A nude cruisegoer has opened up about his experiences on board whilst detailing how freeing sailing the seven seas can be.
Like it says on the tin, a nudist cruise is populated by adults who seriously feel at ease in the buff.
However, these trips aren’t tailored towards those who are looking to revitalise their sex lives - there are specific swingers cruises for that.
In fact, there are some pretty strict rules on a nude trips and one Reddit user has taken the time to reveal all.

An anonymous man has recently taken to the social media platform to allow guests insight into his wild week away.
Writing on an ‘Ask Me Anything’ thread, the tourer said he and his female partner boarded a 2,000-person nude cruise in Tampa, Florida and spent around $2,500 (£1,965) each on the luxury seven-day getaway.
The trip, organised by Texas-based charter company Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, saw the traveller and his companion visiting countries such as Mexico and Honduras.
He claimed that after departing from a city’s port, the ship’s captain would wait 30 minutes before giving the green light for passengers to take their clothes off.

"Same, in reverse, going into port,” he explained.
Curious users soon flocked to the comments section and questioned the man on what other rules he had to adhere to.
One Reddit user asked: “Do you carry a towel everywhere you go? It seems rather gross to have multiple naked sweaty bodies sitting or laying on everything that everyone uses.”

In reply, the anonymous man typed: “Yes. One must only sit with a towel under one’s bare butt. There are clean towels all over the ship.”
He also told another user: “Shoes were required walking around the boat, although some folks went barefoot nonetheless.
“Of course, one could be barefoot on beach chairs and in the pools. Unless you were dressed up for dinner, everyone was in flip flops or sandals.”

The traveller also admitted that passengers were naked ‘most of the time’ except when they entered a particular part of the ship.
“However, since one has to dress to go to the main dining room, there were always many clothed people at and after dinner time,” he explained on the thread.
After being probed about mobile phone usage and privacy, the man said: “Absolutely. No one was carrying their phones around.
“This was a crowd with lots of nudist experience. Everyone knows you can’t take pictures of other people.

“I was much less worried here than I have been at nude beaches. Almost no one had phones with them outside their cabin.
“There were many signs posted. There were a lot of staff from the charter company whose job it was to enforce good naturist etiquette.”
Meanwhile, the tourist was forced to tackle a question relating to sexual arousal.
“What was the rule for b*ners,” one person bravely asked, with the original poster replying: “As I said above, this is something that nonnudists worry about a lot more than nudists.
“I’ve been a nudist for ten years and I’ve almost never seen one.”
He added that since the cruise wasn’t a ‘sex-positive event’, the man would be ‘expected to conceal it’.
