The one golden rule passengers must abide by has been revealed ahead of a 'spicy sex cruise' setting sail this year.
Adult cruises have been increasing in popularity in recent years, with ever more people looking to release their inhibitions while sailing the high seas.
And while they may be seen as a floating haven of hedonism, there are - of course - some very important rules that must be followed to ensure everyone stays safe and has a good time.
Killing Kittens is launching an adult cruise setting sail on June 9, 2026, with passengers enjoying a luxury trip from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, as well as Florence, Portofino, and Mallorca.
As well as many of the usual cruising attractions, people on board will also have the opportunity to take part in some extracurricular swinging activities, including the popular White Party, a masked ball, latex and 'Kreatures of the Night'-themed event, as well as Hedonism, Killing Kittens' signature sex party.
And while it all seems pretty free and wild, everyone on board will have to follow some strict rules.
As reported by Metro, all participants have to comply with Killing Kittens' three core values - privacy, confidentiality, and discretion - before they can come on board.
This means that nobody can reveal the identity of anyone else you encounter on board, and everyone must be treated with respect.
Other rules state that partygoers can't misrepresent their relationship with anyone, past or present, as honesty is key to it all running smoothly.
While couples and solo women are welcomed, solo men are not allowed in the playrooms.
This all comes back to Killing Kittens' mission of celebrating female pleasure, and so the safety and enjoyment of women, trans, and non-binary individuals is paramount.
Founder Emma Sayle is the one that set the rule of "no solo men in playrooms" - and single men are in fact banned from joining the cruise altogether, so you know any men on board will be there with their partners.
Sayle explained to the outlet: "Obviously it’s consent, consent, consent, and everything is based on respect and being a decent human being."
Passengers will need to sign consent and attendance forms while on board too, but unlike the Killing Kittens parties which take place on land, they won't need to be members to go along, as long as they abide by the rules.
And while you might be imagining people wandering about in various states of undress, there are actually strict dress codes in place too.
While there are designated 'clothing optional' areas on board for people that want to indulge in naturism, other areas of the boat require appropriate clothing - and you need to come prepared for the themed events, too.
She explained: "You’ll need to adhere to the dress code depending on the theme of the night. The White party is self-explanatory – it’s all white. The masked ball is black tie and ball gowns with masks; kreatures of the night is woodland, goddesses, nymphs – a chance to play real dress-up.
"Hedonism is beachclub wear in the day, and in the night Dominion is latex and leather."
So if you were planning to save on the baggage allowance by packing only a few pieces of underwear, you might be in for a shock at how much clothing you'll actually need - but there are mask and headdress-making stations on board, so at least you can save some suitcase space on those.
For those that wish to experience the cruise first-hand, the six-night voyage starts from around $6,700 for an interior room, with suites being upwards of $16,800.
While that may sound steep, the cruise is all-inclusive, so all your food and drink is included too, as well as many of the experiences, though some do come with an additional fee.
Outside of the NSFW entertainment, passengers can take part in cookery classes, whiskey tastings, morning runs, and sunrise yoga.
If that sounds a bit vanilla, there's also sex workshops on relationships, self-expression, and sensory play, as well as an adult quiz night, and even couples speed dating.
