Did family Tiki cruise. We had our grandchildren, ages 10 & 12. We had a wonderful time and kids had great fun. It was a perfect family activity! Highly recommend🏆👍 Anna Murphy

We had such an amazing date night thanks to our new friends Cruisin' Tikis. We highly recommend Crusin Tikis for couples and families too. You can watch the sunset or take the day cruise. Experiencing the views from the water is unforgettable. Our captain was super welcoming as well as all of the staff and owners. Thanks again! Sappily Married

Wonderful time had by all. Lots of laughter and a little alcohol! Vicki Freeling

Naked cruise to sail from Miami in 2025

MIAMI (Gray News) - A nudist adventure awaits with the Big Nude Boat cruise scheduled to sail from Florida next year.

Bare Necessities Tour and Travel announced its newest nude cruise will be the Norwegian Sky cruise ship out of Miami.

The Big Nude Boat 2025 cruise will be a 10-day trip taking travelers to the Caribbean with scheduled stops that include the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and St. Lucia.

Bare Necessities said it will be taking over the Norwegian Pearl from Feb. 3 to Feb. 14, 2025.

According to the cruise itinerary , clothes-free experiences will be planned throughout the trip including nude beach days on private islands and nude days at sea.

But there will also be proper nudist etiquette and other rules for guests on board that include no photo zones around the pool area and dance venues, according to the cruise’s policies .

The travel company recommended that passengers bring some sort of casual clothing for the times they need to dress, along with a swimsuit as not all excursions will be clothing optional, but lingerie or fetish wear will not be an acceptable form of clothing on board.

The Big Nude Boat 2025 cruise tickets are currently on sale with prices starting at $2,000 for double occupancy.

Information about costume parties and onboard events is expected to be released at a later date.

10. 42’ Sea Ray Sundancer : A home cooked meal is nice but a candlelit dinner on this 42 footer, with the flashing lights of the Miami Observation Wheel, is just — wow. Favorite this boat
