Don’t Be Shy: Nude Cruise Setting Sail From Sunny Florida
The Miami Herald says the Norwegian Cruise Line is making headlines for announcing they are doing a nude cruise in 2025. It is going to depart from Miami.
The 11-day trip is being called, the 2025 Big Nude Boat on NCL’s Norwegian Pearl. It will depart Miami on February 3, 2025. Stops include Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Castries, St. Lucia. Tickets will go on sale in August. Reservations must be made through Bare Necessities.
The organizer of the cruise says it is not a swinger cruise, but rather for naturists.
The cruise costs $1,200. Guests can’t wear bathrobes, fetish wear, genital jewelry, or lingerie while in public on the cruise. The boat has also a No Photo Zone.
Bare Necessities is the group organizing the trip. They say the trips are for naturists, not kinky adventurers. Ken Tiemann, chief operating officer for the Austin, Texas-based Bare Necessities said “We try to stay pure to the values of the American Association of Nude Recreation. We’re not a lifestyle or a swinger cruise. There is a little bit of confusion. Those types of hedonistic cruises certainly do exist, but they are really lifestyle cruises and comprise a different category
I would think that you must bring some clothes for the stops at different ports. I have been to the Bahamas and nobody was walking around naked. Maybe half-naked, but not totally naked.
So if you’re interested, I’d suggest you bring lots of sunscreen and little clothing.
