Top deck
Mansard I
The forward master on the top deck: queen bed, en-suite, and a private balcony that looks straight down the bow.
Price list
What Neptune Cruise actually costs
Two ways to sail: take a cabin on a shared departure, or take the whole boat. Shared cabins are priced per person and start at USD 610 for the 3D2N. A private charter is priced per vessel and starts at USD 8,900.
Everything below is the published rate. Komodo National Park entrance, ranger and activity fees sit outside it and are collected in cash on the day — they vary by nationality, by day of the week and by whether you are trekking, snorkelling or diving.
What you are buying
The seven cabins, and what each costs
Rates below are per person on the shared 3D2N departure. On a charter the cabins come with the boat.
Top deck
Mansard II
The second top-deck master, identical in size and finish, with its own balcony and the shortest walk to the sundeck.
Main deck
Junior Suite
Main-deck cabin with a queen bed and full en-suite, a few steps from the indoor dining room and the lounge.
Lower deck
Deluxe
Lower-deck cabin with a queen bed, en-suite and a sea-view window — the steadiest berths on board in a swell.
Shared cabin
Per-person rates on the 3D2N departure
Book a cabin rather than the boat. You sail with up to nineteen other guests on the signature three-day, two-night route.
| Cabin | Deck | Per person | Additional guest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Mansard I & II | Top deck | USD 850 | USD 410 |
| Junior Suite | Main deck | USD 730 | USD 410 |
| Deluxe | Lower deck | USD 610 | USD 310 |
Every cabin is en-suite and air-conditioned. Park fees are paid separately in cash.
Whole-boat charter
Private charter rates
One price for the entire vessel, all seven cabins and up to twenty guests. Rates are per charter, not per person.
| Duration | Whole boat | Additional guest |
|---|---|---|
| 2D1N | USD 8,900 | USD 500 |
| 3D2N | USD 11,450 | USD 500 |
| 4D3N | USD 14,000 | USD 500 |
| 5D4N | USD 16,550 | USD 550 |
| 6D5N | USD 19,050 | USD 550 |
| 7D6N | USD 20,950 | USD 550 |

Paid separately
Park fees, and why we will not quote one number
Komodo National Park bills as separate components: an entrance ticket that differs for foreign and domestic visitors and rises on Sundays and public holidays, a ranger or trekking fee usually charged per ranger per group, a snorkelling fee per person per day, a higher diving fee per diver per day, a conservation and insurance levy, a harbour fee, and camera or drone permits.
Traveller and operator reports cluster in a range rather than a figure, and the components change. We would rather be accurate than convenient: budget for it in cash, and ask us for the current breakdown close to your dates.
Payment
How booking works
How do we pay?
Directly with the operator, never through an agent, using Stripe, Airwallex, American Express, Visa or Mastercard.
Is the rate per person or per boat?
Shared cabin rates are per person. Private charter rates are for the whole vessel, up to twenty guests, with an additional-guest rate above your base party.
Are the rates seasonal?
The published rate card is the one above. Peak dry-season dates between June and September go first, so availability rather than price is usually the constraint.
What is not in the price?
Park fees, flights to Labuan Bajo, alcohol, dive packages, travel insurance and crew gratuities.
