Is a houseboat a good option for a honeymoon in Kerala?+
It's one of the most romantic experiences in India. Our honeymoon houseboat packages include flower-decorated bedrooms, candle-lit dinners, welcome cake, and optional add-ons like professional photography, and videography. The privacy and natural beauty of the backwaters make it truly magical for couples.
What is the best time to visit Alleppey for a houseboat experience?+
October to March is the ideal season — the weather is pleasant, skies are clear, and the backwaters are at their scenic best. However, Cruiseland operates year-round. The monsoon season (June–August) offers a dramatic, misty experience and lower tariffs, though some routes may be affected by heavy rains.

Yes. All Cruiseland overnight houseboat packages include complimentary breakfast, lunch, evening snacks/tea, and dinner prepared fresh on board by our dedicated chef. Meals feature authentic Kerala cuisine including seafood, curries, and traditional recipes.

Kayaking in Alappuzha
There is a side of Kerala that most travellers never see. It is quiet. It moves slowly. You will not find it from the deck of a big houseboat or through a car window. You find it from the seat of a kayak, with a paddle in your hand and nothing but still water stretching out ahead of you.
