you can take naked cruises! wow...

"Not everyone likes to bundle up on vacation. Some prefer to take it all off — on nudist cruises. Bare Necessities, a nudist travel company, charters ships from lines like Windstar and Carnival for trips where a toothbrush is about all that's needed.

The cruises offer the usual activities with a twist: nude sunbathing, scuba diving and tennis, said Nancy Tiemann, president of Bare Necessities. Clothing, however, is required at dinner for health code reasons.

Tiemann, who charters about four ships each year, said the cruises' popularity has sailed.

"We're selling out 2,000 passenger cruise ships months in advance," she said. "More and more people are realizing ... the preconceived notions [people] had were unfounded — that something kinky was going on, that this was a swingers thing. This is a wholesome and fun vacation with people who aren't uptight. You can really leave your clothes and your stress behind."
