When the subject of nude cruises is raised, as it has been a couple of times before this at cruisingdoneright.com, there’s a natural tendency to get cute with phraseology and double-entendres.<\/p>\n

You know…there’s nothing to sea…turn the other cheek to a rude nude…buff in a boat…nakationing…sunscreen mandatory, clothing optional…<\/p>\n

As people who take them will readily say, their cruises are not going away. They’re \"Nude<\/a>growing. They used to be categorized as one-off theme cruises that occupied part of a cruise ship. Not any more.<\/p>\n

In November, a “Bliss Cruise” will occupy the Celebrity Silhouette<\/a>, a Solstice Class<\/i> ship that carries 2,886 passengers. On this cruise, all but 2,886 of them will be wearing clothes. The whole ship has been booked and the cruise is 80 per cent sold, six months in advance, through Bliss Management<\/a> in Florida.<\/p>\n

Next February, “The Big Nude Boat” cruise will be on the Celebrity Constellation<\/a>, which carries 2,170 passengers. It’s an annual event booked by Bare Necessities<\/a> in Texas, a company currently offering six nude cruises on a variety of ships, including the Carnival Miracle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most astounding statistic in this phenomenon is that 70 per cent of nude cruisers come back for another cruise, compared to 62 per cent of cruisers wearing more than sunscreen, and that in 23 years the seas have gone from hosting one nude cruise to 45.<\/p>\n

The best one-liner came from Orlando Sun Sentinel<\/a> writer Arlene Satchell:<\/p>\n

“Well, this certainly makes packing easier.”<\/p>\n
