Possible Cruise
I have traveled on the Norwegian Jade in 2016. It was a great ship with lots of entertainment. However, I never saw any clothing optional areas on the ship. The dress code on board was very casual and relaxed - meaning skimpy bathing suits. You might find some nice nude beaches at some of the Jade's stops.

We took a cruise on the Jewel a few years ago, which I believe is a similar ship.
Many European and Latin American passengers, so skimpy swimwear was common.
Wore a Speedo solar every day I was in or around the pool and didn't feel out of place.
Even went through the poolside buffet line wearing one and nothing else.
If I had known then that swimwear was acceptable at the larger outdoor buffet, I would have done it there also.
There were even some women sunning topless, despite signs that it was not allowed.
Later took a cruise on the Norwegian Escape.
It had 2 adult only areas with deck chairs, hot tubs and bars.
When they asked for an evaluation and suggestions at the end of the cruise, I wrote that since there were 2 adult only areas, 1 should be clothing optional. I don't think the suggestion went anywhere.
Our possible cruise is to Greece, Israel, Turkey and Cyprus.
I know that in Israel, brief swimwear is acceptable but nudity is not.
I would assume that since Turkey and Cyprus have large Muslim populations, dress would be conservative.
Our two stops in Greece are Patmos and Santorini. Will have to look into them.
