History
AI-generatedMS Nautica was originally built as R Five for Renaissance Cruises before the company's bankruptcy following the September 11 attacks. After being laid up and subsequently chartered to Pullmantur Cruises, the ship was acquired by Oceania Cruises in 2005 and renamed Nautica. The vessel notably encountered Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden in 2008, successfully evading the attackers despite being fired upon eight times.
