A Raja Ampat share trip cruise sells one private cabin on a shared phinisi itinerary, so couples and solos pay per cabin rather than chartering the whole boat. Komodo Luxury’s Share Trip Raja Ampat 2026: Cabin Cruise is priced by cabin class and season, with each cabin quoted on request for the departure date, duration, guest count and inclusions.
Share trip, open trip, cabin cruise: three names for one product. You book a cabin, the operator fills the rest with other guests, and everyone follows one fixed route out of Sorong. This page is the desk for all three formats.
What exactly is a Raja Ampat share trip cruise?
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). It lists the product as “Share Trip Raja Ampat 2026: Cabin Cruise”. Its reservations team prices each departure per cabin in three classes: ocean-view, balcony and master. The cabin rate also moves with the season.
You do not need a group. A solo traveller takes one cabin, a couple takes one cabin, four friends take two. The route, the crew and the meal plan are shared; the door to your cabin is not.
How much does a share trip cabin cost per person?
Komodo Luxury quotes shared luxury phinisi cabins on request for the specific departure, duration, guest count, cabin class and inclusions. For context, LASHA Phinisi sets a five-night minimum, with its per-person rate and entrance fee quoted on request.
Komodo Luxury prices its Komodo open trips separately; Raja Ampat is longer and more remote, so the per-person total runs higher.
Every cabin class and route below is quoted per departure.
| Cabin class | Shoulder season (May-Jun, Sep) | Core season (Oct-Apr) | Central / Dampier Strait, 4-5 nights | North / Wayag, 7 nights | South / Misool, 7-10 nights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean-view | quoted per departure | quoted per departure | on request | on request | on request |
| Balcony | ocean-view rate plus class supplement | quoted per departure | on request | on request | on request |
| Master | top class on board, quoted per departure | quoted per departure | on request | on request | on request |
All cabin prices are subject to the quotation for your exact date. Komodo Luxury quotes 2027 departures on request, per its site update in September 2026.
Which route fits a 4, 5, 7 or 10 night share trip?
The Central zone around the Dampier Strait, meaning Cape Kri, Sardine Reef, Blue Magic, Manta Sandy, Arborek and Mansuar, fits four to five nights because the sites sit close together. North Raja Ampat and the Wayag karst need about seven nights, with landings controlled by rangers. South Raja Ampat and Misool need seven to ten nights because of the long crossing from Sorong.
Komodo Luxury’s advertised regions are Wayag, Misool, the Dampier Strait and the Fam Islands; its 11-day, 10-night itinerary includes the Papuan village of Arborek. Shorter share-trip dates usually stay Central; longer ones add Wayag or Misool.
Season shapes the choice too. October to April brings calm seas and the best Dampier and Wayag conditions. May, June and September are shoulder months. June to August is windier, and a rough Sorong-Misool crossing can push southern departures north.
What is included in a share trip cabin, and what is not?
Every quote lists its own inclusions. This is the usual split; confirm the exact line items on the written quote before paying.
| Usually included in the cabin rate | Usually excluded, paid separately |
|---|---|
| Private cabin, full-board meals, drinking water, tea and coffee | Marine Park Conservation Card, current rate confirmed at booking |
| Cruise director, crew, dinghy transfers to snorkel and land sites on the itinerary | Raja Ampat Regency visitor ticket, set by Raja Ampat Regency and confirmed at booking |
| Sorong harbour or airport pickup on boarding day, drop-off on the final morning | Flights to and from Sorong, hotel nights in Sorong before or after the cruise |
| Basic snorkelling equipment on most boats (confirm on the quote) | Alcoholic drinks, dive packages and gear where offered, crew gratuities, travel insurance |
Both fees can change, so confirm the current amounts on your quote. The Conservation Card is sold at Sorong and Waisai counters or arranged by the operator.
How does booking a share trip cabin work?
- Send your month and cabin class. WhatsApp 628113823875 or email sales@komodoluxury.com with the preferred month, the cabin class (ocean-view, balcony or master) and the number of guests.
- Receive the live departure calendar. The reservations team replies with open dates, the route for each date and a per-cabin quote.
- Hold the cabin. A deposit, stated on the quote, secures the cabin. Peak dates between October and April sell out earliest; book eight to twelve months ahead. Raja Ampat drew about 33,277 visitors in 2024, up from 19,839 in 2023 according to BPS Raja Ampat, and cabin supply has not kept pace.
- Book flights to Sorong (Domine Eduard Osok, SOQ). Only after the cabin is confirmed. There are no direct international flights; connect via Jakarta or Bali on Indonesian carriers including Garuda. Sorong added seven pioneer routes in early 2025, including Marinda (Waisai) to Kabare.
- Settle the balance and government fees. The timeline sits on your quote; the fees are collected on the itinerary or arranged in advance.
- Board in Sorong. Safety and route briefing from the crew, then sail.
Share trip or private charter: which one should you take?
A shared cabin suits one to four guests who accept a fixed route. A private charter suits groups from about six, or anyone who wants to set the route. Private Raja Ampat charters are priced for the whole vessel and quoted on request for the specific vessel, dates, duration, guest count and inclusions.
> Request your departure date. Send your preferred month, cabin class and guest count to the Komodo Luxury concierge on WhatsApp 628113823875 or sales@komodoluxury.com. The reservations team replies with the live share-trip calendar and a per-cabin quote. Prices are indicative as of 2026; availability, weather and wildlife are never guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a solo traveller book a Raja Ampat share trip cabin without a single supplement?
Komodo Luxury prices the share trip per cabin, so a solo guest pays the cabin rate rather than two per-person fares. Whether that amounts to a supplement depends on the departure, so ask the desk for the solo cabin price on your exact date; 2026 quotes vary by season and cabin class.
How far ahead should I book a share trip cabin for a December Wayag departure?
Book eight to twelve months ahead for peak dates between October and April, and earlier still for Wayag or Misool departures, because those seven- to ten-night routes have fewer sailings. December sits inside the core season, so the live calendar from the reservations team is the only reliable guide to what remains open.
Do share trip prices include the Raja Ampat government fees?
Usually not. The Marine Park Conservation Card and the Raja Ampat Regency visitor ticket are typically billed separately, with current amounts confirmed at booking. Your written quote states whether the operator collects them in advance or on board.
What happens if a share trip departure does not fill its cabins?
Share trips need a minimum number of booked cabins to sail. If a date falls short, the reservations team offers an alternative departure or route under the cancellation terms written on your quote. Ask before paying the deposit how each departure’s minimum is handled and by what date the sailing is confirmed.
