Calling all sun seekers and naturists! Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is making waves with a brand new concept for 2025: a nude cruise aptly named “The Big Nude Boat.” This unique voyage promises an 11-day “Bare-adise” adventure, setting sail on February 3rd and returning on February 14th, 2025.
Cruising In Comfort (With Certain Exceptions)

The cruise will take passengers on a sun-soaked journey aboard the Norwegian Pearl, a luxurious vessel with a capacity of 2,300 guests. While not entirely clothing-optional, the cruise offers designated areas where passengers can shed their inhibitions and bask in the sunshine au naturel.
It’s important to note that “The Big Nude Boat” isn’t completely clothing-free. NCL has implemented specific guidelines to ensure a comfortable and respectful experience for all passengers. Clothing will still be required for certain occasions, including the Captain’s welcome reception, while docked in ports of call, and during meals in the main and speciality dining areas.
For the nude-friendly zones, which include the pool deck, sundecks, and specific sections of the buffet area, passengers will need to use towels when lounging or sitting on chairs. Additionally, there’s a clear ban on public displays of nudity in front of other ships while docked, and of course, any inappropriate touching or behaviour is strictly prohibited.

The itinerary promises to be equally enticing, with the Norwegian Pearl whisking passengers away to a selection of idyllic destinations. Imagine topping up your tan on the pristine beaches of the Bahamas, or exploring the lush landscapes of private islands, all while embracing the freedom of naturism.
NCL emphasizes a “common sense” approach onboard, reminding passengers that proper cruise etiquette remains paramount. After all, respectful behaviour is just as essential when clothed as it is when unclothed.
Prices for “The Big Nude Boat” start at a budget-friendly $2,000 (INR ₹1,67,027) for a standard two-person cabin, while those seeking ultimate indulgence can opt for the three-person “garden villa” at $33,155 (₹27,68,896). Regardless of your chosen accommodation, this cruise promises an unparalleled experience for those who enjoy naturism and a touch of adventure.
