Welcome to Bare-adise
The sweltering hot days getting you down? Do you dream of cool breezes floating around your steaming body? Take the plunge!
This summer, nudism-focused travel company Bare Necessities Tour & Travel announced an 11-day Caribbean cruise for senior nudists on the Norwegian Pearl. Desire Cruises advertises “luxury lifestyle nude cruises” to exotic locales including the Greek Islands, the French Riviera, Rio De Janeiro, and Turkey. Temptation Cruises offers a “Red Room” where anything goes, and Bliss Cruises sails the entire Caribbean, from Mexico to Haiti to Jamaica. Plus, you can prance around the ship’s open decks, saunas, and playrooms, in the buff.
“Nudists, sometimes called naturists, embrace their nude bodies because they believe there are benefits in doing so,” website Honeymoons.com declares. “The idea is that it creates a connection between the mind, body, and the nature of the world. Naturist cruises are non-sexual, and you can walk around nearly anywhere on the ship, fully nude.”
Nude cruises for seniors usually enforce clothing requirements while at port and in the dining halls, but most bare-skinned bon voyages only require that you wear a smile.
Bare Necessities advertises. “We support the belief that sexuality is not a state of undress, but rather, a state of mind. Social nudity is not a sexual activity, and we strive to dispel the misconception that it is anything but natural and beautiful, Bare Necessities advertises.
According to healthline.com, there are many benefits for baring it all: better sleep, improved body-image and self-esteem, a happy outlook on life, and it can encourage intimacy.
Be one of the twinkling bodies in cool pools, soak in hot tubs, ride on waterslides and enjoy a movie under the stars and dance the night away. But make sure you get to dock at tropical ports with secluded beaches that don’t require attire on their shores. There, you can bask in the sun, au naturel, and get that “all around” tan you always dreamed of…
Just try not to giggle, or jiggle, when, during the mandatory muster safety drills, passengers line up wearing life jackets, and nothing else.
