No clothes? No problem: Nude cruise to set sail from Florida next year

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — No shoes? No shirt? It's no problem for this unique cruising experience. In 2025, the ultimate nudist adventure will set sail from Florida on the "Big Nude Boat" for a 10-day voyage to the Caribbean.

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

While there will be clothes-free experiences throughout the cruise, proper nudist etiquette and other rules for passengers must be followed, such as wearing clothes inside dining rooms. Guests are also encouraged to sit on towels when bare-bottomed or wearing a thong in their stateroom, pool deck, and the buffet area.

Taking photos and videos of any passenger without their consent regardless of whether they are clothed is prohibited. "No photo zones" will also be placed throughout the Big Nude Boat, the travel company said.

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

"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," Bare Necessities website read.

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

The Big Nude Boat most recently set sail from Tampa from Feb. 25, where passengers left the cold weather behind for week-long adventure to the Caribbean.
