A recent traveler shared his experience on a 2,000-person nude cruise organized by Bare Necessities, which departs from Tampa, Florida, and travels through Mexico and Honduras. The cruise, costing around $2,500 per person, isn’t a swingers’ event but rather a gathering for those with an interest in naturism. According to the traveler, passengers are free to remain clothed if they wish, although most choose to embrace the nude-friendly environment. There are clear guidelines on board, including a rule for clothing as the ship approaches and leaves ports.
One primary rule is carrying a towel at all times for hygiene purposes—passengers are required to sit on a towel whenever they’re nude to maintain cleanliness. Another strict guideline prohibits photography to ensure privacy; phones are discouraged outside cabins, and crew members are tasked with enforcing these rules.
The passenger highlighted the atmosphere as supportive and respectful, mentioning that he felt more comfortable here than on public nude beaches. The traveler’s experience offers a glimpse into a unique travel setting that prioritizes respect, discretion, and a relaxed approach to naturism.
