- About Luxury Houseboats in Alleppey
The backwaters, with nothing held back
Most people who visit Alleppey do the deluxe or premium route. Luxury houseboats in Alleppey are for the ones who want the full version of this place. The kind of trip where you do not find yourself wishing for anything more.
What makes a luxury houseboat different from the others is not one big thing. It is a collection of smaller things. The glass panels that wrap around the cabin so there is no obstruction between you and the water. The AC that stays on from the moment you board. The lunch that comes with prawns and soup. The upper deck that is on every single boat in this category, not just selected ones.
- 100% Upper deck included
- 24 hrs Full centralised AC
- 1–5 Bedroom options
Why Choose Luxury
Four things that make luxury different
Compared to deluxe and premium, the luxury houseboat in Alleppey changes four things in a way you actually notice on the trip.
Choose Your Boat
Luxury houseboats by size and group.
Standard occupancy is 2 persons per bedroom. An extra person per bedroom can be added for an additional fee. Contact us for exact pricing.
1 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat
Built for couples who want the best version of the houseboat experience. You get the whole boat, full glass panels, private upper deck, and meals that are a cut above the other tiers.
2 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat
Works well for families or two couples. Two fully fitted bedrooms with attached baths, a glass-panelled living space, and an upper deck where you can sit out regardless of the weather.
3 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat
Good for families with children or a group of three couples. Three private bedrooms, a generous dining area, and an upper deck that has enough room for everyone to sit out at the same time.
4 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat
A big boat for a big group. Four bedrooms with attached baths, a wide living space with glass panels on all sides, and one of the larger upper decks in the fleet. Popular for milestone celebrations.
5 Bedroom Luxury Houseboat
The largest configuration in the luxury range. Five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a boat large enough for corporate events, reunions, or a group that simply wants more room to breathe.

Things to do while the boat is anchored
After 5:30 pm the boat stops for the night. Here is what guests usually do in that window before dinner.
Sunset Shikara Ride
A small shikara takes you out onto the open lake just as the sun is going down. It is a different view of the same water you have been cruising all day. Most guests who do this say it was the best hour of the trip.
Book in advance
Village Walk
The boat anchors near a village every evening. A short walk takes you past paddy fields, coconut groves, and local houses. It is simple and quiet and completely different from anything you do in a city. Worth an hour of your evening.
Fishing from the Banks
The crew can arrange fishing gear and point you to a good spot along the bank. You do not need to know anything. The captain usually knows where the fish are and the assistant will help if you need it.
Gear arranged on request
Cruise Routes
Where luxury houseboats sail in Alleppey
The captain chooses the exact path based on water conditions and the season. These are the three main routes most luxury cruises follow.
