Nautica

Winters in Southeast Asia, Spring in Japan, Summer in the Med

Nautica spends the UK winter in Southeast Asia. From November to February she sails one-way voyages of 12 or 14 nights from Singapore to Bali or Hong Kong, plus 14-night passages from Bali to Bangkok (Klong Toey) or Hong Kong. Calls change between departures. Phuket, Penang and Lombok are typical from Singapore, while the Bali voyages can take in Ko Samui and Ho Chi Minh City.

In March she switches to ten-night Japan round trips from Tokyo. Stops vary, but you might see Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Kagoshima, with Busan in South Korea on some voyages.

July and September bring her to the Western Mediterranean with Oceania. Ten-night voyages leave Barcelona for Rome (Civitavecchia) or Lisbon, and in September she also runs seven nights from Rome to Barcelona. Ports vary; Monte Carlo, Livorno for Florence and Palma de Mallorca are among them.

Wherever she sails from, we can put the flights, a hotel either side and the transfers on one booking with the cruise as a Cruise1st Package. Her fellow Regatta Class ships include Insignia and Sirena.

Cocktail Hour and Art Deco Evenings on Nautica

Nautica’s evenings are built around a drink before dinner. The Grand Bar is the place for it, an elegant room made for mingling over a rare vintage or a classic cocktail. Martinis takes that one drink further, with countless versions of the classic, from traditional dry to the bar’s own creative takes.

Later, the Casino sets its tables in an art deco style inspired by Monte Carlo and the Hippodrome. It is free to wander even if you never place a bet, and its golden bar is there for a nightcap. Drinks in all three are charged unless you hold a beverage package.

Steakhouse and Italian Dinners at No Extra Charge

Nautica’s specialty restaurants carry no surcharge, so the steakhouse is an ordinary night out rather than a splurge. Polo Grill serves USDA-certified Angus beef aged for at least 40 days, plus whole Maine lobster gratinée, amid rich wood and crisp white linen, with staff in black jackets. Toscana cooks from the family recipes of Oceania’s Italian chefs and serves them on Versace china.

On other nights The Grand Dining Room offers at least ten appetisers and entrées on a changing menu, with an Executive Chef’s Tasting Menu among them and wellness-focused options too.

Can You Cruise Solo on Nautica?

Yes. Oceania’s Solo Traveler Fares are designed for guests sailing alone, giving them their own cabin without the usual full double-occupancy pricing. On board, dinner at Polo Grill or Toscana needs no extra spend, and The Lounge hosts headline acts, comedy, magic and live jazz at no charge.

Nautica Cabins and Deck Plans

Nautica’s 340 cabins rise to a family of suites, with balcony cabins below them. The Nautica cabins and deck plans set out her suites and balcony cabins on each of her decks.
