Lakshadweep Ship Classes: Cabins and Seating Guide
Compare the Lakshadweep passenger-ship classes described by the Administration. Confirm the vessel, berth or seat and exact class before booking.

The Lakshadweep Administration describes three broad passenger-ship accommodation formats:
- A/C First Class with two-berth cabins
- A/C Second Class with four-berth cabins
- Push-back or bunk-class air-conditioned seating
The class available to book depends on the actual vessel and sailing. A class mentioned on the Administration’s general information page is not a promise that it will appear for every route or date.
A/C First Class
The official page describes this as a two-berth cabin.
Before selecting it, check whether the booking result confirms a cabin, how passengers are assigned and what the ticket says about occupancy. This guide does not infer cabin size, bathroom arrangement or other facilities that the source does not specify.
A/C Second Class
The official description is a four-berth cabin.
Confirm whether all berths are included in your booking or whether individual berths are assigned. Use the exact class wording shown in the current reservation system.
Push-back or bunk class
The Administration groups push-back or bunk-class travel under air-conditioned seating. Those are not necessarily the same physical arrangement.
Check the exact class, berth or seat shown for the chosen vessel. Do not rely on a photo from another ship.
Onboard information published by the Administration
The How to Reach page says a doctor is available on call onboard. It also specifically mentions comfortable air-conditioned seating on MV Amindivi and MV Minicoy.
The site does not expand those statements into a fixed onboard-facility list. Food service, accessibility, charging, bedding, luggage storage and cabin facilities should be confirmed for the selected sailing when they matter to your trip.
Choosing a class
Compare:
- the exact seat or berth arrangement
- overnight comfort required by the traveller
- mobility and health needs
- number and age of passengers
- baggage instructions
- current fare
- cancellation conditions
A higher class does not solve a route mismatch. Confirm the destination, permit and accommodation before paying for the cabin.
