Premium AC 8 Bedroom — Private Houseboat

The Premium AC 8 Bedroom is a private 8-bedroom houseboat in Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala. It costs ₹52,000 per night (ex-GST), sleeps 16 in beds, has air conditioning on demand, 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 Premium 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 Premium AC 8 Bedroom cost?

The next cheapest 8 bedroom boat is the Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom at ₹44,000, so this one costs ₹8,000 more. Nothing larger-specified at this size costs more — it is the top of the 8-bedroom range.

Across 16 guests at two per bedroom that is ₹3,250 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?

On demand, not on a generator schedule. The bedrooms can be cooled through the afternoon as well as overnight, which is what the Premium rate buys over a Deluxe boat and the reason it is worth paying for between February and May.

Same boat, Deluxe tier: the Deluxe AC 8 Bedroom is this boat at ₹44,000, ₹8,000 less, with air conditioning from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM instead of on demand.

Can you bring extra guests?

Yes, where the boat has room: guests beyond the bed count are ₹1,000 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.

Good to know before you book
