Visit the trendy Art Deco district of South Beach, Calle Ocho in Little Havana, and the upscale neighborhoods of Coconut Grove and Coral Gables. Take a day trip to experience the unique ecosystem of the Everglades, or work on your all-over tan at nearby Haulover Beach, one of Florida’s best-known clothing-optional beaches.

Day 2
Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas
Get ready for some nude fun in the sun during our first stop at Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island. Enjoy the freedom to swim, sunbathe, and relax au naturel. Swim with dolphins or pigs, snorkel with exotic fish, zipline or just stroll the white sand beaches in your preferred state of dress (or undress). This island offers lots of activities and classic beachside fare such as burgers, hot dogs, and BBQ chicken served at several grills and bars, plus a newly added taco shack and food truck.

Day 5
Willemstad, Curacao
Curaçao is one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets, with acclaimed diving, outdoor activities, and tasty local cuisine. The island is a true Dutch treat with numerous uncrowded beaches, a beautiful harbor, and a diverse heritage spanning a multitude of cultures. The capital city of Willemstad is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its colorful Dutch architecture, roster of museums, monuments, and landmark floating pedestrian bridge. Always warm, with a steady trade wind, Curaçao’s motto is “We have it all, it is just a matter of finding what you are looking for.” We have scheduled a late departure to give passengers an opportunity to experience Curaçao’s nightlife as well.

Day 6
Kralendijk, Bonaire
Welcome, or as they say in Bonaire – Bon Bini! This small island has consistently ranked as the finest snorkeling and scuba diving destination in the Caribbean. A major reason for this is the island’s diligent stewardship of its marine resources. All of the waters off Bonaire’s coast have been legally protected since 1979, and it shows. The island is blessed with unsurpassed natural beauty. From the depths of the pristine waters to the height of the tallest peak, there is plenty to do here. Bonaire is home to an amazing assortment of wildlife, including a flamingo breeding ground. We’ve arranged to stay later in port, so there will be plenty of time to explore this island.

Day 7
Oranjestad, Aruba
Aruba is “One Happy Island”. This desert island boasts near-perfect weather year-round and offers some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Relax on miles of white, sugary sand and float in the turquoise sea. When you tire of lazing on the beach, there’s snorkeling, windsurfing, or shopping at the hundreds of charming stores and boutiques in Oranjestad. The rugged beauty of this island is like no other. There is quite a variety of activities to enjoy, including historical tours, unique architecture and exhibits, world-class fishing, diving, and great entertainment.

Day 9
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Renowned for its lush waterfalls and rainforests, this destination is what everyone pictures when they think of a tropical island. Explore numerous cascades at the famous Dunn’s River Falls or zip line over the rainforest jungle canopy. Looking for an amazing beach day? Ocho Rios has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the Caribbean. While you’re there, try some of the local delicacies such as spicy jerk chicken and dance to some of the legendary reggae music that originated in Jamaica.

Day 11
Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas
If you missed the chance to zip line, enjoy a cabana, or reserve a villa at Silver Cove, our second stop at NCL’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay, will provide the opportunity. Experiencing this beautiful private island in the nude is the perfect way to begin and end our Big Nude Boat 2026.

The do’s & don’ts of bare cruising!

What are the clothing guidelines and nudist etiquette rules during the cruise?
To assure that cruise lines continue to support our charters and that we all enjoy a wonderful, stress-free, clothes-free experience, we ask passengers to please observe the following common-sense guidelines of decorum on board our cruise:

• When the ship is at sea or anchored in a port, passengers can be nude unless announcements have been made to the contrary. When the ship is docked alongside in port, all passengers must be dressed throughout the vessel, including balconies, until the ship leaves port and an announcement is made that nudity is again permissible.

• The self-serve buffet is a clothes-free area. Clothing is required for all meals taken in the dining rooms. Casual attire is fine in all of these venues. Bathrobes are not permitted in the dining room. When in doubt as to what is appropriate attire, simply confirm that breasts, bottoms and genitalia are fully covered by clothing that is not considered to be fetish-wear or lingerie.

• Lingerie, fetish-wear, and excessive genital jewelry are not appropriate at any time.

• Please sit on a towel at all times while nude, in a G-string, thong, or any time you are bare-bottomed. A fresh beach towel will be provided in your stateroom each day for that purpose. Stacks of smaller towels will be placed throughout the ship outside of common areas in case you arrive without one.

• No photographs, videos or electronic images of any person may be taken without the express consent of that individual. “NO PHOTO ZONES” around the pools or in dance venues must be followed to avoid confiscation of photo capturing devices.
