Imagine you\u2019re on a luxury cruise, sailing the seas, seeing new cities, and you can explore your sexual desires without shame.<\/p>\n

Sounds too good to be true? Not in the world of adult cruises. On these 18+ holidays, you board the boat and have the go-ahead to let your freak flag fly.<\/p>\n

Like sex-positive swinger hotels and resorts, adult cruises are specialised charters that allow nudity<\/a>, sex, and general mischief. Plus, all your fellow travellers are on board with the idea. There are no awkward moments here.<\/p>\n

Curious? We thought so. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the world of adult cruises.<\/p>\n

What are adult cruises?<\/h2>\n

Adult cruises (also known as swingers cruises or lifestyle cruises) are a niche within the general cruise industry.<\/p>\n

Unlike your typical cruise liners, guests on these boats have all booked because they\u2019re looking for swinging experiences<\/a>, adventurous sex, or because they enjoy the nude lifestyle. Guests have open minds and a relaxed attitude when it comes to loving.<\/p>\n

While the sensual atmosphere is the main attraction of adult cruises, it\u2019s not the only element of the holiday. These cruises also stop in plenty of ports, have onboard restaurants and bars, and offer exciting entertainment and nightly shows.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the typical cruise experience with a bit of sexy fun thrown in.<\/p>\n

Adults-only cruise etiquette<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t assume adult cruises are sexual-free-for-alls. While some do allow public sex and nudity, most have rules around these behaviours, limiting them to specific times or spaces.<\/p>\n

Before you book, you should generally research and check your potential cruise\u2019s attitude to these themes. Some are more liberal than others, and you\u2019ll also get slightly different crowds at each.<\/p>\n

A great way to get accurate reviews is to search swinging cruises on Reddit. The r\/swingers forum has plenty of in-depth reviews and discussions.<\/p>\n

Also,<\/a> swinging etiquette<\/a> still applies to these cruises.<\/p>\n

Curious couples tend to mark their rooms with pink flamingos or upside-down pineapples to signal their interest in sexual play. You should also be courteous and ask for consent before touching anyone.<\/p>\n

Like at sex parties,<\/a> many passengers on these cruises don\u2019t end up having wild group sex. It does happen, but it\u2019s not guaranteed. Instead, some people prefer to watch others or bask in the open atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Is public sex allowed on adult cruises?<\/h2>\n

This is the number one question about adults-only and swingers<\/a> cruises.<\/p>\n

In general, the answer is no – you can\u2019t have sex in public areas. Intercourse should always take place in guest rooms. This is why getting to know other guests is important, or marking your cabin with a pineapple or flamingo.<\/p>\n

Some cruises come equipped with playrooms<\/a> and designated areas where you can have sex. These tend to be open in the evenings and aren\u2019t in the open to give guests some privacy.<\/p>\n

Sexual contact isn\u2019t usually allowed in public areas or pools. However, light petting or kissing is generally allowed.<\/p>\n

When it gets hot and heavy, it\u2019s time to head to your cabin!<\/p>\n

Do you have to be naked on adult cruises?<\/h2>\n

Some adult-only cruises are advertised as nudist cruises. Even on these voyages, nudity isn\u2019t mandatory. However, most guests will let it all hang out, as this is the reason they\u2019ve booked the cruise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to you whether you cover up or bare all!<\/p>\n

Like nude beaches<\/a>, you should be courteous to other guests. If you see a naked passenger, don\u2019t stare or point! It\u2019s also vital to note that nudity isn\u2019t consent<\/a>. You can\u2019t touch someone without asking.<\/p>\n

Nudity is usually allowed while sailing and by the pools. The rules might change for formal evenings or as you approach a port, as for the latter, you can\u2019t be naked in front of members of the public.<\/p>\n
