Nautica Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a very nice itinerary. Those looking for an opportunity to see New Zealand got a taste of 5 very nice ports. The French Polynesian ports are nice, but I had seen them before and chose to save my excursion money for the ports I hadn't visited. It was unfortunate that we missed some ports and we had very rough seas for three days and rough seas for two. The captain did everything in his power to navigate around it, but activities had to be cancelled or postponed due to the rough seas.

Incredible cruise. Great ports of call. Very helpful staff. Fine dining. Relaxing causing. Nice ship.

Don’t go on Oceania Nautica. Yes the food is excellent but being stuck on this small ship with no port stops,There is nothing to do. As we were told by the senior staff we shouldn’t have spent our hard earned money on this once in a life time cruise. With that kind of attitude by this billion dollar company I am surprised and disappointed that they are still. In business.

The cruise was good, although the weather was very warm. We will remember what hemisphere we are traveling in the next time we book,

I sailed on Azamara last November/December…i much preferred this cruise line ..there was more connectivity ie white nights , Azamazing on shore events, organized activities… The food was way better on Azamara

additional to above the tours were a big disappointment Bad timing all off together and most back at same time with one gangplank and old guests not good Too many in groups some poor quality guides with poor english

I would highly recommend this cruise to someone that wants to explore the middle east in significant safety and luxury. We passed through a high pirate risk area for over three days. We took on specially trained security crew for that period of the cruise, and the ship was blacked out at night to help make us harder to see. The Middle East is a very unique are of the world and someplace to explore with a very open mind. We loved the trip!

40% of our excursions / ports either missed what they described, we disappointing or were cancelled. Staff on the ship were great except for the destination services team (to many issues to expand on but they would get zero stars.) Food was decent however for the price paid, we would have expected better.

Great cruise. One of the best we have been on. Unique and interesting ports.

We booked this cruise three years ago when it was longer with two stops in Morocco. Those destinations were the reason for our booking. Telling us late in the evening before the scheduled arrival in Casablanca that that stop was cancelled was totally disappointing and handled totally unprofessionally. Many of us felt something was amiss.

I love cruises especially on a ship of this size. Most of the ports were wonderful and it is always so great to return from a long day to your lovely clean room to relax before dinner.

God cruise, but not for singles. Staff didn’t encourage sharing.

WE LOVED IT FROM THE MOMENT WE GOT ON TO THE MOMENT WE GOT OFF. EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING, GUESTS WERE HAPPY AND SOCIAL, FOOD WAS AMAZING

We loved the cruise though the ship did not complete its itinerary. NCL and Oceania did the right thing by diverting us to Dubai and canceling their Asian itineraries. Muscat was great!

Wonderful cruise. Will have many long-time memories. Met very nice people. Uneven excursions but most were fascinating.

The cruise schedule does not provide for optimum wildlife viewing, arriving late morning in most cases. This particular cruise was further impacted due to bad weather, causing delayed embarkation and departure from Capetown, an abbreviated stay in Walvis Bay, by-passing Port Elizabeth. The stop in Maputo was a wasted day that could have been better spent as an overnight in two of the other ports.

The cruise was good, although every time I moved my arm I was in pain. At least the doctor on ship X-rayed and let me know it was not broken. He gave me a sling which was a big help! I have an appointment with an orthopedic at his suggestion. There were too many days at sea due to the Namibia jaunt and the bad weather. The staff and food on Nautica made up for any complaints. It was a good trip which would have been more enjoyable had I not fallen.

It was a good cruise, weather played a role in what we did and where we went, but did not put a damper on our spirits. Fellow passengers we met were nice, friendly and fun. I give thanks and praise to our Captain and his staff for a safe journey.

We are veteran Oceania travelers because we really enjoy the line, its excellent service and food, and its relatively small ships. We liked the itinerary and had pleasant excursions (privately booked) in most of the ports. We weren't able to visit Guernsey due to rough seas, but understand that's always a risk. The Cruise Director and his staff did a great job putting together a plan for our unplanned sea day, and we had a fine time despite missing the port.
