* Usable = time in port minus 2 hours: half an hour to get ashore, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, and back at the gangway an hour before that. "Be back by" is that gangway time. Schedules change; the port's own list is the reference.

Oceania Cruises’ Nautica spends late February and March 2027 in Japanese and Korean waters: 11 Japan calls from Miyakojima and Naha in the south to Hakodate and Niigata in the north, with Nagasaki three times and Busan three times, and a last call at Miyakojima on 21 April on the way from Shanghai to Keelung.
Three things Nautica passengers should know
Both Kochi calls (7 and 14 March 2027) are listed without a berth. The Kochi port page covers where ships tie up; the ship’s daily programme names yours.
On 19 March Nautica is listed at the Itsukaichi -11m/-12m Quay, not Ujina, where most ships call. The Hiroshima page has the way into town from each berth.
Three of the 14 calls are at Busan’s International Passenger Terminal, North Port, 10–15 minutes on foot from Busan Station and the metro.
Questions Nautica passengers ask
Where does Nautica dock in Nagasaki?
At Matsugae Cruise Terminal on 5 and 28 March 2027, and at Dejima Wharf on 16 March.
Where does Nautica dock in Hakodate?
At Wakamatsu Wharf (Hakodate Cruise Terminal) on 23 March 2027, 07:00–15:00, listed as her first call at Hakodate.
How long are Nautica’s Japan calls?
Eight to twelve hours. The shortest are Hakodate (07:00–15:00) and Niigata (08:00–16:00); the longest is Miyakojima on 21 April, 07:00–19:00.
