Nautica

Long one-way voyages across Asia, with Japan and the Med in between

Most of Nautica’s sailings are one-way voyages through South East Asia, starting in Singapore, Hong Kong or Bali. From Singapore she sails 12 and 14 nights to Bali or Hong Kong, departing in November, January and February; stops change between departures, but Penang, Phuket and Port Klang for Kuala Lumpur are among them. From Bali, 14-night voyages head for Bangkok (Klong Toey) or Hong Kong in December and January, with Lombok, Surabaya and Ho Chi Minh City typical of the route.

Her longest voyages leave Hong Kong in April and December and run 27, 32 or 53 nights, ending in Bali, Dubai or Istanbul. Ports vary, though Halong Bay, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City are typical calls along the coast of Vietnam.

In March she switches to cruises around Japan: 10-night round-trips from Tokyo, where calls vary but might include Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and Busan in South Korea. In July and September she sails the Western Mediterranean, on 7-night one-ways from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Barcelona and 10-night one-ways from Barcelona to Rome or Lisbon; Monte Carlo, Marseille and Livorno for Florence are among the ports she may visit, and you can see what is on sale among the Mediterranean cruises for 2027. Wherever you join her, we book the flights out and home, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday, including the flight back from Dubai or Istanbul when a voyage ends there.

Nautica is one of Oceania Cruises’ Regatta Class ships, a group including Sirena and Insignia; the rest of the line’s ships are on the Oceania Cruises page.

Evenings at Martinis and The Lounge

Nautica’s evenings centre on Martinis, where the menu runs from traditional dry versions of the cocktail to creative house interpretations, and The Grand Bar, an elegant room for a rare vintage or a classic cocktail before dinner. Drinks at both are charged unless a beverage package covers them. Afterwards The Lounge, included in the fare, hosts headline performances, comedy, magic and live jazz, while the art deco Casino, inspired by Monte Carlo and the Hippodrome, is free to walk into, with gaming and its golden Casino Bar charged separately.

Sea days have their own rhythm. Baristas pours complimentary illy espressos, cappuccinos and lattes with pastries and homemade biscotti. The Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center charges for treatments and salon services, but its Fitness Center equipment and classes, from Pilates and yoga to strength training, are free, and high on deck a running track and sports deck give laps with sea views.

Polo Grill, Toscana and the Grand Dining Room

Nautica’s specialty restaurants, Polo Grill and Toscana, carry no surcharge, so a steakhouse night or an Italian evening is part of the fare. Polo Grill serves USDA-certified Angus beef aged for at least 40 days, alongside grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinée, in a room of rich wood and white linen where the staff wear black jackets. Toscana cooks from the family recipes of Oceania’s Italian chefs and serves them on Versace china.

The Grand Dining Room offers a changing Continental and global menu with at least ten appetisers and entrées each evening, an Executive Chef’s Tasting Menu and wellness-focused options, a variety that counts on a voyage of several weeks. Terrace Café covers all three meals with indoor and outdoor seating, and Waves Grill by the pool makes burgers, seafood and hand-dipped shakes to order through the afternoon.

Can I sail on Nautica as a solo traveller?

Yes: Oceania Cruises’ Solo Traveler Fares are designed for guests sailing alone, giving them their own accommodation without the usual full double-occupancy pricing, which can mean significant savings compared with standard rates.
