For your next getaway, imagine lounging in the sun on a deck – without needing to worry about tan lines.

The 2025 Big Nude Boat cruise, where clothing is optional, will depart from Miami, Florida to the Caribbean this coming Monday. While it may be too late to book for this year, you can still reserve a spot for the 2026 voyage.

“Every February, we set sail on the Big Nude Boat, cruising through the warm Caribbean to visit stunning islands, culturally-rich historic ports, and – if fortune smiles on us – we’ll drop anchor at the cruise line’s exclusive private island for our naked voyagers to unwind naturally,” states Bare Necessities Tour & Travel on their site.

When will the 2026 Big Nude Boat cruise happen?

This 11-night journey will embark round-trip from Miami on February 9, 2026, aboard the Norwegian Pearl operated by Norwegian Cruise Line. This ship has the capacity to host around 2,300 guests sharing cabins, according to Norwegian’s official site.

What can guests look forward to?

Cruisers will explore destinations such as Curacao, Aruba, Jamaica, and several others, with two stops at Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay.

Participants – who must be at least 21 years old by the time of departure – can freely move about in many areas of the ship without attire, including the buffet. However, modesty is required at specific times, like when the ship is docked or while dining in the formal dining areas.

“Please remember to use a towel when seated while nude, in a G-string, thong, or whenever you’re bottomless,” the guidelines state. The cruise company also emphasizes that this is not a swinger cruise.

“Bare Necessities cruises are not intended for those seeking sexual experiences,” the website clarifies. “If swinging is what you’re after, then we may not be the right option for you.”

What are the costs for the Big Nude Boat cruise?

Prices for the 2026 cruise begin at $2,000 per person based on double occupancy, as noted on their website. The charter fees for the ship include a range of meals onboard, as well as beverages like coffee, juice, and tea.

“As always, we are delighted to offer you the comfort of choosing what to leave off,” Bare Necessities Tour & Travel mentions.
