Desire Cruise: Seductive Mediterranean Aug 2026

[DrNaked]

We are booked on our first Desire cruise and are very excited. We are really looking forward to August 2026! I noticed that there was no topic for this cruise so I through I would start one.

We booked this cruise in March at Pearl. We’re turning it into a European vacation. Hopefully the world can get its act together by then. The ports on this cruise are amazing! Looking forward to an incredible trip with an erotic adventure right in the middle!

I heard that there may be a pre cruise party in Venice. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi BBTD,

When you booked your cruise at the resort did you get any kind of a discount?

Thanks.

Perhaps someone who has experience on a Desire cruise can answer this. The first two days are in port in Trieste Italy. Does that mean there will not be nudity allowed at the pool during those first two days?

There will be nudity allowed in that port. There are only specific ports that Desire limits the nudity in (mainly Turkey). So we should be fine in Athens.

I know that the Athens Cruise is coming up and I really appreciate your response. Unfortunately I have a schedule conflict and could not join in on that one. I was asking about the Seductive Med Cruise next summer. The first two days are in Tieste Italy. It almost seems like a delayed departure where we spend the first night on the cruise ship without going anywhere. As this will be my first Desire cruise, I am excited to get to the pool and disrobe as quickly as possible. The rules say that's not allowed in port, however from reading through other posts, it seems like it should not be a big deal. I was just looking to confirm. Thanks again for any info you can offer. Warm regards!

@SheShe, we did receive a discount. I’m not sure how discounts are calculated. We met with Mariana, Cruise Concierge a couple times before signing up. We had a cabin class and a location on the ship that we wanted and a price we were willing to pay. When Mariana met our price on that cabin, we signed up. There may be fewer incentives now based on cabin availability. The itinerary looks incredible! Good luck, we hope you get on board!

No problem at all. We have done nine Desire cruises so far and are booked for all upcoming cruises but the Thailand one due to a scheduling conflict. Of all the cruises so far, Turkey has been the only port that nudity was strictly forbidden on the pool deck. All other ports were just fine for nudity (outside of the weather being bad of course).

Good morning naked cruisers! Mariana, Cruise Concierge at Desire, told us that a FB page would be established for each cruise to receive updates, meet and greet info, and locations for pre-sail parties. Does anyone know when these pages go up or how to locate them? We’re on Seductive Med, AUG 2026. Just wondering! Thanks for any info.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been waiting for someone to finally start a thread for the August sailing, I was starting to think I might be the only one booked on this cruise Glad to see I’m not alone!

My wife and I have been married for 13 years, and we booked this trip as a little adventure together. It’s our first time trying this type of cruise, so we’re really excited! but also a bit nervous and not totally sure why. Maybe it’s because we’re not native English speakers, our English is good enough to get the job done, but still, you know… the little “what if” nerves

What got us even more excited (besides the itinerary) is the ship itself. I read that it just launched a few months ago and that it’s pretty fancy with lots of cool spots and activities. Seems like the kind of ship you can happily lost around for a week.

Quick question for those who’ve done this before: do they usually have some kind of meet & greet before the cruise, or does that only happen once everyone is onboard?

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Desire always has a Meet & Greet the night before the cruise. They will announce it at least a few months before the cruise and the space is usually limited so it's important to sign up quick.
