**A 4D3N Flores cruise with Arunika Cruises runs, as of 2026, from roughly USD 620 per person in a lower-deck ensuite cabin to USD 1,150-plus in an upper-deck master cabin, quote-confirmed at booking. Komodo National Park entrance fees are a separate, non-refundable line item paid on top of the cruise fare.**
Those are indicative comfort-class fares for a scheduled shared departure — the four-day, three-night ensuite small-ship voyage Arunika Cruises operates through Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo. Public per-person prices in this category are almost always quote-based rather than listed, so treat every figure below as a 2026 starting point, subject to change and confirmed by the reservations team once you lock dates.
What does a 4D3N Flores cruise cost per person?
Your fare is set by one thing above all else: which ensuite cabin you book. Arunika sells this voyage by cabin class, so a solo traveller on the lower deck and a couple in the master cabin can sail the exact same route at very different price points.
| Cabin class (shared 4D3N) | Indicative per-person fare, 2026 | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Lower-deck ensuite | from ~USD 620 (≈ IDR 9.8M) | Solo travellers, value-minded couples |
| Main-deck ensuite | from ~USD 820 (≈ IDR 13M) | Couples wanting a window and more room |
| Upper-deck master cabin | from ~USD 1,150 (≈ IDR 18M) | Best views, most privacy |
| Full-ship buyout (private) | from ~USD 6,500 (≈ IDR 103M) total | Families, groups, guests with under-16s |
Figures are indicative and date-stamped to July 2026; the IDR equivalents move with the exchange rate. Shared departures carry a minimum age of 16, so families travelling with younger children book the full-ship buyout — which also unlocks private departure dates rather than the fixed weekly schedule. Every fare is confirmed on quote before any deposit changes hands.
For contrast only: backpacker “deck-class” berths on open-deck Lombok-to-Flores boats sell for around IDR 1.5 million per person. That is a different product entirely — shared sleeping mats, 40-plus passengers, no private cabin. Arunika’s 4D3N is ensuite comfort class, so the two rarely belong on the same shortlist.
What does the extra day and night add over the 3D2N?
The 4D3N is the fuller build of the same Komodo-arc product. The added night and sailing day buy more time at the marquee anchorages rather than a quicker loop past them.
| What you get | 3D2N (Mon–Wed) | 4D3N (Thu–Sun) |
|---|---|---|
| Nights in your ensuite cabin | 2 | 3 |
| Full sailing days on the water | about 2 | about 3 |
| Padar sunrise-hike windows | usually 1 | often 2 |
| Komodo & Rinca dragon walks | yes | yes, with more time ashore |
| Pink Beach + Manta Point snorkel | one pass | longer or repeat stops |
| Room for extra anchorages (Kanawa, Kelor) | limited | yes |
Both durations cover the core Komodo National Park highlights — the Padar sunrise climb, ranger-guided dragon walks on Komodo and Rinca, Pink Beach and the mantas at Manta Point. The third night simply spreads them across a calmer pace. Longer eastbound routes toward Riung’s 17 Islands, Ende and Maumere sail as separate multi-day voyages, not as an add-on to this itinerary.
What’s included — and what’s a separate line item?
Typically included in the 4D3N fare:
- Ensuite cabin accommodation for three nights aboard
- All onboard meals, snacks, drinking water, tea and coffee
- English-speaking cruise crew and guide
- Ranger-guided walks on Komodo and Rinca
- Snorkelling gear and onboard equipment
- Airport and port transfers around Labuan Bajo (the port sits about 15 minutes from Komodo Airport)
Paid separately, on top of the fare:
- Komodo National Park entrance fees — non-refundable and quoted at booking. The park is managed by Balai Taman Nasional Komodo under Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK); exact fee tables are not publicly citable, so treat any figure as subject to change.
- Flights to Komodo Airport (IATA code LBJ)
- A pre-cruise hotel night in Labuan Bajo — operators advise arriving one day early
- Travel insurance, strongly recommended (cancellation, medical, disruption)
- Personal extras, tips and premium alcohol
How does booking a 4D3N cruise work?
The scheduled 4D3N runs on a fixed weekly rhythm. Following the market-standard pattern used by operators such as Le Pirate Explorer as of 2026, the four-day voyage departs every Thursday and returns Sunday around 15:00. Meeting time is 09:00–09:30 at the operator office; the boat leaves at 10:00 sharp.
- Get your quote. Message the concierge with travel dates, cabin class and passenger count for a firm 4D3N per-person price plus a park-fee estimate.
- Secure the booking. A 10% non-refundable deposit holds your cabin and departure date.
- Know the balance terms. A further 25% is refundable only if you cancel 14 or more days before departure. The final 65%, plus Komodo National Park fees, is non-refundable and due 14 days out.
- Plan your arrival. Fly into Komodo Airport (LBJ) and reach Labuan Bajo the day before to absorb flight delays. Arrange travel insurance before you sail.
- Board on Thursday. Meet at 09:00–09:30, sail at 10:00, and return to Labuan Bajo on Sunday around 15:00.
When should you sail a 4D3N Flores cruise?
Arunika sails the Komodo–Flores waters in the April-to-September window, in line with premium operators like Aqua Expeditions, which runs the Bali–Komodo–Flores region April to September only to avoid the harsher conditions the rest of the year. Independent guides rate April to June as the sweet spot: greener islands, better underwater visibility at Manta Point, and thinner crowds on the Padar sunrise climb. Book Thursday departures in this window early — the lower-deck cabins and the full-ship buyout dates fill fastest.
