9 nights from/to Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida
January 25 – February 3, 2019
Carnival Cruises Carnival Sunshine
The 'Big Nude Boat 2019' is back and bigger than ever! We’ll embark from Port Canaveral, FL and make our way to the Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, and Isla Roatán for an unforgettable 9 days bare cruise. Set sail with 3,000 new friends aboard the Carnival Sunshine! On Bare Necessities cruise we charter the entire ship so everyone on board may be clothes-free!
We embrace the wide diversity of people that are attracted to social nude recreation. We welcome people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicites, sexual orientations, and age ranges.
By joining us on a Bare Necessities cruise, you are not forced to become a nudist and we do not ask you to label yourself as such. Bare vacationing is about you. It’s about how you feel, it’s about being comfortable in your own skin, and it’s about seeing the world in a whole new way. All we do is provide you with the opportunity to go bare. How bare? That’s up to you.
We encourage you to forget what you think you know about bare vacationing and join us for the experience of a lifetime. We promise you’ll leave a different person than you were when you started.
When you shed your clothing, you’re also shedding all of the labels that society has given you. How much money you make, what you look like, and your sexual orientation, just to name a few, are not on the table. Bare Necessities is a safe place for you to be yourself and to be free from judgment.
You don’t need to be part of a couple to join us! You can room with a friend, go single, or we’ll help you to find a roommate! Any way you want to join us, we’ll be glad to have you.
One of the best things about cruising with Bare Necessities are the connections you make. There’s something about being physically bare around people that allows you to more easily bare your soul. Walls are brought down, and genuine relationships are formed. Fun fact: 75% of first-time bare cruisers come back for more!
Is the entire cruise ship clothing free? When do I need to be clothed?
Onboard of our ship there are only three situations that require clothing:
• While docked in port.
• In the main and specialty dining rooms.
• At the Captain’s Gala Cocktail Party.
While in port and in the dining rooms, casual attire such as shorts and T-shirts are acceptable, but lingerie, fetish wear, robes are prohibited. Otherwise, you may be nude throughout the ship morning, noon, and night.
Your Ship - Carnival Sunshine
Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun. There's plenty to find atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun.
Visit the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival WaterWorks, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide.
There's also SportSquare, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse SkyCourse high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.
When you're on your Carnival Sunshine cruise, step out of the sun and try out some shade (and it's some pretty cool shade, at that). The first thing you'll see is the Sunshine Atrium... and let's just say first impressions count. From there, check out dining options — this ship has everything under the Carnival sun — like Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse and JiJi Asian Kitchen.
Some of the greatest Carnival bars are here: RedFrog Pub, BlueIguana Tequila Bar, SkyBox Sports Bar and Alchemy Bar... plus the already-classic Havana Bar!
You'll enjoy musical revues from Playlist Productions, while Hasbro, The Game Show gets cruisers like you up on stage, competing in larger-than-life family favorites come to life.
When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine, fun at sea is guaranteed.

Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida
Kick off your fun-packed holiday in Port Canaveral and explore the attractions nearby. Lunch with an astronaut at the Kennedy Space Centre, surf off the white sand beaches of the stunning Space Coast or enjoy Orlando’s famous theme parks. For nature lovers there’s kayaking with manatees, spotting alligators, otters and waterfowl on the Black Point Wildlife Drive or dolphin watching in Indian River Lagoon.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
Half Moon Cay, our private island for a day, is located on 45 acres of the 2,400 acre Little San Salvador island in the Bahamas. Half Moon Cay is our own private island for the day. Feel free to go bare while you enjoy the pristine crescent-shaped beach, private cabanas, interior lagoon, and all manner of water sports and activities.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Ocho Rios is a town located on the northern coast of Jamaica in the Saint Ann parish. Ochos Rios translates to “Eight Rivers,” but is widely recognized as a misnomer considering there are not eight rivers in the area. Be sure to visit Columbus Park, the spot where Columbus first arrived on land, located just outside the city. You can also swim with dolphins at Dolphin Cove and see Fern Gully, a 3-mile gorge covered in over 500 species of fern that resulted from an earthquake in 1907.
Mahogany Bay, Roatan (Honduras)
Our stop in Mahogany Bay on Roatán Island is exclusive to the Carnival Sunshine! In-the-know cruisers love Roatan, Honduras, for its lush, untouched beauty, its wildlife and marine life. Cruise ships visiting Roatan dock at Mahogany Bay, where cruisers can ride the famous "Magical Flying Beach Chair" to reach Mahogany Beach. That's just one of the many ways to enjoy this beautiful Caribbean outpost.
Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel is a Caribbean island off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Playa Del Carmen. Cozumel is best known for its sublime scuba diving and snorkeling destinations, as well as its pristine beaches. If you’re all beached out, spend some time exploring Plaza Central’s shops and fish market.
The do’s & don’ts of bare cruising!
We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and judgment-free atmosphere on each one of our chartered cruises.
• All passengers must be dressed any time the ship is in port or the Captain announces that clothing is required. Announcements will only be made when the ship is entering a port.
• All passengers must be dressed for meals in the dining room and if they choose to attend the Captain’s Cocktail Party.
• Lingerie is not considered appropriate dining room attire. Fetish wear, including excessive genital jewelry, is not appropriate at any time.
• Please do not sit nude on the ship furnishings. Towels will be provided throughout the ship.
• No photographs, video, or electronic images of any person may be taken without the express consent of that individual. People found taking photographs in the designated “NO PHOTO ZONES” on board our ship charters face confiscation of their photo capturing equipment and dismissal from the cruise at the next port of call.
• Overt sexual activity or any solicitation for such activity is strictly prohibited.
• Passengers must comply with US law regarding the possession or use of illegal substances.
Bare Necessities also complies with the cruise line’s regulations, including the right to dismiss persons from the cruise for abusing alcohol and/or drugs, sexual solicitation or overt sexual acts, and for not complying with the laws of the country we are visiting. There are no refunds for such a dismissal nor is transportation provided from the port of dismissal.
What is the proper etiquette aboard your cruises?
Proper etiquette onboard a Bare Necessities Cruise is not any different from proper etiquette in any other social situation: use common sense.
Is formal wear required at any time?
Casual attire is acceptable at all times. This includes at the Captain’s reception.
Are there theme nights on the cruise?
In addition to Captain’s Night and an opportunity to participate in a passenger talent show, Bare Necessities traditionally offers additional events on the Big Nude Boat. Some past examples are: FantaSEA-FEST, Nudapalooza, Naked Man, and Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball.
