Norwegian Cruise Line will team up with a nudist travel company to present a naked cruise. Packing should be quick and easy.

The travel company that will partner with Norwegian cruise line is called Bare Necessities. The cruise, dubbed "The Big Nude Boat", will be for 11 days and is leaving out of Miami on the Norwegian Pearl. It will travel to the Caribbean and it will leave sometime in February 2025. Destinations and ports of call include the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and St. Maarten.

"Our mission is to provide relaxing, entertaining and health-conscious vacation opportunities that offer non-threatening, natural environments where the appreciation, wonder and compatibility of nature and the unadorned human form can occur," says Bare Necessities.

"As always, it's our pleasure to provide you with the luxury of deciding what NOT to wear," says a message on the official website for Bare Necessities.

Bare Necessities has previously chartered over 75 full-ship nude cruises.

Cabins range in price from $2,000 for double occupancy all the way up to more than $33,000 for a three-bedroom villa. Passengers are still expected to follow certain rules, including the wearing of clothes inside the dining rooms. Fondling each other and touching is prohibited and all passengers must wear clothing in front of other ships in port.

Lingerie, "fetish wear" and taking photos or videos of other cruisers without their consent is banned by Bare Necessities.
