The 3 Tiers of Alleppey Houseboats (And What They Cost)

Houseboat prices in Alleppey are determined by three main factors: the category of the boat, the number of bedrooms, and the season.

Here is the breakdown of the three main categories available in 2026:

1. Deluxe Houseboats

Starting Price (1 Bedroom): ₹7,000 - ₹9,000 per night
Best For: Budget-conscious travelers and students.

Deluxe is the entry-level category.

• The Catch: AC is only turned on from 9 PM to 6 AM while the boat is docked in your bedroom. The living areas are typically open-air and non-AC.
• Food: Standard Kerala menu is included, but options are limited.

2. Premium Houseboats (Most Popular)

Starting Price (1 Bedroom): ₹12,000 - ₹15,000 per night
Best For: Couples, families, and those seeking comfort without extreme extravagance.

Premium boats offer the best balance of value and comfort.

• The Advantage: Full-time AC in the bedrooms, and often glass-covered AC living areas so you can enjoy the backwaters even during the hot afternoon sun.
• The Finish: Better quality furnishings, modern attached bathrooms, and a more private crew experience.
• Food: A rich, authentic menu including welcome drinks, traditional Kerala Sadya with Karimeen (Pearl Spot) fish fry, and customizable dinner options.

3. Luxury & Ultra-Luxury Houseboats

Starting Price (1 Bedroom): ₹18,000 - ₹25,000+ per night
Best For: Honeymooners, luxury seekers, and VIP guests.

These are floating 5-star hotel rooms.

• The Experience: Expansive upper decks for sunset viewing, full-glass facades, premium wooden interiors, and sometimes even onboard jacuzzis.
• The Service: A dedicated private chef, premium menu options (including tiger prawns or crab on request), and the highest standard of hygiene and safety.

Alleppey Houseboat Day Cruise Prices (Alternative to Night Stay)

If you are short on time or prefer to sleep in a resort, a Day Cruise is a fantastic option. A standard day cruise runs from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and includes a welcome drink, traditional lunch, and evening tea/snacks.

• 1 Bedroom Premium Day Cruise: ₹8,000 - ₹10,000
• 2 Bedroom Premium Day Cruise: ₹12,000 - ₹15,000
• Large Group/Corporate Day Cruise (up to 50 pax): Custom Pricing based on menu and boat size.

Pro Tip: Ask about our Shikara Rides (₹1,000 - ₹1,500 per hour) if you only have a few hours to spare!

What is Included in the Price?

When you book directly with a verified operator like Alleppey Green Tourism, your nightly rate is all-inclusive. There are no hidden fees. Your price includes:

1. Exclusive Use of the Boat: Unless you specifically book a "Shared" houseboat, the entire vessel is private for your group.
2. All Meals: Welcome drink, traditional Lunch, Evening Tea & Snacks, Dinner, and Breakfast the next morning.
3. The Crew: A dedicated Captain, Oarsman, and Private Chef.
4. The Cruise: 5-6 hours of backwater cruising on Day 1, and 1 hour of morning cruising on Day 2.

Keep in Mind: Seasonality Matters

Just like flight tickets, houseboat prices fluctuate based on demand.

• Off-Season (June - September): Prices drop by 15-20%. This is the monsoon season, which offers a lush, intensely green, and incredibly romantic backwater experience.
• Peak Season (November - January): Prices increase by 20-30%, peaking during Diwali, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. Booking at least 2 months in advance is highly recommended.
