Elegantly charming, Nautica’s lounges, suites and staterooms boast luxurious, residential furnishings and her decks are resplendent in the finest teak, custom stone and tile work. Nautica offers every luxury you may expect on board one of our stylish ships. She features four unique, open-seating restaurants, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, eight lounges and bars, a casino and 333 luxurious suites and chic staterooms, nearly 70% of which feature private verandas. With just 656 guests to pamper, our 400 professionally trained staff ensure you will wait for nothing.
In a dramatic re-inspiration process, Nautica will become a completely redesigned ship without peer. Every surface of every suite and stateroom will be entirely new, while in the public spaces, a refreshed colour palette of soft sea and sky tones will surround a tasteful renewal of fabrics, furnishings and lighting fixtures that exquisitely encompasses the inimitable style and comfort of Oceania Cruises. From the bejewelled new chandeliers in the gracious Grand Dining Room to the beckoning Reception Hall, Nautica will celebrate a rejuvenation so sweeping, you will find it positively unimaginable to resist her welcoming embrace.
My husband and I had a wonderful cruise in Tahiti on the Nautica. This was our first time on an Oceania cruise, and we were most impressed with the ship and the crew. First, they helped me recover my lost bag from Delta. Both the concierge and assistant purser were true heroes for me. Thanks so much! The ship itself was beautiful; all of the interiors looked brand new. We had heard that the food on Oceania was the best on the sea, and we were not disappointed. The grand dining room had consistently excellent food. We particularly loved the service in the Polo Grill. The food was delicious. We also ate several times in the Wave. The fish sandwich was terrific, and the burger was good too. I was a fan of the shrimp roll. Lastly, the selection of food in Terrace Cafe was amazing. I liked the regional specialties that they offered daily, and my husband was a big fan of the ice cream. It was extra creamy! I visited the spa for a life changing massage; I literally could touch my toes much more easily after that stone massage. My husband and I enjoyed several shore excursions. The sunset cruise in Bora Bora should not be missed! The only shore excursion that disappointed was the canoe trip down the river in Raitiea. It did rather remind me of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. There wasn't much to see. Lastly, a big shout-out to our butler, Titus. He was the best! He helped us when we needed to reschedule a reservation at the Polo Grill, which I think was a minor miracle. He made our cruise so easy and enjoyable. All in all we had a fantastic time!
Oceania did a great job. Our cruise was fabulous and the low guest to crew ratio made for service beyond our expectations everywhere on the ship - from the restaurants, to the pool deck, and in our stateroom. There was more than enough room and storage in our concierge level stateroom and the bed was extremely comfortable. As they claim, Oceania provides an elegantly casual atmosphere on their ships. My only comment (and it should be taken as a comment only - not criticism) is that they don't really enforce their dress code. They suggest dress slacks with collared shirts and jackets for men in the evening especially in the grand dining room and specialty restaurants but there were plenty of men on board who ignored that. So, I guess you can take their dress code with a grain of salt. And DO NOT take a tux. I'll also note that we were a little surprised by the average age of the guests on board. At 64 and 48, we were probably among the younger of the couples on the cruise. It was fine though and we met some wonderful couples with interesting stories to tell. Finally, I would suggest doing some research and finding your own shore excursions with local companies on the islands. Of our six Oceania shore excursions, I would probably only recommend two or three. I think that is pretty normal though. In conclusion, if you are looking for a not-too-formal luxury cruise line, I think it would be difficult to beat the level of comfort and service that Oceania provides. We loved the cruise and would certainly cruise on Oceania again. Oh, and the cocktails in the Horizons lounge were among the best I've ever had.
We really enjoyed our first cruise with Oceania. We had concerns that the small size of the ship would mean too little to do on our 10 sea days, but there were always activities available and we made good friends with our fellow quizzers at daily trivia. We enjoyed the intimacy of having fewer passengers and there were never queues for anything from dining to disembarking. The entertainment was better than we expected even though it was on a smaller scale than on bigger ships and we found the 9.30 start of the evening shows to be later than ideal. The regular singers/dancers did double duty running deck games, etc, so we had chance to get to know them, and we had some excellent guest entertainers. Amelia, the cruise director, did a great job. Crew members in all departments were friendly and polite. The ship was in lovely condition for an older ship as it has been recently refurbished and it was kept very clean. We were satisfied with our interior cabin which was very quiet and comfortable. Some people have commented on the size of the showers but I am not a small person and I managed to have decent showers, albeit standing sideways! We appreciated the inclusions such as speciality dining, drinks with meals, gratuities, free laundry and wifi. For us the wifi worked well enough for general use. The food was good, though perhaps not the "finest cuisine at sea", a slogan which may lead to overly high expectations. The main dining room was attractive with a high end feel, although we ate more often at Terrace Cafe. If there was a weakness it was the excursions which too often did not fit the description given and were generally over-priced compared to identical ones we found ashore. Another quirk was the odd way of ordering room service via a paging system and having to call again to get the tray collected but this was a minor detail. Overall we had a lovely time and we were very blessed by the weather which could have been problematic as we were in French Polynesia during the rainy season, but the sun shone on us most of the time and we had no missed ports.
The generous dimensions of our suites and staterooms afford the ultimate in luxury. A fashionable colour palette blends sea, sky and comforting earth tones to create a soothing environment that invites relaxation. Every suite and stateroom on board will be imbued with an even more luxurious ambiance, featuring designer residential furnishings, fine fabrics and plush draperies, chic lighting and much more.

All of our suites are uncommonly spacious for added comfort. The Suites are adorned in designer fabrics and furnishings echoing the serene seas and expansive skies, becoming calming and tranquil oases of quietude and relaxation. Penthouse Suites offer oversized living and dining areas, and marble and granite-clad bathrooms with a shower.
Our palatial Owner’s Suites and Vista Suites offer everything you would expect in a world-class hotel, elevating sea-going opulence to new levels. Resplendent with custom Empire-style furnishings from Italy on board, each has its own bedroom, dining area and so much more.
