The Big Nude Boat
MON, FEB 09 – FRI, FEB 20 2026
Big Nude
Boat 2026



Every February our Big Nude Boat sails the warm waters of the Caribbean to visit exotic tropical islands, historic ports full of local culture, and – with any luck – an exclusive stop at the cruise line’s private island for our bare cruisers to enjoy au naturel. It is a wonderful experience to relax on white sand under swaying palm trees wearing nothing but a smile. In fact, it is so wonderful that with the Big Nude Boat 2026 we’ve once again arranged to do it twice.
Sailing roundtrip from Miami, Florida, February 9 – 20, 2026, we’ll celebrate Valentine’s Day and Fat Tuesday during our voyage. We’ll have theme nights, workshops, and unique entertainment you’ve come to expect and enjoy on a bare cruise. Our itinerary includes the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) for world-class diving and snorkeling; the lush, vibrant island of Jamaica; and two exclusive nude beach stops at NCL’s Bahamian private island, Great Stirrup Cay.
The Big Nude Boat has become a beloved tradition, with a high percentage of repeat cruisers each year. Many passengers return to reconnect with friends made on past bare cruises, creating a warm and welcoming community atmosphere. Every Big Nude Boat offers wonderful food, entertainment, and new friendships waiting to be forged. Join us once again aboard the beautiful NCL Pearl in 2026 and create memories to last a lifetime.
At Great Stirrup Cay, unwind on white-sand beaches and explore NCL’s private island in your natural state. Snorkel with sea turtles and colorful fish in warm turquoise waters, peacefully kayak along the coastline, or soar high on a thrilling zipline adventure. Enjoy a delicious beach barbecue lunch at the complimentary Abaco Taco or Jumbey Grill, sip refreshing drinks, rent a private villa at Silver Cove, or swim with the pigs of Treasure Island. The choice is yours – do it all or simply relax in the sun.
We’ll be sailing aboard the lovely Norwegian Pearl, a 2,300-passenger ship offering abundant entertainment, open deck spaces, and diverse dining options. From comfortable interior staterooms to spacious balconies and top-of-the-line accommodations in The Haven, Norwegian Pearl caters to every style of bare cruising.
Join us for the Big Nude Boat 2026, an 11-Day adventure back to Bare-adise! As always, it’s our pleasure to provide you with the luxury of deciding what not to wear.

Join the party at the liveliest nightspots on the ship, or settle into a comfy lounge chair with a whiskey in hand at Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar. Looking for a more casual evening?
