One cabin, a table of fellow travellers, three days
Updated 27 October 2026
Komodo single cabin on a shared phinisi trip: IDR 6,500,000 (≈ USD 399) per person is the lowest fare on Elbark Cruises, and IDR 11,500,000 (≈ USD 706) the highest, for 3 days and 2 nights, on Fridays and some Mondays. Each cabin is ensuite and for two, so ask us how a single booking is priced.
A lone guest's cabin and its fare
A lone guest chooses a cabin like any other. Fares are per person, 3 days and 2 nights, two sharing. Banda Neira and Savu are the lowest at IDR 6,500,000 (≈ USD 399). Toraja and Alor are IDR 7,000,000 (≈ USD 429), Selayar and Rote IDR 8,350,000 (≈ USD 512), Weh and Mentawai IDR 9,350,000 (≈ USD 574), and Misool IDR 11,500,000 (≈ USD 706).
Every cabin is air-conditioned with an ensuite bathroom, a rainfall shower and hot water, and the lower-deck cabins have a small round marine window. The fare includes the cruise director guide and the photographer. Park tickets are separate.
The fare is for two sharing, and a cabin is for two. We do not state a single-guest price on this page. Ask how a single booking is priced on your date; the written answer arrives before any payment.

Which parts of the boat you share
You share the boat, the dining room, the lounge and the sky deck with the other guests of the sailing. Meals are on board, and so are snorkelling gear, a paddleboard and a canoe. Everyone eats and swims on the same timetable, set by the route.
Your cabin is a room with a door and a bathroom of its own, and the fare is set for two sharing. How the sailing is filled, and how a guest who books alone is placed, depends on the date. We confirm it with you in writing before you pay, and we say what we do not yet know.
A shared trip suits the guest who likes company at breakfast and a closed door at night.
A message, then your cabin in writing
Write to us with the Friday or Monday you prefer, the cabin you would like and your name as written in your passport. We check the calendar and reply with the cabin and the price in writing. Nothing is due before that.
A 50% deposit confirms the cabin; the balance is paid 30 days ahead of departure. A date change costs IDR 500,000. Pickup is at 08:30 on the first morning from your hotel or any place in the city area.
When the boat cannot sail, the choice is a like-for-like phinisi on your dates or a full refund inside 14 days.

Departures open for a solo booking
The calendar lists every date with its status, and the first is Friday, 6 November 2026. A flag marks a few cabins left or a date that is full, and we confirm the cabin before you pay.
A lone guest has no reason to wait for a perfect date. Friday sailings and Monday ones run the same 3-day route, with Padar on day 1, Komodo Island and Kalong on day 2, and Kelor on day 3.
On the last day the boat docks in Labuan Bajo between 11:00 and 12:00. Book flights after 14:00.
Open-trip departures: 3 days, on Fridays and on some Mondays, sold by the cabin. A date without a flag is open for enquiry, and we confirm your cabin on WhatsApp before you pay.

A single guest's packing list
Pack light, since a cabin is small, and the lower-deck cabins measure 8.75 sqm. Sturdy shoes for Padar and Komodo Island, a hat, long sleeves and reef-safe sunscreen. A swimsuit for each day, and a dry bag for the tender. A headtorch for an early start.
A personal tumbler comes with the trip, and you take it home. Coffee, tea and water are free-flow on board. Bring your own medicine, any seasickness remedy your pharmacist suggests, and a book, because the afternoons are long.
Wi-Fi on board is local only. Tell the people at home you will be out of reach.
FAQ
Do I pay more to take a cabin on my own?
Fares are per person for two sharing, so ask us how a single booking is priced for your date. Cabin and price are confirmed in writing first, and no payment is due before that.
Who shares my cabin?
Cabins are for two guests, with an ensuite bathroom. How a single guest is placed on a given date is confirmed with you in writing before you pay, so the cabin plan is never a surprise on the first morning.
Can I book the day before?
Only if a cabin is free on that sailing. Name the date and the cabin you have chosen. We check the calendar and answer in writing ahead of payment. Pickup is at 08:30, and a flag marks a date with few cabins left.
What is included in my cabin fare?
The ensuite, air-conditioned cabin, onboard meals, snacks, coffee, tea and water, snorkelling gear, a paddleboard and a canoe, local Wi-Fi, the cruise director guide, the photographer, a personal tumbler to take home, and pickup and drop-off in the city area. Park tickets are separate.
