An all inclusive Raja Ampat cruise with Komodo Luxury normally covers your cabin, full board, non-alcoholic drinks, snorkel gear, guided excursions, tenders and crew for the quoted route. Government fees, flights to Sorong, alcohol, diving and gratuities sit outside. Your written quotation is the final list.
“All inclusive” is the loosest phrase in Indonesian liveaboard marketing. Two boats can print the same words and send final bills hundreds of dollars apart, because each operator draws its own line between fare and extras. This page shows where that line usually falls, what the extras cost, and how to read a quote so the total holds.
What does “all inclusive” actually mean on a Raja Ampat cruise?
No industry standard exists. What sits inside the fare depends on three things:
- The vessel. A three-cabin phinisi and a 65-metre sailing yacht carry different equipment, crew sizes and service levels.
- The format. A share-trip cabin follows one plan for every guest aboard. A whole-boat charter can be built line by line.
- The route. Fuel and provisioning for a Dampier Strait loop cost less than a Misool crossing or a run north to Wayag.
Komodo Luxury (PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara) was founded in 2015, is headquartered in Denpasar, Bali, and runs its operations base in Labuan Bajo, as listed on Komodo Luxury (checked 2026-09-16). Its reservations team handles Raja Ampat bookings directly. Its Raja Ampat luxury cruise page describes whole-boat voyages as near all-inclusive, with park fees, alcohol and diving excluded. That is a useful baseline. The quotation for your vessel and your dates is still the document that counts.
Which lines usually sit inside the fare?
According to Komodo Luxury’s published package lists, these are the standard inclusions. Tick each one against your own quote before paying a deposit.
- Cabin for the quoted nights, en-suite or shared bathroom depending on the vessel.
- All meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner, cooked on board.
- Non-alcoholic drinks: drinking water, juice, soft drinks, tea and coffee.
- Snorkel equipment (mask, fins, and a wetsuit on luxury vessels) plus life jackets.
- Guided excursions by tender to reefs, beaches and villages on the itinerary, such as Arborek and the Piaynemo viewpoint.
- Crew: captain, engineer, deckhands, chef and a bilingual guide.
- Fuel for the quoted route. Detours beyond it are usually priced as extras.
- Sorong airport transfers, in and out, which Komodo Luxury lists as included on its luxury cruise packages. Confirm this line for share-trip departures.
Komodo Luxury’s share-trip page is shorter: meals, accommodation aboard a phinisi, guided excursions and snorkel gear, with groups of typically 8 to 16 guests. If a line you expected is missing, ask. It may be an extra, or it may simply not have been written down.
What is billed separately?
Government fees. As of 2026, foreign guests pay two charges:
| Fee | Notes |
|---|---|
| Marine Park Conservation Card | Amount set by the authorities; confirm the current figure on your quote |
| Raja Ampat Regency visitor ticket | Amount set by the authorities; confirm the current figure on your quote |
Komodo Luxury arranges both fees for its guests at the prevailing government rate and bills them as a separate line. The authorities set these amounts and can change them, so the quote should show the current figure.
Government tax. Komodo Luxury notes that an Indonesian tax of 11-12% applies on the vessels it marks in its rate table. Ask whether your figure is before or after tax.
Flights and Sorong nights. Every Raja Ampat cruise starts and ends in Sorong, at Domine Eduard Osok airport (SOQ). You connect via Jakarta or Bali on Indonesian carriers, including Garuda; there are no direct international flights. Airfare and any pre-cruise hotel are your own cost. The Sorong departure guide covers the connection.
Diving and alcohol. Scuba is an optional add-on: dive guide, tanks, weights, equipment rental and nitrox are quoted per departure, and not every share-trip sailing runs diving. Wine, beer and spirits are charged on consumption or stocked to order.
Crew gratuity. Discretionary, usually handed to the cruise leader at the end of the trip rather than built into the fare.
How do inclusions change by cruise format?
The pattern below is typical, not fixed. A specific vessel can include more or less, and its quote governs.
| Line item | Share-trip cabin | Private phinisi | Luxury and superyacht tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabin, full board, non-alcoholic drinks | Usually in fare | Usually in fare | Usually in fare |
| Snorkel gear, tenders, guided excursions | Usually in fare | Usually in fare | Usually in fare |
| Crew and guide | Shared across all cabins | Exclusive to your group | Exclusive to your group |
| Route and fuel | Fixed plan for all guests | Quoted route; detours priced | Quoted route; detours priced |
| Sorong airport transfers | Confirm per departure | Confirm on quote | Listed as included on luxury packages |
| Government fees, per foreign guest | Extra | Extra, arranged by the desk | Extra, arranged by the desk |
| Tax of 11-12% | Confirm on quote | Applies on marked vessels | Applies on marked vessels |
| Flights and Sorong hotel | Extra | Extra | Extra |
| Alcohol | On consumption | On consumption or stocked to order | On consumption or stocked to order |
| Dive package | Extra, where the departure offers diving | Extra, quoted per vessel | Extra, quoted per vessel |
| Crew gratuity | Discretionary | Discretionary | Discretionary |
On a whole-boat charter you can have the bar pre-stocked or a dive guide added as quote lines, which brings the quoted total close to what you actually spend. A share-trip cabin has less room for that, because the bar and the dive plan serve everyone aboard.
What does a couple really spend on a 7-night shared cabin?
Start with the unit. Komodo Luxury prices its Share Trip Raja Ampat cabins per cabin, by class (ocean-view, balcony, master) and by season, and quotes each departure separately. It does not publish a fixed per-night share-trip rate, so the cabin line below comes from your quote.
Shared-departure figures circulating online are often Komodo benchmarks, not Raja Ampat rates, and should not be multiplied across a Raja Ampat week. Raja Ampat share-trip cabins are quoted on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions.
| Line item | How it is priced, as of 2026 | Couple, 7 nights |
|---|---|---|
| Share-trip cabin (ocean-view, balcony or master) | Per cabin, by class and season, quoted per departure | From your Komodo Luxury quote |
| Government fees (Marine Park Conservation Card and Regency visitor ticket) | Per foreign guest, at the prevailing government rate | Confirm on your quote |
| Tax of 11-12% | On vessels marked in the rate table | Ask if the quote is tax-inclusive |
| Flights to Sorong, pre-cruise hotel | By carrier and hotel | Not included |
| Alcohol, dive package, gratuity | On consumption, optional, discretionary | Not included |
Balcony and master cabins, and Christmas or New Year dates, sit higher than entry-level cabins. The cabins page explains the class differences.
What does an all inclusive private charter cost per person?
Komodo Luxury’s private Raja Ampat charters are priced per yacht per night for the whole vessel, never per person, and are quoted on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions. Voyages run 5 to 14 nights, with 7 the most common length. The yacht quote comes before fees, tax where it applies, flights and gratuity.
The per-head figure depends on how many guests share that fixed rate, so divide the quoted total by your real headcount.
Capacity is set by the vessel’s cabin plan, so check it before counting heads. The Raja Ampat cruise boats listing shows cabins, capacity and class per vessel, and the price page sets out every format’s rate unit.
Route length moves the total as much as the vessel does:
- Dampier Strait (Cape Kri, Blue Magic, Manta Sandy, Arborek): 4-5 nights. See the central route.
- Wayag, North Raja Ampat: about 7 nights, with ranger-controlled viewpoint landings. See the north route.
- Misool, South: 7-10 nights because of the long crossing, which tends to turn rough from June to August. See the south route.
What should you ask before you confirm?
Six questions show what an “all inclusive” label covers on a given boat:
| Question for the desk | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the rate per cabin, per person, or per yacht per night? | Changes the total more than any other line |
| Are the government fees in the quote or billed separately? | Charged per foreign guest, so a couple pays them twice |
| Is the 11-12% tax included? | Applies on some vessels only |
| What route and fuel does the fare cover? | Detours to Wayag or Misool cost extra if not quoted |
| Are Sorong airport transfers included? | Listed on luxury packages; confirm on share trips |
| How are diving, alcohol and wetsuits charged? | The three most common surprise lines |
Once you have answers in writing, the booking page explains deposits, balance dates and cancellation terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Komodo shared-trip price a Raja Ampat all inclusive cruise price?
No. A Komodo shared-departure benchmark is not a Raja Ampat rate and not a per-night rate. Komodo Luxury quotes Raja Ampat share-trip cabins per cabin, by class and season, for each departure. Ask the desk for the current figure on your dates rather than multiplying a Komodo price across a Raja Ampat week.
Are the Raja Ampat marine park fees included in an all inclusive cruise?
Usually not. Foreign guests pay for the Marine Park Conservation Card and the Regency visitor ticket per person. Komodo Luxury arranges both at the prevailing government rate and lists them as a separate line on the quote.
How much does an all inclusive private Raja Ampat charter cost per person?
Komodo Luxury prices private Raja Ampat charters per yacht per night, quoted on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions. Divide the quoted total by the number of guests for the per-person figure, before government fees, applicable tax, flights and gratuity.
Is scuba diving included in an all inclusive Raja Ampat cruise?
No. Diving is an optional add-on on Komodo Luxury cruises. The dive guide, tanks, weights, equipment rental and nitrox are quoted per departure, and not every share-trip sailing runs diving. Snorkel gear and guided snorkel excursions are part of the standard fare, so non-divers pay nothing extra to get in the water.
Are Sorong airport transfers part of the package?
Komodo Luxury lists Sorong airport transfers, in and out, as included on its Raja Ampat luxury cruise packages. For share-trip cabins and other private vessels, confirm the line on your quote. Flights to Sorong (SOQ) via Jakarta or Bali and any pre-cruise hotel night are not included in any format.
