Prostitution is not legal in international waters as it is subject to the laws of the country where the ship is registered. Many countries have laws against prostitution, and these laws apply to ships flying their flag. Additionally, international conventions and treaties may also prohibit prostitution on ships.

Is it true that laws do not apply to international waters?

National laws do not apply in international waters, for the same reason that the laws of one nation are not applicable in a different nation. However, that does not mean that complete anarchy prevails in international waters. There are certain international agreements which apply in international waters. If international waters are thought of as belonging to all nations, then the nations of the world can enact treaties pertaining to those waters.

Does any law prevent you from having a cruise ship just off American shores in international waters offering illegal drugs and prostitution services?

The Jones Act regulates a lot of activities that cruise ships embarking, touching or disembarking in the United States and its waters. It would prohibit foreign ships from taking on passengers (even briefly) for this type of activity. All ships that visit the U.S. are regulated by the U.S. Coast Guard, Food and Drug Administration, United States Public Health among other local and federal agencies. **What about the fact that prostitution is not a federal crime? Just like gambling, it's illegal in a lot of places, but not everywhere in the US. The federal government may claim some kind of oversite ability when it comes to international waters, but states (who make prostitution laws) have absolutely no jurisdiction. It is my understanding that under International treaties countries can only claim something like twenty five miles off their cost (although certain countries like China claim much more). Thus, if the boat were in International waters I cannot imagine on what basis that the authorities would intervene.
