Going off the Grid – People are looking to escape from reality, switch off and experience life with only the Bare Necessities. We offer a chance for a natural reset; to disconnect from your everyday lives – not only by putting away your mobile devices, but also by putting aside your clothes. Our cruises allow you to get back to basics and experience the world as Mother Nature intended.

Out of the Comfort Zone – More are seeking unique holidays that shock, surprise and delight. Those cruising bare for the first time can ease into it; after all, it is clothing optional. Once you experience it, you can’t imagine cruising any other way. Bare Necessities has been the Pioneers of Bare Cruising for over 30 years and provide guests the luxury of deciding what NOT to wear!

Extended Stays – When the travel industry paused, it meant having to put our travel plans on hold. For some, the desire to travel and take longer more meaningful trips to one-of-a-kind destinations has lingered in the back of their mind and they are ready to take the plunge. Our Big Nude Boat 2023 satisfies that desire with a two-week one-of-a-kind itinerary. Don’t miss it!

Nostalgic Getaways – Some are searching for locations with themes that harken back to their youth.The upcoming cruise allows you to relive your youth by skinny dipping like you did as a kid and our theme nights “Sailing through the Decades” offers the chance to celebrate your favorite eras by dressing up in period clothing or accessories from the 20’s, 50’s 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Mindfulness Holidays – More people are searching for a chance to reconnect with themselves as well as others while on vacation.
