A First for Cruising?

Any takers? eWaterway's are searching for 22 brave, open minded holidaymakers to strip off for a seven night naked cruise starting August next year. Unfortunately I am busy the whole of August , and will make myself busy on any future dates if the cruise is successful, but if you are willing and able, why not? The cruise will be going along the Croatian coast and visiting “the island of love” or as we know it Rab (where?) as well as Zadar and various other Croatian ports of call.....


I'm open minded as the next person, but I can imagine it would be no mean feat to switch sell Fred Olsen passengers onto a Naturist cruise. However, I'm sure Naturists do come in all shapes, sizes and ages, so it might not be as far fetched as you think. According to the London based tour operator it expects the cruise to appeal to a variety of European nationalities  but particularly Germans, as they are “really into naturism”. Stereotyping aside, I'm sure this will will be a successful cruise, they are only looking for 22 people and with prices starting from £495 per person, this would be attractive to the wallet too.

Although we are not looking at a Freedom class ship here, the vessel does feature a bar, a spacious sun deck and a small restaurant, which will be serving traditional Croatian cuisine. Which means you have everything at your fingertips. Just think of the packing, all you need to remember is your sun cream, toiletries and your clothes for the plane, ( I don't think staff at Heathrow, allow passengers to board flights in their birthday suits. Puts the children off their dinner apparently)! On a serious note, eWaterways have said  that,  passengers will get undressed for swimming and sunbathing, but will be fully clothed on the evening, so no need to worry about being put off your dinner.The ship is relatively small, and looks more like a Schooner that a cruise ship, but that is probably part of the appeal. It does however have an engine, so you are not relying on old fashioned wind power alone.

Any questions please contact me, you never know, if this catches on, 2020 may be the year that P and O launch its first nude cruise on Ventura. 3000 naturists may be a lot harder to find that 22 though.
