The verdict
Which should you choose?
Nautica is a small Oceania Cruises ship carrying 684 passengers, in service since 1999. Sirena is a small Oceania Cruises ship carrying 684 passengers, in service since 2016.
Choose Sirena if you want a newer ship: its maiden voyage was in 2016 (vs 1999).
Nautica does not lead by a clear margin on any measure we track, so pick it for its itinerary or its dates.
