The term personal space and influencer is taking on altogether different meanings as we are gearing up for a new era of social media experience. The times have taken turn towards a new form of comfortable traveling where nude cruising is gaining momentum. Forbes puts forward a story regarding this sensational phenomenon.
A New Trend
Nude cruises are another limb on the trend tree called nakations. Waving to their tame compatriots on the shores of clothing option beaches, or flashing a smile at adventurers on adults-only retreats, the nude cruisers have taken to the high seas, atop the throne of naked royalty.
Clothing Optional Vacations
One company that provides this unique travel experience is Bare Necessities Tour & Travel. Based in Austin, TX, Bare Necessities has been streaking across the water since 1991, providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for travelers open to clothing optional vacations.
Their first cruise had a bare 36 tourists on board, yet by 2013, the company had chartered the 3000-person capacity Carnival Freedom, fittingly named Big Nude Boat.
This impressive ship boasts all the expected high octane offerings, such as water slide, casino, dance club, game room, spa, restaurants and bars. The video presentation on the Bare Necessities website takes viewers on a virtual tour of the entire ship, though uses the terms funner, funnest, and funnified more times than the average grammarian can stomach. The Blue Iguana, a poolside tequila bar and cantina, becomes all the more blue when Bare Necessities charters the ship.
Yet, there’s a freedom in nude cruising, and an unfettered happiness that accompanies the au natural experience. Truthfully, how cantankerous can one be while sitting nude in a hot tub, chatting with fellow travelers holding their cocktails in their hands?
Guidelines for Nude Cruising
Bare Necessities posts a set of guidelines they entitle decorum, which seem reasonable enough. Cruisers must have a towel with them to place down on surfaces upon which they will sit, dress appropriately while dining, as well as when entering a port of call for sightseeing, and refrain from taking photos and videos in the “no photo zone” or without the permission of others.
In addition, the naked prey must refrain as well from overt and public sexual activity.
Other Cruise Liners
Another option for travelers looking to shed their clothes along with their inhibitions is Bliss Cruise, whose next cruise is scheduled for November 11-17, 2018. Comparing cruises is like comparing former lovers: though they may share certain attributes, they are memorable for different reasons. For example, like Bare Necessities, Bliss Cruise offers a rich array of restaurants, bars, clubs and lounges.
On Celebrity Silhouette, the newest ship to transport Bliss Cruise’s huddled masses, there is live entertainment, art classes, a casino, and a manicured lawn on the upper deck, which features The Lawn Club, a dining space designed for outdoor grilling at 30 knots.
Youngsters’ Friendly
However, Bliss Cruise’s Rules of Conduct, when compared to other nude cruises, seems like the more permissive parent, reading the kids the riot act while handing them the keys to the liquor cabinet. The answer lies in the term lifestyle cruise, which seems to market itself more toward the younger crowd who embody a natural penchant for decadence.
The guideline for placing a towel down on surfaces prior to sitting is the same as with other cruises, but the inclusion of a three person to a room rider does raise eye brows. If a single person wants to climb aboard the ship and enjoy the watery vistas, he/she will have to pay an additional $500. This fee does not apply if the single traveler were to accompany a couple, and even keep close quarters in that couple’s stateroom – a far cry from romantic jaunts led by Captain Stubing on the Love Boat.
For yet another adult’s only experience boasting ecstasy on the high sea, Desire Cruises will set said once again and drop anchor in the Mediterranean in 2019.
Like Bliss Cruise, Desire Cruise, whose parent company is called Original Group, is more than just a clothing optional experience for older travelers for whom curiosity is burning a hole in their bucket list. The cruises they host offer top notch dining and beverages, spa services, a clothing optional pool and erotic themed nights. According to their website, Desire Cruise invites couples to take their relationship “to the next level.” This, of course, does not refer to a higher deck on the ship.
So, no matter your threshold for the unabashed and the unfettered (or fettered if that is your kink), nude cruises continue to be an outlandish means for getting the cat and the mouse to play nicely together.
