Komodo liveaboards offer both private cabins and shared dorm style rooms, depending on the type of boat you choose. Most mid range and luxury phinisi ships have private cabins with air conditioning, comfortable beds, and ensuite bathrooms. These rooms are designed for couples, small families, or travellers who want more privacy and a quieter place to rest after a full day of activities. Boats like Elrora and our other partner phinisis focus heavily on private cabin comfort.
Budget and backpacker style boats often use shared dorms or bunk style cabins. These rooms fit more guests in a single space and help keep the trip affordable. Dorm cabins are simple, but they work well for younger travellers, friends, and solo guests who enjoy a more social atmosphere. Air conditioning is usually available at night, and bathrooms may be shared between passengers.
Choosing the right cabin depends on your comfort preferences. Private cabins offer more space, better sleep, and more privacy, especially when the sea is rough. Shared dorms are a good option if you prefer budget travel or do not mind sharing with other guests. Both room types still give you the same access to all activities, meals, and snorkelling spots on the itinerary.
If you want help choosing between private or shared cabins, just let us know. We can check availability across Elrora and all of our trusted partner boats and find a cabin type that fits your travel style and budget.
