Premium AC 8 Bedroom — Private Houseboat

The Premium AC 8 Bedroom — Private Houseboat is a fully private houseboat — the whole boat is yours — on the Alleppey (Alappuzha) backwaters. With 8 air-conditioned bedrooms across two decks it sleeps 16 guests in beds, which makes it one of the largest boats on the Kerala backwaters and the one we send out for family reunions, wedding parties, corporate offsites and group tours.

Starting at ₹52,000 per night (ex-GST) — that is ₹6,500 per bedroom — it boards at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Punnamada. Extra guests beyond the bed count are ₹1,000 per head.

Overnight cruise: check in at 12:00 PM and check out at 9:00 AM the next day. Cruising pauses between 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM, when the boat anchors at a safe spot with the crew onboard. All meals are included — freshly cooked Kerala, South and North Indian dishes served onboard. AC on demand through the night.
