Oceania Nautica deck plans

Oceania Nautica (2000-built as "R-Five", last refurbished in 2022/OceaniaNEXT refurbishment) is the first (and currently the oldest) among the R-Class Oceania Cruises ships - together with Insignia (R-One), Regatta (R-Two) and Sirena (R-Four). In the Azamara fleet, Nautica's sisterships are Azamara Onward (R-Three), Azamara Journey (R-Six), Azamara Quest (R-Seven), Azamara Pursuit (R-Eight).

The Nautica ship was built for and operated by Renaissance Cruises (1989-founded/2001-defunct) under the name "R Five". In 2002 the vessel was bought by Royal Caribbean and transferred to their Pullmantur fleet until 2004. In 2005 she was extensively refitted and refurbished, renamed "ms Nautica", transferred to and operated ever since by the Oceania brand.

MS Nautica cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 349 staterooms for 698 passengers (max capacity is 803), served by 400 crew/staff. The boat has 11 decks (9 passenger-accessible, 5 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 11 lounges and bars, 1 swimming pool, 3 outdoor Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs/1 Spa), 4 elevators, no self-service laundry facilities (laundromats).

Oceania Cruises Nautica is an "affordable luxury" cruise vessel. Among Nautica’s best features is that all her decks and verandas are laid with quality teak. All the ship’s dining venues boast luxurious amenities, such as quality china (by Villeroy&Boch), silver (by Christofle) and crystal (by Riedel), and she has an impressive artworks collection on display at various public areas.
