Seven cabins on a Komodo phinisi, with the open-trip price per person

Updated 12 October 2026

Princess Nabila has 7 cabins, 3 on the main deck and 4 upstairs, each with its own bathroom and a sea window. On the Monday and Friday open trip a bed costs IDR 5,150,000 (≈ USD 316) in a sea-view cabin or IDR 5,950,000 (≈ USD 365) in a master cabin, per person, two sharing. A cabin sells for a minimum of two.

Five kinds of cabin across seven rooms

Two pairs of cabins share a price, so seven cabins sell as five kinds. Jawa and Sumbawa are the masters, both at the stern. Flores is the balcony suite. Sulawesi and Bali are the sea-view pair upstairs, and Papua and Maluku the sea-view pair on the main deck.

Every cabin has a private bathroom with a sit-down toilet, one air conditioner, round two-pin sockets and a sea window. The sheets are grey-striped under a grey quilt, and each door carries a clear acrylic plate with a gold number and the island's name.

Three guests sleep in the fixed beds of any cabin. A fourth takes an extra bed everywhere except Flores, so a family of four fits in six of the seven rooms.

What a fare per person covers

One fare buys one guest in a cabin shared by two, so a couple pays it twice. A third or fourth guest in that cabin pays the extra-bed rate instead. A cabin sells for a minimum of two: a lone traveller who wants a cabin alone pays two shares, and no solo supplement is printed.

A 3D2N fare buys three days and two nights. A 2D1N fare buys the first two days of that same sailing, which include Taka Makassar on day 2. You step off in Labuan Bajo between 19:00 and 20:30 that evening and miss the third morning.

Both fares include the local guide, the photo and video set, all meals, water, tea and coffee, a snack and a soft drink, mask and snorkel, linen, a bath towel and the transfers both ways. Neither includes park tickets and the ranger fee, flights, tips, travel insurance or fins.

Extra beds, and the 2027 fare table

The second table prints every 2027 fare and the extra-bed rate for each cabin class, for sailings from 1 January to 31 July 2027. Each 2027 open-trip fare is higher than its 2026 twin, in every cabin class and in both lengths. For 2026 sailings the extra-bed rate is not on the rate card, so we quote it with the booking.

August to December 2027 has no printed card yet, so those sailings follow the 2027 table until one appears.

Master and sea-view cabins take a third and a fourth guest at the extra-bed rate. Flores takes a third guest at its own printed rate and never a fourth. The rate is per extra guest and sits on top of the two shares that fill the cabin.

Choosing a cabin by the problem it solves

  • No stairs to the restaurant: Jawa, Papua and Maluku, all on the main deck. The roof and the upper deck still need stairs.
  • A private balcony: Jawa and Sumbawa at the stern, Flores on the side. Sumbawa's is roofed and holds a rattan chair and table. Jawa's has two bean bags, and Flores has two more.
  • A bathtub: Jawa, outdoors on its balcony. The rate card lists one for Sumbawa as well, and we confirm it in writing before you book that cabin for the bath.
  • A rain shower: Jawa and Sumbawa. Flores, Sulawesi, Bali and Papua have a hand shower.
  • Sound and motion, by our rule of thumb and not as a measurement: an upper-deck cabin hears less engine and moves more in a swell, the main deck moves less, and Jawa, beside the galley at the stern, hears more than any other cabin.

Flores suits two or three guests who want a balcony without the stern position. Its cap of three is firm, so a party of four cannot book it.

Dates, flags and the choice of a charter

The open trip sails every Monday and Friday. The list skips any date that has sailed, is full or is held for a charter or for docking. The open-trip-dates page lists every sailing for 2026 and 2027, and the cards below start from the next one. Each card carries an Ask about this date button, and we confirm which cabins are still open when you write. On the full calendar, Few cabins left marks a sailing that was close to full on 11 October 2026.

A charter is the way to have the boat to yourselves, because an open-trip sailing is shared with other parties. Pick it when your party needs more than half the cabins.

Next step: send the date, the cabin kind and how many guests sleep in each cabin, and we quote the open-trip price for your exact party.

Monday and Friday sailings still open. A missing date has sailed or filled. Charters and docking hold the rest.

FAQ

Does the cabin price cover one guest or the whole cabin?

One guest. The fare assumes two people share the cabin, so a couple pays it twice. A third or fourth guest pays the extra-bed rate instead, which the 2027 fare table prints. Under 3, which means 0 to 2 years, a child sails free beside an adult. From that age on, the fare is full.

What does a third or fourth person in the same cabin pay?

The extra-bed rate, per extra guest. For 2027 it sits in the fare table on this page, one line each for the master cabins, Flores and the sea-view cabins. For 2026 sailings we quote the rate with the booking. Flores never takes a fourth guest.

If I travel alone and want a cabin to myself, what do I pay?

Two shares of that cabin. A cabin sells for a minimum of two and no solo supplement is printed, so there is no cheaper single rate to ask for. The sea-view cabins carry the lower fare, which makes them the cheaper way to pay for two places: twice IDR 5,150,000 (≈ USD 316) for a 3D2N sailing.

Which cabins can a guest reach without climbing stairs?

Jawa, Papua and Maluku, on the main deck, reach the restaurant and the galley without a staircase. The upper deck and the sun deck need stairs, and there is no lift. Put grandparents and small children in one of those three, and tell them the roof is a climb.

What happens if the boat cannot sail on my date?

You choose between two remedies: another phinisi of the same class or better on your dates at no extra charge, or a full refund within 14 days. The substitution guarantee covers two cases: a breakdown, and a harbour or park authority order that keeps Princess Nabila in port. Gili Lawa in place of Padar is a change of stops, not a failure to sail.

Is 2027 open for booking yet?

Yes. Open-trip dates for 2027 are on the calendar, every Monday and Friday, and the 2027 fares cover sailings from 1 January to 31 July 2027. A charter in that window is priced from the 2027 rate card. Later 2027 dates follow that card until a new one is printed, and the quote names the fare before any deposit. A fare that moves before your balance date is announced to you first, with the option to cancel at no charge.
