In recent years, the number of cruise ships that provide specific services to customers has increased. One such service is “Naked Cruises”, which attracts many fans during the holiday season.
In 2023, the booming giant cruise market attracted 31.7 million passengers. While that number is expected to rise to 40 million in 2027, theme cruises and sightseeing cruises They are expanding.
The American passenger agency Bare Necessities, which provides nudist services for more than 30 years, he is now thinking about developing his work with the Big Naked Ship.
It is planned that 11-Day Discovery Nudity Adventure with the Norwegian cruise ship Pearl begins on February 3, 2025 in the port of Miami and takes passengers under the sun of Caribbean Sea.
A 60-year-old man, the son of former passengers, who has sailed through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico on the ship, tells of his experience: “They don’t board the ship naked and it is the captain who usually announces when he leaves port when you can get naked, often about thirty minutes after departure.
The ship’s 2,300 passengers must also observe certain rules: “It is prohibited to take photographs of Ekida on the deck of the ship. I felt much less anxious here than when I was on nude beaches because almost no one had a phone outside their cubicle. “In addition to the warning panels, there were also many staff on board whose job it was to monitor the implementation of the ban.”
Passengers must remain lying on the deck and elsewhere inside the ship at all times to maintain hygiene before sitting naked in the cabin. In restaurants and dining rooms it is mandatory to wear clothingespecially due to the risk of burns.
Even though people are naked, there are no sexual acts or relationships on the terrace. “There is nothing sexist in public,” says a former passenger on the ship. In fact, penile erection is considered disrespectful in this environment.
According to the travel agency, sea travel is not a place for sexual promiscuity, since social nudity is not considered a sexual activity. In addition, “lingerie, fetish clothing and excess jewelry specific to the genital areas” are prohibited on board the ship.
Kat Whitmire, who has worked on the company’s cruise ships for 25 years, says: “If [los pasajeros] When they start feeling something in their lower abdomen, we tell them to get in cold water or think about playing baseball.
It must also be taken into account, of course, that brutalism is not a popular lifestyle among young people, and that travelers are mainly older people between 50 and 70 years old.
However, he admits: “Our way of traveling, of course, is not for everyone. Not everyone knows what nudity is and that is understandable,” he said.
The only people on board the ship are the crew. “The first day of boarding always surprises the crewbut then it becomes fun for everyone,” Kat Whitmire says of them.
This cruise, of course, can be fun, but at the same time it costs money. This costs the equivalent of 1,820 euros per person in a double cabin and up to more than 30,000 euros in the largest suite on the ship.
