Four letters, each answering a decision you face before booking
Updated 20 October 2026
The guides on this site are four short letters from your concierge. They cover a family's three days, the choice between 3 days and 4 days, what the chef needs to know, and privacy on a charter. Each is worked through for Maheswari, which sleeps up to 20.
Four letters, four decisions
Four decisions come up in the letters we get. How does a family's day run? Is a fourth day worth the money? What should the chef be told? How private is a private charter? Each has its own guide, and each guide answers only that.
A family charter, day by day, follows three days from the night before to the drive home. Choosing between 3 days and 4 days works the price at 8, 12 and 16 guests. What the chef needs to know before you board covers dietary notes, drinks, cakes and dinners on request. The quiet hours: privacy on a private charter covers the evening, the early morning and the crew.
A price quoted in a guide is the price on the price pages, so you can check any figure against the charter page before you decide anything.
The guides, in the order people ask for them
Read them in the order people ask, which is also the order in which a plan takes shape. Families start with the first guide. Parties of eight or more go to the second. Anyone with a dietary need opens the third. Couples and teams who care about space read the fourth.
The cabins come in four classes, two of each: Superior, Signature Ocean, Deluxe Ocean and Master Ocean. Each guide leans on that list. The guides do not repeat the cabins page; they send you to it. A number in a guide is one you can check against the charter page.
Below, the grid lists all four. If your question is not covered, write to us on WhatsApp with the party size and the date.

FAQ
Which guide should I read first?
Families start with the family charter guide. Parties of eight or more read the choice between three days and four. Anyone with a dietary need opens the chef guide, and couples and teams who care about space read the quiet hours.
Do the guides apply to the open trip?
Mostly, yes. The family guide and the chef guide apply to both. The guide on three days and four applies to a charter only, because the open trip runs the 3D2N alone. The quiet hours guide is about a charter.
Can I ask a question the guides do not cover?
Yes. Write to us on WhatsApp with your party size and your date, and we answer the question for your trip.
