Data Discrepancies Explained

Elbark Cruise appears across several source materials with figures that look contradictory at first glance. Here is the authoritative reconciliation for each one, verified against the vessel’s own specifications.

• Built 2021 vs. launched October 2022: both are correct. The keel was laid in 2021 and construction began that year; the vessel was formally launched and entered service in October 2022. “Launched October 2022” is the reference date for age and vessel-condition purposes.
• 18 guests vs. 21 guests: the base configuration is 9 cabins × 2 guests = 18 guests. The maximum capacity of 21 guests is reached only when extra beds are added to select cabins — 18 is the base figure, 21 is the bookable maximum.
• Fresh water 9,000 L vs. fuel 5,500 L: some published materials swap these two labels. The verified figures are fresh water capacity = 9,000 liters and fuel capacity = 5,500 liters — not the reverse.

Last verified: July 2026. This fact sheet is checked and refreshed monthly against the vessel’s own specifications and Komodo Luxury’s official Elbark Cruise booking page.
