As you can see, the main difference comes down to exclusivity and cost. For a romantic honeymoon or a private family vacation, the flexibility of a private houseboat is unmatched. However, if you're a solo traveller or a couple on a budget, the shared houseboat provides the exact same scenic cruise and delicious food at a much lower price point, with the added bonus of meeting new people.
