Swinger Cruise: The Good, Bad And Ugly About Swinging At Sea

Is a Swinger Cruise right for you?

Think about your perfect vacation. Usually there is some sort of pristine beach, clear warm ocean waters and nothing to do all day except relax and enjoy. Sounds pretty good, no?

Well, what if your ideal vacation involves watching Xena the Warrior Princess go down on her cute little concubine? What if you not only want to watch Xena and all her friends, but actually participate in the festivities? Then you, friends, definitely want to look into taking a swinger cruise.

Taking a swinger cruise can be just what the doctor ordered. Often, many of the traditional resorts sound like they cater to the lifestyle, but, often, it only seems that way on paper. The reality is that it’s more resort than swing.

With a swinger cruise, especially one where every passenger is in the lifestyle, you’re going to find a much more open and adventurous setting.

We don’t want you to think that any swinger cruise you take you’ll be buck naked from the second you hit the deck. In fact, they don’t necessarily work that way. However, there is plenty of time for couples to have more than their share of naughty fun together, with other couples or in a more voyeuristic manner.

There is plenty of fun to be had on a swinger cruise and we hope to inform you about all aspects, the good and the bad, of deciding to take your sexual adventures on the open sea on a swinger cruise.

What to Expect

Let’s start off with exactly what you can expect to see and experience on your swinger cruise. For starters, there will be plenty of sex. How and when and where are determined by the cruise company themselves.

Many of these cruises have designated areas where you can be naked or engage in sexual activity. While it is as wild and exciting as you might imagine it to be, a swinger cruise isn’t just a nonstop orgy that ancient Rome would be proud of.

Every swinger cruise has it’s own set of rules that must be followed. The basic protocols of any swinger encounter always apply; however, with a swinger cruise, there are more specific rules.

For example, nudity is encouraged but, on some cruises, you might not be able to just walk around naked everywhere. Many have areas where nudity is permitted and areas where it is not. It’s important to familiarize yourself with all the rules before you board the ship.

Theme Rooms / Entertainment

One of the coolest additions to many of the swinger cruises is the themed play rooms they offer to their guests. On any other cruise, these might serve as a conference room or something similar. On a swinger cruise, these are transformed into playgrounds for people to enjoy one another.

Want to live out one of your bondage fantasies? How about private rooms in the open air under the stars? Many swinger cruises have a dungeon style room and a multitude of other sensual options just for safe and erotic play.
Along with the play rooms, swinger cruises also have many other nightly costume themes and well-known entertainers as well.

Different Types of Cruises

Every company offers something different. In general, there are cruises where everyone on the boat is in the lifestyle, or at least open minded. A swinger cruise like this is called a takeover cruise.

Bliss Cruise is probably the most popular and well known of the takeover type of cruise. Basically, they offer 3-4 different cruises each year for swinger couples only. In actuality, any couple could book one of these cruises but you won’t find a bunch of single men roaming the ship.

Luxury Lifestyle Vacations is another popular takeover cruise and lifestyle travel company. Their Mediterranean cruise offers the best of both worlds. You get an excellent tour of southern Europe with the security of knowing that there are only like minded couples on this swinger cruise.

Couples Cruise also offer the takeover experience and have some exotic locations as well as many couples looking to have their own erotic swinger cruise experience.

Other cruises are less of a full takeover swinger cruise and more of a clothing optional type of cruise. On these cruises, there is still a fair amount of erotic fun but it’s much more tame than a takeover cruise.

On these cruises you’ll have couples in the lifestyle and couples who are just more “free spirits” with a live and let live attitude. The drawback to this type of cruise is that finding other couples can be a little more difficult since the cruise directors aren’t as interested in trying to get couples together.

Classes

As we mentioned above, not every moment of the day is spent frolicking naked. However, just because you’re not having sex doesn’t mean that they will let it drift from your thoughts.

Many cruises offer classes and workshops that are designed to enhance your own skills and pleasurable experiences in the bedroom. From classes on bondage to tantric sex, you won’t want to miss some of the learning opportunities offered.

Another added bonus is that some of these classes also serve as meet and greet experiences where you can meet other couples who are interested in the same sexual adventures that you are on your swinger cruise.

There are many options available for people looking to take an enjoyable and sexually fulfilling swinger cruise. All you need is an open mind and open calendar. If you prefer the land over the sea then check out our article "Planning a Swinger Vacation".
