A sharing houseboat functions similarly to a floating boutique hotel. You book an individual, fully private bedroom featuring a lockable door and an attached western bathroom. The common areas—such as the front open lounge, dining area, upper deck, and sundeck—are shared with a few other families or couples boarding the same boat.
Do I have to share my bedroom or bathroom with strangers?
No, absolutely not. Your bedroom and attached bathroom are 100% private and reserved exclusively for you. Only the public sitting and dining zones are shared with fellow travelers.
What is the difference between Deluxe and Premium sharing houseboats?
The core differences lie in the air conditioning (A/C) operating hours and boat layout:
Deluxe Sharing Boats: The bedroom A/C operates strictly during the night, typically from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The living area is open-air with fans.
Premium Sharing Boats: Features full-time bedroom A/C, and the main living/dining lounge is glass-enclosed and fully air-conditioned throughout the cruise.
Are meals included in the package, and is the menu fixed?
Yes, all standard overnight cruises include a full traditional Kerala culinary package: a Welcome Drink, Lunch (featuring local fish fry), Evening Tea with Snacks, Dinner, and Breakfast the following morning.
