Which cabin, when it is not the balcony
The balcony Master cabin on an open trip is on request. If it's free on your date, the quote says so. If not, we quote the other cabin types, and each of them has a private bathroom.
The open-trip price is a from-price. Your written quote names the cabin type and the price per person for it, so you see the figure before you pay anything. If the balcony is the reason you are looking at this trip, say that in the first line of your message.
Missing a date? Take the boat
If none of the 4 dates fits, a private charter can be reserved for any date the boat is free. For two guests, 3D2N on the whole of Thalassa 1 is IDR 50,500,000 (≈ USD 3,098) for the 1 to 5 guest band, fuel included.
Dates for 2027 are on request. The current price list holds until the 2027 list comes out, and if it changes before your balance is due, we tell you first and you can cancel without charge.
Thalassa 2 has no open trip, and its availability is a charter question. A group of 12 to 27 asks for a date, and our team confirms in writing whether the boat is free, with the all-in rate for the band.
