About AC Premium Houseboats
Premium sits above Deluxe, and at one, two and three bedrooms it now starts above Luxury on price as well — it is the tier most families end up on. The practical gain over Deluxe is that the air conditioning is available on demand rather than only overnight, so the bedrooms are usable as a retreat during the hottest part of the afternoon. Bedrooms are larger than Deluxe, bathrooms are finished in marble or tile with hot water, and the living area is furnished as a lounge rather than just a dining space.
Most Premium boats in this fleet have an upper deck, and the larger configurations — four, five, six and eight bedrooms — are the ones we send out for family reunions, wedding parties and corporate groups who want one boat rather than three. The eight-bedroom boat carries a banquet hall that seats the whole party at one table.
The rhythm of an overnight cruise is the same whichever boat you take. You board at noon, lunch is served while the boat moves out through the Punnamada canals, and the afternoon is spent crossing open water and narrow village channels. By 5:00 PM the boat anchors — Kerala rules this for safety, and it is the best part of the trip, because you are moored in still water with the crew cooking dinner and nothing to do but watch the light go. Cruising resumes at 7:00 AM and you check out at 9:00 AM.
We currently offer 17 packages in this category — 1 to 8 bedrooms, sleeping up to 16 guests. Private boats run from ₹16,000 to ₹52,000 per night. A room on a shared boat runs from ₹8,000 to ₹9,000 per room per night. All prices exclude GST. Most board at the Nehru Trophy Finishing Point in Punnamada; our Kumarakom boats board at Kumarakom.
Houseboat rates may vary depending on demand; the rates shown are standard rates for the Normal season.

AC Premium Houseboats in Alleppey — common questions
What does Premium mean on an Alleppey houseboat?＋
In this fleet it means on-demand air conditioning in the bedrooms, larger rooms than Deluxe, tiled or marble en-suite bathrooms with hot water, and a furnished lounge area. The route, crew and food are the same across tiers; what changes is the boat.
Which houseboat is best for a large family group?＋
For eight guests and up, a single multi-bedroom boat works better than two small ones — everyone eats together and nobody is separated overnight. The four, six and eight-bedroom Premium boats are built for exactly this, and the larger two carry a banquet dining hall.
Can we get the air conditioning during the day on a Premium boat?＋
Yes. That is the main difference from Deluxe, where the air conditioning is limited to 9:00 PM until 7:00 AM. On Premium boats the bedroom units can be run when you want them.
