A LASHA cruise is a private charter aboard the newest luxury phinisi in Komodo — a 52.5-metre, 466GT vessel sailing from Labuan Bajo since her maiden season began on 17 August 2026. Ten ensuite cabins across four decks host up to 26 guests, with charters from US$21,600 for a 3D2N private charter booked through the official desk at lashacruise.com.
Launched for her maiden season on 17 August 2026, LASHA is the newest luxury phinisi operating in the Komodo archipelago — and, at 52.5 metres and 466 gross tonnes, among the largest ever built for private charter here. Her hull is ulin ironwood and teak, shaped by Buginese shipwrights in the tradition that made the phinisi an icon of Indonesian seafaring. She sails from her home port of Labuan Bajo under Komodo Luxury, the operator established in 2015.
What Makes a LASHA Cruise Different from Other Komodo Charters?
Scale, first. Most phinisi in the Komodo fleet carry five to seven cabins; LASHA carries ten, all ensuite, arranged across four decks for up to 26 guests. Two Master Suites come with a private jacuzzi and balcony, four Junior Suites open onto balconies of their own, and two Grand Deluxe and two Deluxe cabins complete the plan. The shared spaces are equally deliberate: a sun-deck jacuzzi positioned for golden hour, a dedicated dive deck that keeps tanks and gear away from the lounging areas, and a full Lounge & Resto that serves as restaurant, bar and living room at sea. The effect is less a boat with rooms than a boutique hotel that happens to sail.
How Does a Day on Board Unfold — Dining, Diving, and the Sunset Anchorage?
A typical charter day begins with an early trek — Padar’s ridgeline, or the ranger-guided dragon trails of Komodo and Rinca — followed by breakfast in the Lounge & Resto while the captain repositions for the morning swim, snorkel or dive. The dedicated dive deck makes the vessel unusually capable underwater: divers gear up and step off without crossing the sun deck, and the park’s famous manta sites sit within easy range of most routes. Afternoons belong to slower pleasures — a swim off the stern, the jacuzzi as the light softens over the savannah islands. Every LASHA cruise day closes at a sunset anchorage the crew selects for stillness rather than convenience, with dinner served as the karst silhouettes turn amber, then black.
Which Itineraries Can You Sail from Labuan Bajo?
Charters run from a Full Day at sea (US$11,000) to a nine-day, eight-night expedition (US$86,400) reaching the park’s quiet northern and southern frontiers. The most requested formats are the 3D2N weekend loop, the 5D4N circuit that adds the less-visited southern sites, and the 7D6N grand tour for guests who want the whole park without repetition. A 2D1N special departure is offered at US$13,900. Current departure windows are published on the official LASHA website.
What Does It Cost to Charter LASHA?
Starting from $21,600 for a whole-boat 3D2N private charter (1–14 pax, leisure rate).

Please note that a relocation fee will be applicable if the cruise is required to sail Komodo, Alor, Lombok, Bali, or for its return trip to the home port in Labuan Bajo, should the charter dates fall outside our designated scheduled periods for these destinations.
The table above is pulled live from LASHA’s Price Bank rate card: every duration from 3D2N to 10D9N, for every party size from 1–14 up to 22 guests, with Leisure and Diving rates and the free-of-charge (FOC) allowance shown side by side — no figure here is split, averaged or estimated. A fee of US$25 per person per night applies on top of the charter rate shown; the same figures are also published on the vessel’s official rate card.
Is LASHA Right for Honeymoons and Family Groups?
Both, in different ways. A LASHA cruise honeymoon centres on the Master Suite — a private jacuzzi and balcony over the water — with the crew shaping the route around empty beaches and unhurried mornings. Families and multi-generation groups use the ten-cabin plan differently: grandparents in the Grand Deluxe cabins, children within reach, and four decks of separation so early risers and late sleepers never have to negotiate. At full charter the arithmetic also softens: a 7D6N grand tour shared by fourteen guests works out to roughly US$4,600 per person for six nights aboard a 52.5-metre private vessel — boutique-resort pricing for a floating one.
