A Deluxe Houseboat Package in Alleppey offers the quintessential Kerala backwaters experience with enhanced comfort. These packages primarily include an all-inclusive overnight stay on a traditional Kettuvallam. Key features include an attached bathroom, well-furnished private bedrooms, and a common living area. The package includes authentic Kerala cuisine: a fresh welcome drink, traditional lunch (often with fish fry), evening tea/snacks, dinner, and breakfast. This option is popular for balancing traditional charm, good amenities, and affordability. Air Conditioning (AC) Timings This is the key differentiator for the Deluxe category: AC Operation: Air Conditioning is provided in the bedrooms only. Time Restriction: The AC is typically operational for limited hours, usually from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Note: During the day's cruising (12 PM - 5:30 PM), the houseboat is Non-AC, and you rely on the natural breeze on the open deck. Day Cruise Option If you only have a few hours, a Day Cruise is also an option (typically 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM). It is more budget-friendly and usually includes a welcome drink, lunch, and evening snacks, but does not include an overnight stay or a bedroom. The Day-Night package is a comprehensive way to experience both the vibrant cruising and the serene, quiet atmosphere of the backwaters after sunset.
