03 · Why houseboat prices differ

What moves the price

Five things change the cost of a houseboat in Alleppey.

The boat itself

Deluxe, Premium and Luxury differ in comfort, views and AC.

Rooms and people

One bedroom suits two guests, two bedrooms suit four.

Day or night

Overnight adds dinner, breakfast and a night aboard.

The calendar

December and January cost most. The monsoon is usually gentler on the budget.

Cool hours

Daytime AC, or full-time AC on Premium, costs extra.

Best value

A weekday day cruise outside the peak is the lightest way in. Among overnight boats, a Deluxe one-bedroom is the most modest.

04 · Houseboat booking for Christmas and New Year

Christmas, booked early

December 20 to January 5 is the busiest time for houseboat booking in Alleppey.

Book by September

Good boats often sell out three to six months ahead, and pricing is higher than usual. We hold a boat with a 50% advance.

Ways to get more for your budget
  • Travel outside December and January.
  • Pick a day cruise if you do not need to sleep aboard.
  • Choose Deluxe in cooler months and Luxury for April and May.
  • Fill the boat: two bedrooms for four guests costs less per head.
  • Ask for a confirmed quote that lists meals, taxes and AC hours.
