You may be wondering what a Bare Necessities cruise is like. Bare Necessities hosts their nude cruises on the most popular lines like Carnival, Paul Gauguin and Clipper Cruises. They charter the entire ship, so every passenger and every area is clothing optional (except the main dining room). Bare Necessities Travel welcomes people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, sexual orientations and age ranges to try their cruises.

The owner of Bare Necessities Travel, Nancy Tiemann was recently asked why nude? "It has been my experience that people who are able to leave their clothing behind in a social setting are also more able to check their egos at the door and be themselves, as they really are, rather than who they think others would like them to be. Of course, what happens to my vacation-mates sans clothing also happens to me. I find myself withholding less of who I am as I hide less of my body. I begin to accept myself, imperfections, and all. I can assure you, for a woman who tried for years to match the unrealistic standards of beauty set by the American advertising industry, this can be very liberating. Clothes free vacationing leads to body acceptance…your own!"
