Sail Through the Serene Alleppey Backwaters on a Shared Houseboat
A shared houseboat in Alleppey, Kerala is a perfect choice for travelers who wish to enjoy the beauty of Kerala’s backwaters at an affordable price. Unlike private houseboats, a shared cruise allows you to experience the same scenic routes, warm hospitality, and traditional Kerala food — but at a much lower cost. At Lake Queen Houseboats, our shared houseboat packages are designed for couples, families, and solo travelers who value both comfort and savings. Each family or couple gets a private air-conditioned bedroom with an attached bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience throughout the stay. The living area, sundeck, and dining space are shared with other guests, creating a friendly and social atmosphere on board. Our experienced crew and onboard chefs take care of everything — from preparing individual Kerala-style meals for each family to ensuring safety, hygiene, and a smooth cruise. The route followed by a shared houseboat is the same as a private one, allowing guests to witness the lush paddy fields, palm-fringed canals, and peaceful villages that make Alleppey famous.
