About Us
About Us
Welcome to Mayooram Cruises — your gateway to authentic houseboat experiences in Alappuzha. Since our founding in 2003 by Mr. Anilkumar, we have grown from a single traditional Kettuvallam to a premium fleet of luxury houseboats, each designed to blend Kerala’s rich heritage with modern comfort. Under the visionary leadership of Adarsh Anilkumar, our family-run company continues to uphold a legacy of excellence while championing sustainable tourism on the serene backwaters of Alleppey.
Our Journey and Mission
What began as a passion for sharing Kerala’s backwater charm has become a commitment to crafting customized itineraries that immerse you in local culture. From day cruises through peaceful canals to overnight stays under the stars, each voyage is thoughtfully curated to showcase hidden villages, ancient temples, and lush mangrove landscapes. Our mission is simple: to deliver unforgettable memories by combining genuine hospitality, eco-friendly practices, and exquisite traditional Kerala cuisine prepared fresh on board.
Why Choose Mayooram Cruises
Authentic Kerala Houseboat Stays: Glide along Alappuzha’s waterways in comfort. Our vessels feature wooden furnishings, spacious decks, and air-conditioned cabins that open onto panoramic views of the backwaters.
Personalized Itineraries: Whether you seek a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a cultural deep dive, our team designs experiences to match your interests and schedule.
Sustainable Practices: Guided by Adarsh’s passion for eco-tourism, we minimize our environmental footprint with solar-powered lighting, waste-management protocols, and support for local fishing communities.
Culinary Delights: Savor a menu of authentic Kerala dishes—fish curry, steamed rice, crispy pappadams, and freshly brewed tea—prepared by our onboard chefs using locally sourced ingredients.
Our Promise
Immerse yourself in an experience where every detail is crafted for your delight. As the emerald waters of Alappuzha glide past, unwind on the spacious teakwood deck with a cup of freshly brewed Kerala chai, while our knowledgeable crew regales you with tales of bygone eras and local legends. Whether you choose a leisurely sunset cruise or an overnight voyage under a canopy of stars, you’ll find tailor-made comforts at every turn: plush linens, aromatic spices wafting from the galley, and soft, ambient lighting that evokes the warmth of Kerala’s hospitality.
Our trained stewards anticipate your needs before you even ask—serving piping hot traditional snacks, arranging spontaneous visits to sleepy riverside hamlets, or guiding you through gentle yoga stretches at dawn. Safety is paramount: each vessel is equipped with life jackets, first-aid kits, and GPS tracking, and our certified captains navigate the labyrinth of lagoons with expert care.
Beyond the luxury, Mayooram Cruises is your passport to genuine connections. Share a laugh with local fishermen as they cast nets at sunrise, learn the art of coir weaving from village artisans, or simply recline as kingfishers and herons flit across mirror-like waters. Here, time slows, stress fades, and every breath of fresh backwater air renews your spirit.
Join us for a seamless journey where comfort, culture, and conservation converge—and let the soul-soothing beauty of Kerala’s backwaters become the backdrop for your most treasured memories.
