Going Topless is making a comeback!

Virgin Voyages said they were going to shake things up and make a splash upon entry into the cruise space and here’s one way they are doing it!

The Majority of Cruise Lines have rules in place against topless sunbathing.

“Most major cruise lines that cater to North Americans do not permit topless sunbathing onboard their ships. Carnival has gotten rid of its special sun decks, and Norwegian states clearly in its Guest Conduct Policy that "topless sunbathing is not permitted." Royal Caribbean and Celebrity are a bit more vague, claiming their policies vary by cruise ship, itinerary and sailing date. Cunard stipulates that "should you wish to sunbathe topless, this be done on the privacy of your own balcony." Source

Virgin Voyages flagship, Scarlet Lady now welcomes guests to go topless if they choose to do so at “The Perch”.

This hidden sun deck area is located on deck 16.

Due to the lack of signage guests aboard the MerMaiden Voyage ask for clarification through Virgin’s text messaging service (through the app) to Sailor Services.

Three hours later Sailor services responded that this was in fact permitted and allowed on the adults-only cruise line even though there is no signage permitting it.

Perhaps we will see signage later added to avoid confusion.

If you are ready to sunbathe without any tan lines you are welcomed to abandoned your top altogether on the newest cruise line currently sailing from North America!
