Nautica underwent a multi-million dollar refit in 2014 which transformed the ship into a sleek and elegantly charming vessel while still providing Oceania Cruises’ characteristic white glove service, incredible standards and superb itineraries that larger ships can't.
With a 684 guest capacity and 400 members of staff, Nautica offers an exceptional guest to staff ratio of just 1.71:1. The informal country hotel-style cruise line may offer a 'country club' dress code and relaxed atmosphere, but still offers the highest of standards when it comes to service and world class cuisine.
The neoclassical-style furnishings add character to Nautica's decor, made from the finest teak, custom carved stone and stunning tile work. Whether you book a stateroom or suite, you can enjoy Oceania Cruises patented Tranquillity Bed which comprise of a luxurious mattress, down feather pillows and duvets which are covered in the finest 700-count Egyptian cotton, while approximately 70% of the cabins feature private verandas.

With arguably some of the finest cuisine at sea, Nautica offers five fantastic, open seating restaurants, meaning you can choose a restaurant and dining time to suit your mood:
Before choosing where to dine, bear in mind that reservations are required for dining in the Polo Grill and Toscana, so book beforehand to avoid disappointment.
Entertainment onboard Nautica is as elegant and sophisticated as you would expect from a ship in the Oceania fleet. The Nautica Lounge offers live entertainment with headline acts that include music and comedy. After the show is over, head to Martini's bar where there is a fantastic selection of (unsurprisingly!) Martinis, while Polo Bar has a fine selection of single malts.
With a relaxed feeling in every venue and a great selection of drinks and entertainment, there’s no better way to wind down after a day of excursions than at one of the bars and lounges onboard Oceania Nautica.
Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center

Healthy living and spiritual awareness are at the heart of the Aquamar Spa & Vitality Center philosophy and with an excellent range of facilities and treatments, from acupuncture to body wraps and massages, where better to relax than in the professional hands of staff at the spa?
Exercise & Wellness
Fitness activities on offer include indoor cycling, yoga, pilates, aerobics and both group and private fitness classes and personal training. Plus, why not undertake a nutrition and lifestyle consultation, and let Oceania's professionals help change your life?
There are plenty of recreational activities onboard Nautica. Relax by the pool with a cocktail or your favourite book, enjoy the quiet surroundings of the English-style library, or participate in one of the enrichment classes. Challenge members of your party to a friendly competition on the shuffleboard court or a spot of 9-hole golf. Whatever you choose, you’ll find that time just flies by.
Alternatively, there’s the chance to try your luck in the Casino, or simply enjoy a tipple in one of the five bars and lounges available. In addition, the three boutique shops which offer designer wear as well as casual sundries and an array of fantastic value duty-free merchandise are ideal for picking up a holiday treat for you or your loved ones. From guest lectures by historians and naturalists to a relaxing musical performance by a live pianist, there are many ways you can find your bliss onboard.
We started our holiday in Copenhagen, where we spent 2 days prior to boarding our cruise. The hotel here was perfectly located in the city center, close to the main attractions and is highly recommended - it us the Absalon hotel. We are very impressed with the quality of the service and facilities of Oceania. We particularly enjoyed the concept of small ship (about 680 passengers) - this meant that it is never over crowded; be it in the bars, restaurants, the pool area or the theatre. You also feel the attentive service from the staff - friendly and competent. The food was one of the reasons we booked with Oceania and I feared that this might have been a bit of a marketing hype - but it is not. All restaurants, from the simple Terrace self service to the two Speciality restaurants and the Dining Room, all serve excellent food. Only one area that I would mark down; that is the size of the bathroom - it is a little tight and we had a Concierge Balcony room. On the whole, top marks for this first cruise for us with Oceania. Also and as usual, the arrangements made by Iglu; flight, transfers, hotel and cruise were perfect. Thank you Iglu.

The first time on a small ship (670) guests. This caused minor problems when using the terrace cafe when people were going on trips as there were more guests requiring seats than were available. Bad weather added to the problem as we could not sit at the outside tables. Compared with the larger ships Marina etc this ship seemed small, but had the advantage of it was quicker to get to where you needed to go. The size also meant more movement in the windy conditions. The crew were good and very friendly and the food was excellent. The ship is due for renovation as it is getting tired but was still clean. The destinations were good especially Japan and the Great Wall of China. We were suprised by the lower temperaturesthan expected so beware when travelling in March in the China sea - coats were needed.
Southampton to Stockholm with two overnights in St Petersburg was an ideal cruise and the whole experience lived up to previous cruises with Oceania. Could find no faults at all and thoroughly enjoyed every moment apart from being reminded that many Americans do not understand queueing.
