Abad Cruise on the Lake — Kumarakom

Abad Cruise on the Lake offers a refined take on the classic Kerala houseboat journey. Traditionally styled kettuvallam craft are appointed with comfortable private bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and shaded lounge decks, while on-board chefs prepare freshly cooked regional dishes throughout the cruise.

Days unfold gently along the canals and shorelines of Vembanad — passing paddy fields, coconut villages, wading birds and fishermen — before mooring for a spectacular backwaters sunset and a peaceful night on the water.
