If you're ready to unleash your inner free spirit, a nude cruise will be setting sail from Miami in 2025.
Unlike in Europe, being nude in the U.S. is still pretty taboo. There are plenty of nudist resorts around the country though. In fact, locally, there's a nudist community based out of Sanibel called the Sanibel Naturists. They plan events, have a private beach and are a community that embraces a lifestyle with bare-ly any clothing, if at all.
If you're ready to throw your inhibitions overboard, there's a nude cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line setting sail from Miami in February 2025.
This isn't the first cruise from Bare Necessities. They've been organizing cruises since the early 90's and normally set sail from Tampa, but moving it a little farther south this year. A journey into the Caribbean dubbed the "2025 Big Nude Boat on NCL’s Norwegian Pearl.” Ports include Great Stirrup Cay, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, San Juan and St. Lucia.
Now, if you're one that uses flamingos, pineapples or shower loofahs to send a message, this cruise may not be for you. Bare Necessities makes it very clear that this is NOT a swingers cruise, but rather a cruise where people like to live freely without the restraints of clothing.

It's amazing to me that of all the traveling I've done, I have yet to go on a cruise. I have some friends that have gone that didn't care for it, but for the most part, it's been mostly rave reviews. It's easy to see why cruising is so popular—there’s something for everyone! Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure (or both!). You can visit multiple destinations without having to worry about packing and unpacking your luggage each time you move locations. Plus, cruises offer plenty of opportunities for fun excursions and onboard events such as game shows and karaoke nights.
