Ready for an unconventional cruise experience that combines the thrill of the high seas with the freedom of a clothing-optional environment?

Mark your calendars for February 2025, as Norwegian Cruise Line prepares to host a one-of-a-kind journey aboard the luxurious Norwegian Pearl.
Over an eleven-day voyage, adventurers can enjoy the sun and sea as nature intended, exploring the enchanting islands of the Caribbean from the Bahamas to St. Lucia.
Bare Necessities, a pioneer in naturist travel since 1990, is charting the course for the Big Nude Boat 2025. This special charter not only promises the liberating feel of a clothing-free holiday but also ensures all the high standards and amenities expected from a top-notch cruise experience.
Setting sail from lively Miami on February 3, 2025, the ship returns on Valentine’s Day, making this trip a perfect, romantic escapade.
With a capacity for nearly 2,400 passengers, the Norwegian Pearl promises intimacy without overcrowding, allowing you to mingle with like-minded travellers or find your own peaceful spot on the deck.
The itinerary is thoughtfully designed to suit the nudist lifestyle, with special arrangements for clothing-optional excursions. Starting and concluding with visits to Norwegian Cruise Line’s own Great Stirrup Cay, guests will enjoy exclusive access to this private paradise. Imagine zip-lining or snorkeling as freely as you wish, without the encumbrance of wet swimwear!
Beyond the Bahamas, the cruise includes stops at:
- San Juan, Puerto Rico: Immerse yourself in the rich history and lively culture of this charming American territory.
- Philipsburg, St. Maarten: Split between Dutch and French governance, this island offers eclectic shopping and gorgeous beaches.
- Roseau, Dominica: Known as the “Nature Isle,” explore lush rainforests and bubbling hot springs.
- Fort-de-France, Martinique: Experience the French flair of the Caribbean with exquisite cuisine and architectural beauty.
- Castries, St. Lucia: Conclude your island hopping with dramatic vistas, volcanic beaches, and luxurious relaxation spots.
Sea days are designated as “Nude Days,” where passengers can enjoy the ship’s amenities without clothing, feeling the sea breeze directly on their skin – a truly liberating experience!
Special events, though under wraps for now, promise to be as engaging as past cruise highlights, which have included costume parties, deck dance-offs, and talent shows. Imagine dancing under the stars, minimalistic in attire but maximal in spirit!
To ensure comfort for all, Bare Necessities and the cruise line enforce a practical clothing policy. Nudity is permissible when the ship is at sea or anchored away from port.
However, attire is required in dining areas, during docking, and also in line with specific conduct guidelines in public areas. Additional measures such as mandatory towel-use on shared seating and strict non-photo zones highlight a commitment to privacy and respect for all guests.
Accommodation ranges from snug inside cabins, available from $2,000 per person, to the opulent 3-bedroom Haven Garden Villa on Deck 14, which commands a price tag of $33,155 per person.
These diverse options ensure that whether you’re budgeting or splurging, the Big Nude Boat offers something tailor-made for your needs.
Anyone interested can contact Bare Necessities to book their place on this cruise.
