LASHA sleeps up to 26 guests in 10 ensuite cabins numbered 101–206, split across four tiers. Deluxe twins 101–102 and Grand Deluxe twins 103–104 hold the lower deck; Junior Suites 201–204 add a double bed and a private balcony on the main deck; Master Suites 205–206 add an in-suite jacuzzi bathtub beside ocean-view windows. Every cabin has a marble ensuite with rain shower — and there is no per-cabin price, because the whole boat charters from $9,800 per night.
Every charter we sail begins with the same document: a guest list, and ten cabin numbers to set against it. This is our cabin-by-cabin guide to LASHA — the 52.5-metre, 466 GT phinisi we launched in 2023 and sail in Komodo National Park from 17 August 2026 — written for the person holding that list. Read the numbers 101 to 206 the way our charter desk does and assigning every bed takes ten minutes before boarding day, not an hour during it. All ten cabins are ensuite and finished to one standard; what actually differs between them is deck position, bed shape, extra-bed capacity and the two features that settle most family negotiations: the balcony and the jacuzzi.
How Do LASHA’s Cabin Numbers Work?
The first digit is the deck. Cabins 101–104 sit on the lower deck, closest to the waterline; cabins 201–206 run along the main deck beside the living room. Above them, the upper deck carries the Lounge & Resto and the chill area, and the top deck holds the sun deck and bar — four levels in all, with every sleeping cabin on the lower two. The second digit simply counts along the corridor, so 103 is the lower deck’s third cabin and 205 the main deck’s fifth. Here is the complete plan we assign from:
| Cabin | Tier | Deck | Beds | Guests | Extra bed | Balcony | Jacuzzi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | Deluxe | Lower | Twin | 2 | — | — | — |
| 102 | Deluxe | Lower | Twin | 2 | — | — | — |
| 103 | Grand Deluxe | Lower | Twin | 2–3 | Yes | — | — |
| 104 | Grand Deluxe | Lower | Twin | 2–3 | Yes | — | — |
| 201 | Junior Suite | Main | Double | 2 | — | Yes | — |
| 202 | Junior Suite | Main | Double | 2 | — | Yes | — |
| 203 | Junior Suite | Main | Double | 2–3 | Yes | Yes | — |
| 204 | Junior Suite | Main | Double | 2–3 | Yes | Yes | — |
| 205 | Master Suite | Main | Double | 2–3 | Yes | Yes | In-suite bathtub |
| 206 | Master Suite | Main | Double | 2–3 | Yes | Yes | In-suite bathtub |
Four tiers, ten rooms, 26 berths when every extra bed is made up: 20 principal beds plus six extras in 103, 104, 203, 204, 205 and 206. The tier-by-tier comparison, with photography of each category, is on our cabins & suites page.
Deluxe 101 & 102: The Twins That Complete the Ten
Our entry tier, and deliberately not an apology. 101 and 102 each sleep two guests in twin beds with a desk, a wardrobe, individually controlled air conditioning and the same marble bathroom and rain shower we fitted two decks up in the Master Suites. Neither takes an extra bed — two guests, no more — which makes them the cleanest assignment on the plan: friends sharing, colleagues on an incentive charter, the two teenagers who asked to be as far from their parents as a 52.5-metre hull allows. The lower deck is also the steadiest floor on the vessel, nearest the centre of roll, so guests who sleep badly at sea often sleep best here. Room-level detail is on the Deluxe cabin page.
Grand Deluxe 103 & 104: Twins With a Third Berth
One difference separates the Grand Deluxe pair from the Deluxe twins next door: each accepts an extra bed, lifting capacity to three. On family sailings that third berth is usually a child bunking with grandparents or an older cousin joining two friends; on dive charters it is often the buddy who booked late. Same deck, same twin configuration, same marble ensuite — the Grand Deluxe cabins are simply where our plan flexes first when a group grows past twenty. If your list has an odd number on it, pencil the odd guest into 103 or 104 before anywhere else.
Junior Suite Balcony 201–204: Doubles on the Main Deck
Move up one deck and the bed changes shape. Each of our four Junior Suites carries a double bed and a private balcony that opens straight onto the passing islands — morning coffee before the ship wakes, a reading chair while the tender runs a snorkel group to the reef. Within the tier there is one split worth knowing: 203 and 204 take an extra bed for a third guest, while 201 and 202 stay at two. Couples inside a larger group settle here naturally, and a couple travelling with one child should ask us for 203 or 204 specifically. The Junior Suite Balcony page walks the room in full.
Master Suite 205 & 206: The Two Rooms Every Group Negotiates Over
Our top tier holds the main deck’s aft positions: double bed plus optional extra bed, private balcony, and the feature no other cabin carries — an in-suite jacuzzi bathtub set against ocean-view windows, so the water in the tub and the water of the park share one frame. White-and-ivory finish, brass-gold detailing, the largest floor plans aboard. These are the rooms for the couple the charter is actually about: honeymooners, the anniversary pair, the grandparents at the centre of a three-generation sailing, the friend who organised all 26 people. When two parties both want one, our standing suggestion has never failed: hosts take 205, guests of honour take 206. The full tour is on the Master Suite page.
Which Cabin Should Each Guest Book?
Set the guest list against the plan in this order and the map draws itself:
- The hosts, or the couple the trip celebrates — Master Suite 205 or 206. The jacuzzi and balcony do the anniversary work for you.
- Other couples in the group — Junior Suites 201–204. Doubles and balconies, one deck up from the twins.
- A couple with one child — 203, 204, 205 or 206, the doubles that take an extra bed.
- Friends, siblings or colleagues sharing — Deluxe 101–102 or Grand Deluxe 103–104. Twin beds end the who-sleeps-where question before it starts.
- Three sharing on a budget of space — Grand Deluxe 103 or 104, the only twins with a third berth.
- Anyone wary of motion — any lower-deck cabin, 101–104. Closest to the waterline, smallest movement on an overnight passage.
- Early risers who want outdoor space of their own — any balcony cabin, 201–206.
Send us the list with names and who shares with whom, and we return it with a cabin number beside every name before boarding day. On a full 26-guest sailing the assignments above fill all ten rooms with nobody drawing a cabin they have to apologise for — the reason we finished 101 to the same standard as 206.
The Cabin Maths of a Full Boat
No cabin aboard LASHA has a price, because no cabin aboard LASHA is sold on its own. We sail as a private whole-boat charter only: from $9,800 per night on the Komodo · Alor · Sumbawa · Bali routes (minimum 2 nights) and from $11,600 per night on Raja Ampat · Banda Sea · Wakatobi expeditions (minimum 5 nights). Rates step with guest count and with leisure-versus-dive charters — never with cabin tier — so the guest in Deluxe 101 pays exactly what the guest in Master Suite 206 pays. Komodo National Park entrance fees of $25–35 per guest per night, depending on route, are billed separately. The complete 2026–2027 tables are on our rates page, and the multi-night rhythm those cabins are built for — sleeping aboard at anchor, night after night — is explained on the LASHA liveaboard page.
Plan your LASHA charter — send your dates, group size and guest list, and the charter desk replies with availability, a cabin assignment for every name and a full quote. The step-by-step process is on our booking page.
