Payments: A deposit is required at booking. The initial payment amount can range from 25% to 100% depending upon the date of purchase. Payment in full can be made at any time by contacting Bare Necessities over the phone.

For those who choose to make regularly scheduled payments, the remaining balance after the deposit is divided into equal amounts that are each due no later than the regularly scheduled payment dates. For the 2026 Big Nude Boat cruise, the scheduled payment dates are: January 10, 2025; April 11, 2025; and July 11, 2025. By no later than January 10, 2025, at least 50% of the booking cost must have been paid. By no later than April 11, 2025, at least 75% of the booking cost must have been paid. Finally, by no later than July 11, 2025, 100% of the booking cost must have been paid. If a passenger fails to meet this payment schedule, their booking becomes past due. After 30 days of being past due, bookings will be canceled without refund or future credit.

Port taxes are estimated at $284.22 per person and due November 21, 2025. Port taxes are a good faith estimate by the cruise line and are subject to change.

Mandatory prepaid gratuities are $221.43 per person. All prepaid gratuities are also due November 21, 2025.

NCL may impose a supplemental fuel charge not to exceed $11.00 per person, per day. Any such charges will be added to the last payment installment.
