The first cruise of 300 like-minded naturists unlocked a travel niche that has grown ever since. She was chartered by Bare Necessities – a US-based nude travel company that pioneered nude cruising almost 30 years ago.

We joined 218 fellow passengers aboard the Royal Clipper – a 440-foot schooner which, with five masts and 42 sails, is indeed a regal sight. This was the most perfect, natural way to start the day and we would experience the same sensation each day for the next 12 days as we sailed on the world’s largest square rigger around the Mediterranean – in the nude. I hope they mean something to other people too.Aside from a little nudity, little separates a naturist cruise from any other type of cruise © Chris Moore / Lonely Planet They helped me understand people and allowed me to connect with them over the years. 'All these subjects and moments mean so much to me. They could just be sitting on the school steps smoking a cigarette or they could be hanging out of a car door waving their hands and saying, ‘This is the last day of school and I’ll never come back here again!’ They could be jumping in the air with excitement because of the music they’re listening to or they could be like one of my all-time favorites Priscilla – the little girl smoking at Jones Beach – who expresses something about girlhood as well as something about a certain kind of maturity and experience.' 'I have always tried to capture these very personal moments, in an honest way, to show people doing exactly what they’re doing. 'I never had any agenda with my photography – it was never a money-making thing, it was just about connecting with young people – and so I think my photographs have a sort of authentic or genuine quality that a lot of people seem able to relate to,' Joseph told Huck Magazine.
