Miami's Big Nude Cruise Is Setting Sail Soon. Here's What to Expect

Get ready to pack your sunscreen — and, well, not much else.

The Big Nude Boat is setting sail from Miami next week!

The 11-day cruise, a partnership between nude cruise company Bare Necessities and Norwegian Cruise Line, will depart from Port Miami on February 3, taking bare-bummed voyagers on a trip across the Caribbean to destinations like the Bahamas, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, and St. Lucia. It returns just in time for the lovers on Valentine's Day, February 14.

Bare Necessities makes it clear that the cruise is not one large orgy. In fact, in most ways, it's still a typical Caribbean cruise experience. Just with fewer clothes.

Pricing for the cruise ranges from $2,000 for interior rooms to more than $30,000 for the most upscale accommodation on the ship, a three-bedroom garden villa. The 2,300-passenger ship will offer 16 dining options, including French, Italian, Brazilian, and Asian cuisine, 14 bars and lounges, a casino, spa, and a duty-free designer boutique.

There are some rules, of course.

All passengers must be 21 or older, and nudity is only allowed when the ship is at sea or anchored at a port (AKA no nudity allowed when the ship is docked). Passengers must also wear clothing in the dining rooms and sit on a towel or piece of clothing when not fully clothed, which is standard nudist etiquette. Lingerie, fetish wear, and photography without consent are also prohibited.

In addition, the 965-foot-long Norwegian Pearl ship will have "No Photo Zones" signs posted around the pool and in dance venues. Failure to follow the ship's rules could result in removal from the cruise without a refund or transportation from the port.

Bare Necessities, in business since 1990, has several other upcoming cruises across the globe, including one in October 2025 that sails near Australia to the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia.

The company says it works "to break down the barriers against social nudity and make clothing-optional vacationing a viable and acceptable option for all."
