About Oceania Nautica
Oceania Nautica is a 30,277-ton Regatta Class ship carrying about 670 guests with a crew of 400. Completed in 2000 at Chantiers de l’Atlantique, she joined Oceania in 2005 and was renewed under the OceaniaNEXT program, which gave her 342 redesigned staterooms and suites, a new reception hall and grand staircase, a redesigned Martinis bar and refreshed restaurants and lounges in the style of the line’s newer ships.
Like her sisters, Nautica is built for the destination. Nine guest decks hold four restaurants, all included in the fare, the Horizons observation lounge, a library, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center and a single pool deck, and the size keeps the atmosphere calm and clubby. Oceania’s country-club casual dress code, open-seating dinners and the culinary program it calls The Finest Cuisine at Sea set the tone, with long itineraries that favor overnights and lesser-known ports.
In 2026 Nautica sails the Caribbean from Miami, crosses the Atlantic to Lisbon and spends spring and summer in the Mediterranean, then heads east for a winter of Asia and Africa voyages of 9 to 24 days, including a holiday sailing from Hong Kong to Singapore. Oceania announced in April 2026 that Nautica will be transformed in 2027 into Oceania Aurelia, a suite-heavy world-cruise ship for fewer than 500 guests, debuting in late 2027.
