Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom — Private Houseboat

The Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom is a private 8-bedroom houseboat in Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala. It costs ₹44,000 per night (ex-GST), sleeps 16 in beds, has air conditioning from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and boards at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point, Punnamada. All meals are included.

Boats this size need more notice than the small ones — book early for weekends and holidays.

What is the Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom like?

The largest boat in the fleet — eight air-conditioned bedrooms, a banquet hall that seats a full party and two lounges across a double deck. It sleeps 16 in beds, and takes up to 40 on a day cruise, when nobody needs a bed. See all 15 photos.

Who is this houseboat best for?

Takes sixteen, the largest party we can put on one boat, with everyone at the same table and the same mooring.

How much does the Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom cost?

It is the cheapest 8 bedroom boat we run. Above it, the Premium AC 8 Bedroom is ₹52,000, ₹8,000 more again.

Across 16 guests at two per bedroom that is ₹2,750 each, including all meals and the night aboard — the whole boat, not a cabin, and the same price whether 16 of you travel or fewer.

8 Bedroom boats in our fleet run from ₹44,000 to ₹52,000. See them all on the 8-bedroom page.

When does the air conditioning run?

The bedrooms are air-conditioned from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM. The generator shuts down while the boat is cruising, so there is no air conditioning through the afternoon — this is the Deluxe standard and the main thing that separates it from Premium and Luxury. It is comfortable for sleeping all year; the afternoon heat only really bites between February and May.

Same boat, Premium tier: the Premium AC 8 Bedroom is this boat at ₹52,000, ₹8,000 more, for air conditioning on demand rather than 9:00 PM–7:00 AM.

Can you bring extra guests?

Yes, where the boat has room: guests beyond the bed count are ₹750 per head, per night.

What happens on the overnight cruise?

Check in at 12:00 PM, check out at 9:00 AM — a 21-hour stay rather than 24, so arriving at 11:30 rather than 2:00 PM materially changes how much of it you get. Cruising stops between 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM by Kerala rule: the boat moors for the night with the crew aboard, and the evening at anchor is the part most guests rate highest. All meals are included, cooked aboard that day.
