welcom to America today with a new article about Nude cruise to set sail from Florida next year: Here are the starting costs, itinerary
The “Big Nude Boat” cruise, which allows passengers to bare all − yes, even at the buffet − is set to sail from Florida next year.
The “11-day adventure” to the Caribbean is set for the first two weeks of February on the Norwegian Pearl, according to the Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website.
“Bare Necessities’ newest nude cruise is a private island double-dip with a brand new travel partner!” the company wrote on its website.
Bare Necessities is taking over the Norwegian Pearl, shown here, for the Big Nude Boat cruise for 11 days next February.
The trip which embarks from Miami, includes “an exclusive visit to an idyllic private island” in The Bahamas as well a another exclusive stop on the way back to the Port of Miami.
“Two opportunities to enjoy a new slice of Bare-adise, coupled with a beautiful selection of Eastern Caribbean island stops, will make this a can’t miss Big Nude Boat experience,” the travel company posted.
Big Nude Boat cruise sailing dates and destinations:
The ship departs from the Port of Miami on Feb. 3 and returns to the same port on Feb. 14.
The itinerary includes stops at the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia.
How much does the Big Nude Boat cruise cost?
Rates for an inside cabin start at $2,000 per person.
They stretch as high as $33,155 for the top room on the ship: a Haven three-bedroom garden villa.
Laws of the land (and sea)
Guests are encouraged to park their bare behinds on towels provided on board in areas including the pool deck and the buffet area, according to the website.
“Passengers can easily follow our rule on nudist etiquette by always placing a towel down before sitting,” it reads. “Remember to pack a swimsuit; not all excursions are clothing optional.”
Nude Cruises: Exploring the Florida Coastline
Recognized by some as simply affectionately free-spirited hands while still remaining modestly sailed and, for the most part, dressed. Whether an experienced yachtsman or a first-timer, the unsuspecting visitor will be drawn to what cruising pundits like Ferenc Máté have written, that being on the water, experiencing the “isolation,” “discovery,” the “simplicity,” and the “peace” is the ultimate antidote for humans who have become highly “urban creatures,” requiring a return to the “beginning of civilization” to “come away to re-start” in a strong recovery of “recreative and recuperative energy.”
Nude cruising is not for everyone, but it offers many unexpected attractions and a liberating atmosphere that is surprising to the uninitiated. Witness the rise of nude cruises like Bare Necessities and their annual sailings through the Caribbean, or Edun Beach’s Eden Voyage from Mexico’s port of Costa Maya. The lightly populated barrier islands of Florida’s “Forgotten Coast” and the richly developed infrastructure along its rivers and sounds have continued to invite exploration, much akin to “south-sea cruising” as a pictorial record.
This narrative is part reflection on the freedom of a similarly unclad solitude afloat, where the scenery and commerce are met with astonished surprise to “have a boat like this in these environs,” and part commendation and cove-by-cove log of Florida’s charming and historically significant shoreline.
