A woman who tried out the 'Big Nude Boat' cruise has revealed the rules around getting naked on board.
Francelli, who vlogged her experience as part of 2,300 like-minded individuals who chose to vacation completely naked, revealed exactly what it was like.
She revealed that she stripped off as soon as she'd boarded the boat, which was departing from Miami, to make the most of every second of the experience.
On board, the nude travelers have plenty to occupy them as they float between idyllic destinations, from playing chess on the decks, doing karaoke, or catching up with other people over dinner in the evening.
Francelli added: "You can choose between going to the casino, participating in craft workshops, singing karaoke, dancing at an 80s disco night with neon lights."
Guests are also treated to theater shows with group involvement, and past cruises have even had comedians, fireworks, and fire shows on board, too.
Of course, passengers also have the option to be "naked all day and all night if [they] want," and while they may have to put on some clothing to get off the boat at the various stops, there are usually clothing-optional beaches nearby to carry on with the lifestyle on dry land.
As the voiceover explains: "At a lot of the busier ports of call, you obviously need to put clothes on before you walk straight into the busy city.
"However, there are some destinations where you could do activities totally naked, like Francelli doing snorkeling, there was also scuba diving. Or you can just hang out on a local beach and enjoy it in the buff."
As for the biggest questions people ask - yes, you can go nude almost everywhere on board.
That includes the water slides, the jacuzzi, the gift shop, and even the casino - though you do need to bring a towel to sit on if you want to bare all while sitting at a roulette table or slot machine, for hygiene reasons.
Francelli revealed that she'd had a great time on board, adding: "I'm very happy to have lived this experience because in addition to getting to know the world a little more, I was able to do it with other people who share the same nudist philosophy of normalizing the body. And I can say that I return with many more nudist friends."
While some people may never have heard of nude cruises before, the Big Nude Boat has actually been sailing for over a decade.
Their first cruise was in 2013 when they first chartered and sold out a 3,000-person ship full of nudists - which is no mean feat when the cost of the vacation tends to run between $2,000 and $5,000 a person for a basic package.
Though the vessel itself tends to vary from cruise to cruise, there is clearly an appetite for many people wishing to embrace the lifestyle - though the average age of passengers tends to skew slightly older, due to the high costs of the trip.
