Nautica

One of Oceania Cruises’ smaller offerings is Nautica, a ship that more than makes up in luxury what it lacks in size! Accommodating less than 700 guests, this rather compact ship can surely be described as a microcosm of sheer luxury. Attention to details is evident in every nook and corner of this piece of floating opulence.  From multi-cuisine restaurants where special sommeliers are assigned to take you through the fine nuances of oil and vinegar pairings to Versace dinnerware and Broadway-style shows, it’s the small touches of true-blue lavishness that sets this ship apart. Try your luck at the casino or soak in a hot water bubble massage while watching the Northern Lights or taking in the view of an unspoilt Mediterranean coastline. Offering voyages through Asia, South Africa, Europe and Scandinavia – with departures from Hong Kong, Nautica is sure to be the vessel of choice for those looking to combine the best of travel and luxury!  For details, visit www.oceaniacruises.com/ships/nautica/
