TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Cruise ship passengers can bare all on the “Big Nude Boat,” which will set sail from Florida on a 10-day voyage to the Caribbean in 2025.


Bare Necessities Tour & Travel is taking over the Norwegian Pearl from Feb. 3 to Feb. 14. Nude passengers will visit the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Dominica, Martinique, and St. Lucia.

While there will be clothes-free experiences throughout the trip, proper nudist etiquette and other rules for passengers must be followed, such as wearing clothes inside dining rooms.

“When the ship is at sea or anchored in a port, passengers can be nude unless announcements have been made to the contrary. When the ship is docked alongside in port, all passengers must be dressed throughout the entire vessel, including balconies, until the ship leaves port and an announcement is made that nudity is again permissible,” a message on the Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website reads.

Guests will also be encouraged to sit on towels when bare-bottomed or wearing a thong in their stateroom, pool deck, and the buffet area.

Passengers won’t be allowed to take photos and videos of anyone aboard the ship without their consent, regardless of whether they are clothed or not. “No photo zones” will be placed throughout the Big Nude Boat, the travel company said.

Fondling or inappropriate touching will be off limits, as well as being nude in front of other ships in port. Lingerie and fetish wear are also not allowed.

Anyone who fails to comply with decorum and etiquette will be dismissed from the cruise.
