Big Nude Boat sets sail from Miami with 2,300 passengers

An 11-day nude cruise, dubbed 'The Big Nude Boat,' has set sail from Miami aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl, accommodating over 2,300 passengers. Organized by nudist travel company Bare Necessities, the cruise promises a clothing-optional experience with stops in destinations like St. Lucia and Martinique. Passengers are subject to strict rules, including mandatory clothing in indoor dining areas and the requirement to sit on towels when nude to maintain hygiene. Although nudity is allowed at sea and during outdoor dining, passengers must be dressed when the ship is docked. Prices for the cruise start at around $2,000, with some luxurious accommodations costing up to $33,000. The event aims to promote social nudity as a viable vacation option, encouraging body confidence among participants.
