Spice Coast Cruises
Seven houseboats made from real rice barges, with a chef on board.
1 / 7
These are converted cargo kettuvallams rather than new boats built to look old, with split-bamboo and coir roofs and natural cloth inside.
Each has one or two cabins and a chef who cooks to order, using what was at the market that morning.
