FAQs
Are the cruise routes and timings different for shared boats?
Yes, there are a couple of small differences in how shared boats navigate:
Sharing / Shared houseboats operate on strict timelines (usually check-in at 12 PM boat startting time 1:00 PM and check-out at 9:00 AM). The boat cannot delay departure to wait for you if you are running late, as it impacts other paying guests.
How many rooms do these boats have, and what are the AC rules?
Sharing / Shared houseboats are usually larger vessels, typically ranging from 8-bedroom up to 12- or 16-bedroom configurations.
How does the food work? Can I customize the menu?
Because the onboard chef is cooking for multiple separate groups at once, the menu is fixed and served buffet-style in the common dining area.
How much cheaper is a shared houseboat compared to a private one?
Sharing a boat offers massive savings, especially for solo travelers and couples:
Shared Houseboat: Typically starts around ₹5,500 to ₹12,500 per couple per night, including all meals.
Private Houseboat: A dedicated 1-bedroom private boat rarely starts below ₹8,500 to ₹18,500 per night.
