently operating the ship as MS Columbus 2. It returned to the fleet In 2014. In 2016, The former R Two was christened and entered service for Oceania as Sirena. [4] [5] [6]
