Oceania Cruises has officially announced an exciting transformation: the beloved Oceania Nautica will be reintroduced as Oceania Aurelia in late 2027. This reimagined vessel is part of the brand’s ongoing OceaniaNEXT program, which focuses on elevating luxury, comfort, and personalized guest experiences across its fleet.
A New Era of Luxury Cruising
Designed for extended global voyages, Oceania Aurelia will offer a more intimate and refined cruising experience. With a smaller guest capacity and enhanced layout, the ship is being rebuilt to provide a “home at sea” atmosphere—perfect for travelers seeking longer, immersive journeys.
According to Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, the ship is tailored for guests who value space, privacy, and highly personalized service. The redesigned vessel aims to create deeper connections—not just onboard, but also with the destinations it visits.
Elegant Suites Designed for Comfort
Oceania Aurelia will feature a stunning collection of suites, blending classic luxury with modern enhancements. Guests can expect upgraded versions of:
- Owner’s Suites
- Vista Suites
- Penthouse Suites
In addition, the ship will introduce new accommodation categories such as:
- Oceania Suites
- Horizon Suites
- Oceanview and Inside Suites
Each suite is thoughtfully designed with premium amenities to provide the comfort of a private residence—ideal for long-duration voyages.
Culinary Excellence at Sea
Dining onboard Oceania Aurelia will be a highlight, with a range of venues offering destination-inspired cuisine. Guests can indulge in exceptional meals at:
- The Grand Dining Room
- Polo Grill
- Toscana
- Terrace Café
- Waves Grill

The ship will also enhance its café experience with Baristas, now relocated to Horizons, alongside a newly introduced bakery serving European pastries and specialties. For sweet treats, the Crêperie will offer fresh crêpes, waffles, and gelato sundaes.
