Their website says, “The Golden Horn geographically separates the historic center of Istanbul from the rest of the city, and forms a natural, sheltered harbor that has protected Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and other maritime trade ships for thousands of years. Its name comes from the golden color of the water at sunset and because ships laden with treasures have sailed around it for centuries. This one-of-a-kind itinerary was put together especially for Bare Necessities by the wonderful folks at Star Clippers and combines the exotic of the Orient with the timeless beauty of the Greek Isles with extraordinary stops along the way. This is a cruise of a lifetime, and one that you’ll be talking about for years to come.” For more information, visit https://www.cruisenude.com/cruises

If you are considering a nude adventure, NudeVacationInfo.com offers this advice, “When choosing a nude cruise, resort or vacation, remember that there are three types of nude experiences - nudism, naturism and hedonism. Nudism is simply the enjoyment of the freedom of being nude. Naturism is an embracing of a holistic/natural (and naturally nude) life. Hedonism (also called Lifestyle) is a search for sexual experiences in a nude environment. Choose your destination according to your own beliefs and preferences.”
