When Oceania Cruises was founded in 2002, 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.

Note: The R-Class was supposed to be ships for Princess Cruises and they would operate as expedition ships for Princess Expeditions.
