How to book Princess Nabila for a group: steps, deposit, balance and cancellation
Updated 12 October 2026
Send your head count, dates and nights on WhatsApp and we quote the whole boat per head. The 50 percent deposit confirms the date. Pay the balance 30 days before departure, and send the names and passport details with it. Planner hours are 08:00 to 20:00 (WITA) every day.
Three steps, and what each one needs from you
Step one is a message with four facts: head count, dates, number of nights and the cabins you think you need. If the cabins are unclear, say how many couples, families and single guests are in the group and we draw the plan. What comes back is a quote with a cost per head.
Step two is the deposit. 50 percent of the total confirms the date. Step three is the balance, 30 days before departure, with the names of your guests. A booking made inside that window pays in full at once, and the deposit step is skipped.
A message asks about a date and does not reserve it, and a date is held only once the deposit is paid. If the group has not agreed on a date, send two and ask for both quotes.

What the quote fixes before you pay
The head count and the kinds of cabin are fixed in the quote before the deposit, because the head count sets the price. That means how many of the 7 cabins you need, of which kind, and where the extra beds go for guests 22 to 25. Flores stops at three guests.
Put two more items into the same first message. One is the diet needs of the group. We print no halal, vegan or allergy guarantee, so a serious allergy is something to weigh before you book. The other is the guide and the photo set, which are out of a charter fare and quoted as separate lines on request.
One invoice goes to the organiser. For a company it carries PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia and NIB 1805260128363, and the price includes 11 percent VAT.
Names and passports travel with the balance
Two lists complete the file, and both go in with the balance, 30 days before departure. The first says who sleeps in which cabin on which deck. The second gives each guest's full name as written in the passport, with nationality and passport number or ID details.
The last day we accept them is 7 days before sailing, and the table below prints the same limit. Sending both with the balance keeps you well inside it.
Spell each name exactly as its passport does. If the list and a passport disagree, the guest can be held at the pier, and a correction sent with the balance costs nothing.
| Deposit | 50 percent of the total |
| Balance | 30 days before |
| Bookings inside 30 days pay in full | |
| Children | Under 3 free, accompanied by a parent |
| Prices include 11 percent VAT · Passport details 7 days before sailing |
Cancelling or moving the date
Counting starts from the sailing date, not from the day you booked. Two lines matter to an organiser. 60 days out is the last day a cancellation returns 50 percent. From 59 to 30 days out it returns 25 percent. Inside 30 days nothing is returned. The tables print every step, and they apply to a charter and to an open-trip cabin alike.
A date change is free up to 30 days before departure, costs IDR 500,000 from 29 to 14 days out, and from 13 days counts as a cancellation. If we cancel, you are refunded in full, and refunds are paid within 14 days.
Travel insurance is recommended, because the steps above are our refund terms and not cover for a flight or a hotel night. Take a policy that covers cancellation and medical evacuation, and buy it when you pay the deposit.
| Notice | Refund |
|---|---|
| 60 days or more | 50 % |
| 30 to 59 days | 25 % |
| 29 days or less | 0 % |
| Notice | Fee |
|---|---|
| 30 days or more | Free |
| 14 to 29 days | IDR 500,000 |
| 13 days or less | Treated as a cancellation |
If we cancel the trip, you receive 100 percent back · Refunds are paid within 14 days.
Tick before you pay
Cards, PayPal, Wise, Revolut, QRIS, Alipay, WeChat Pay and bank transfer are listed below, and PayPal carries a 7.2 percent fee. Any other processing fee shows on the invoice before you pay it. Before the first payment, tick these:
- The head count, as a number you can defend, and the band it falls in.
- The length and the date, and which of the two price lists prices that date.
- The stop list, with the either-or pairs named.
- The guide and the photo set: in the quote or out of it.
- Park tickets and the ranger fee: who buys them, and by when.
- The cabin kinds, with guests 22 to 25 on extra beds, and who receives the invoice.
Send the list back with a yes or a question. The payment link follows once the six lines are settled.
Payments accepted
Secure payment by Stripe, Airwallex, American Express, Visa, Mastercard.
If the boat cannot sail, and what to do now
The boat-substitution guarantee is part of our terms. Should a breakdown, or a harbour or park order, keep the boat alongside, you receive a phinisi in the same class or better on your dates with nothing added to the bill, or every rupiah back within 14 days.
Weather is a different case. The itinerary changes with sea conditions, weather and collective agreement, so Gili Lawa in place of Padar, or a swap of Manta Point and Taka Makassar, is a change of stops on the day and not a failure to sail.
Next step: open WhatsApp from the button, paste your four facts and send. If you would rather write, the address is sales@princessnabila.com. A cost per head for your group comes back first.
FAQ
Can I hold a date without paying a deposit?
No date is held on a message alone. A message is a question, and the deposit of 50 percent confirms the date. Send a head count and cabin kinds and we quote a cost per head, so you can show the group a real figure before anyone pays. If your head count is still moving, say so in the first message.
How do 12 friends split a charter payment?
One invoice goes to the organiser, who collects from the others. Need separate invoices? Say so before the deposit. Pay by card link, PayPal, Wise, Revolut, QRIS, Alipay, WeChat Pay or bank transfer, bearing in mind that PayPal carries a 7.2 percent fee.
Which guest details do you need, and when?
Each guest's full name as written in the passport, with nationality and passport number or ID details, plus the cabin each guest sleeps in. Send them with the balance, 30 days before departure. The last day we accept them is 7 days before sailing.
What is fixed before the deposit, and what can still change?
Before the deposit: the head count, which sets the price band, and the kinds of cabin. After it, until the balance: the names, the cabin each guest takes and the passport details. Guests 22 to 25 take extra beds, and Flores stops at three. Settle diet needs, the guide line and who receives the invoice together with the head count.
