Oceania Nautica was built in 2000 and joined Oceania in 2005. At about 30,277 gross tons she carries 684 guests with 9 passenger decks, a far more intimate scale than Oceania's larger ships. She had a stateroom renovation under the OceaniaNEXT program in June 2020. Oceania has announced that Nautica will be refurbished bow to stern from 15 October 2027, with capacity cut sharply (reported to be under 400 guests) and relaunched as Oceania Aurelia on longer itineraries.

✦ The standout feature

A true boutique ship — about 684 guests — that is about to be rebuilt into a smaller, longer-voyage ship named Oceania Aurelia.
