The country's search and rescue service announced the toll on Sunday, as an operation to locate the missing remains under way.
Authorities have not released information about the cause of the fire, the total number of people on board, or the ship's route.
Maritime accidents are common in Indonesia, with poor enforcement of safety regulations and overcrowding on vessels among the factors frequently cited.
