Gay cruise with nude passengers barred from St. Kitts
A cruise ship carrying mostly American gay and nudist passengers was temporarily stopped and prevented from entering the Caribbean country of St. Kitts and Nevis this week.
A Windjammer Barefoot Cruises chartered ship carrying 110 passengers was stopped by local authorities off the smaller island of Nevis early Wednesday morning, said Shannon Manno, vice president of sales for the Miami Beach-based company.
An official at the St. Kitts Tourism Authority could not confirm or deny the report, but said gay cruises have come to the former British colony in the past, reported Associated Press.
The ship had previously stopped in St. Maarten and Anguilla and there were no problems,
“The passengers can be nude while the ship is at sea but once they come to shore they obviously have to be clothed,” said Sharon Kersten, a publicist for Miami-based event production company Source Events, which organized the cruise.
