A man who experienced a nude cruise with 2,000 other people has revealed what happened aboard the ship.
You might be considering going on a cruise for your next vacation - but would you ever consider a nude cruise?
The trip, organized by Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, a Texas-based company, embarked from Tampa, Florida.
Over seven days, passengers enjoyed stops in Mexico and Honduras, all while embracing the unique dress code (or lack thereof) onboard.
Of course, with such vulnerability comes some very strict rules - and one passenger happily took questions on a Reddit thread.
The anonymous passenger called the trip “awesome,” emphasizing that it was “not a swingers’ cruise or a sex-positive environment,” but rather “a crowd with lots of nudist experience.”
Tickets for the cruise, he noted, were priced at around $2,500 per person.
Participation in nudity was not mandatory, he said, explaining that “most people were nude most of the time,” but that anyone could remain clothed if they preferred.
One curious Reddit user asked about cleanliness practices onboard, specifically if passengers were required to carry a towel with them.
“Yes,” the man replied. “One must only sit with a towel under one’s bare butt. There are clean towels all over the ship.”
A key part of the cruise guidelines was a schedule for clothing-optional areas.
According to the man, the captain would make an announcement about 30 minutes after departing from each port, letting passengers know when they could disrobe.
The same protocol applied when the ship approached its next destination, with announcements guiding passengers to cover up before arrival.
Perhaps the most strictly enforced rule on the cruise was a ban on photography, a policy that the man noted was one "everyone knew".
“I was much less worried here than I have been at nude beaches,” he wrote. “Almost no one had phones with them outside their cabin.”
He further explained that there were visible reminders around the ship prohibiting photography and that staff members from the charter company actively monitored for compliance to maintain “good naturist etiquette.”
“I’ve spent time online researching nudism, and I’ve never seen a single online photograph from the cruise except for the group shots that people voluntarily pose for,” he added. “For those reasons, I wasn’t concerned.”
If this has got you interested, how about an X-rated adults-only cruise?
Temptation Cruises, a popular option in this niche, are adults-only voyages featuring designated “playrooms,” “clothing-optional” areas, and themed events to encourage guests to unwind in an open, yet regulated, environment.
While not a free-for-all, these cruises offer spaces for sexual exploration and personal freedom.
Unlike common misconceptions, Temptation Cruises aren’t “fully-blown sex parties,” but they are distinguishable from family cruises.
