MANILA TO CEBU via 2GO Travel • What to Expect, How to Board Ferry

These days, if anyone brings up traveling from Manila to Cebu, our minds take us to the skies. I know this because when I mentioned to my family and friends that I was Cebu-bound, they assumed without question that I would be checking in at an airport. But they were wrong. Because this time around, I’m taking my love for travel to the seas!

Cebu is one of the most popular destinations in the country. While many would instinctively search for flights a prospect of a Cebu trip, there are still a lot out there who prefer traveling by sea. Yes, the travel time is much longer but it comes with several perks, too. First, year-round fares are often cheaper. Second, baggage allowance is waaaay larger. Third, if you book a modern ship, it usually comes with amenities to help you burn those hours.

I recently got to experience traveling from Manila to Cebu on board MV 2GO Maligaya , one of 2GO Travel’s newest fleet members. In this article, we’ll share with you how to sail to Cebu with 2GO Travel!

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

Upon arrival at the port, you need to follow these steps strictly in order to board your vessel:

• Arrive at the passenger terminal early. If you have cargo or checked baggage, you need to check in at least four (4) hours in order to clear security inspection in time.

Are pets allowed on the vessel?

Please get in touch with 2GO directly for the specific documents or permits needed.

What was it like to sail with 2GO? How was the experience?

Personally, I’ve never experienced traveling on a ship prior this ship. A few people I know have never tried or even considered traveling this way because they were afraid of the thought of being in the open sea and feeling huge waves while on board. I myself isn’t scared of waves and I don’t get sea sick easily. But if you’re one of those people, I don’t think you should worry much about it. I didn’t really feel the vessel move for the most part. It felt like I was in a hotel on land.

What I was concerned about was the long travel time and the possibility of being bored with nothing to do on the ship. The journey from Manila to Cebu took us almost 24 hours, but surprisingly and thankfully, I didn’t get bored at any point. Activities and amenities on board would keep you occupied for much of the journey and it could make you feel like it’s already a part of your vacation.

2GO MANILA to CEBU – Ferry Schedules & Fares

Despite the push and pull with Iloilo over the crown of “Queen City of the South,” it’s really no question why Cebu is a top pick for visitors to the Philippines. With sun-soaked coastlines, deep connections with our Hispanic past, and streets bursting with grub, you’ll find yourself enchanted by this province at the heart of the archipelago.

Among the more prosperous capital cities in the country, Cebu City serves as a jump-off point for a myriad of tourist attractions located across the province. For thrill-seekers, make your way to Kawasan Falls in Badian for some canyoneering in the multi-tiered falls. Meanwhile, for beach lovers, let the gorgeous white shores and clear waters of Malapascua and Bantayan Island court you.

WHAT'S IN THIS GUIDE?

Getting to Cebu from Manila

If you’re coming from Manila, advice will usually lead you to booking plane tickets bound for Cebu. However, if you want to experience a different way to travel or have more time, Cebu is also accessible from Manila by sea. 2Go Travel regularly sails from Manila to Cebu and vice versa. Compared to booking a flight, 2Go has cheaper year-round fares and comes with a baggage allowance of – here’s the kicker – 50kg.

If we’ve piqued your interest, you’ll want to check out this post on 2GO Manila to Cebu fares & schedules. We’re throwing in a few tips as well so read ’til the end!

Sailing Schedule

2Go Travel uses two different vessels for the Manila to Cebu route: St. Therese of Child Jesus and MV 2GO Masagana , which is a bigger and more modern ship. The schedule indicated below is based on 2Go Travel’s April 2024 sailing schedule.

Note that these schedules may change, so it’s best to check the updated schedule for your intended travel date. You can visit 2Go’s website to see updates on their sailing schedule.

Manila to Cebu

• Monday Sailing Departure (Manila): Monday, 7:30 AM Arrival (Cebu): Tuesday, 4:00 PM
• Wednesday Sailing Departure (Manila): Wednesday, 7:00 PM Arrival (Cebu): Thursday, 5:00 PM
• Thursday Sailing Departure (Manila): Thursday, 11:30 PM Arrival (Cebu): Saturday, 12:00 AM
• Sunday Sailing Departure (Manila): Sunday, 7:00 AM Arrival (Cebu): Monday, 5:00 AM

Cebu to Manila

• Friday Sailing Departure (Cebu): Friday, 10:00 PM Arrival (Manila): Saturday, 8:00 PM
• Saturday Sailing Departure (Cebu): Saturday, 4:30 AM Arrival (Manila): Sunday, 11:30 PM

How much are the Manila-Cebu tickets?

2GO Travel observes dynamic ticket pricing so ticket prices vary based on different factors including how close you book a ticket to your travel date. Tickets are also priced according to the accommodation type you choose, which may differ on the vessel.

To give you insight on ticket prices, here’s the sample rates from their website for a sailing booked one month in advance.

MV 2GO Maligaya

• Mega Value Class: P837.13
• Tourist Class Premium: P1194.28

St. Therese of Child Jesus

• Super Value Class: P854.99
• Tourist Class: P1837.13

Tickets are priced per bed for all room types except for STATE and SUITE rooms, which are priced per room. All tickets are inclusive of linens and meals on board. However, note that the prices indicated above are merely gross fare and are still subject to taxes and fees.

How to book 2GO Travel tickets?

There are multiple ways to book a ticket for your trip. First, go to a 2GO branch near you. You can also book tickets at SM Business Centers , which are located in SM Malls.

Your second option is to download the 2Go App on your mobile device and book a ticket from there. Another way to book a ticket online is by going to 2GO Travel’s website . Payment options for online bookings include credit/debit card, GCash, Maya, GrabPay, and more through paynamics. You can also choose to pay over-the-counter at SM Bills Payment Center, 7Eleven, Cebuana Lhuiller, M Lhuiller, and other accredited stores indicated on their website.

But before you’re able to use the app, you’ll need internet connection. Safe, secure, and reliable free WiFi is sparse in the Philippines, so it’s best to have your own private connection. If you are a foreign tourist exploring the Philippines, you can either purchase a local SIM card or rent a pocket WiFi unit to help with this. SIM cards and pocket WiFi devices are available at the airport.

How long is the travel time?

The journey from Manila to Cebu takes 21 hours or more depending on the sailing date4. I know, I know. It’s a far cry from your 1.5-hour travel time should you choose to board a plane instead. This option really isn’t for travelers with tight schedules, but if you’re feeling generous with your time, 21 hours may not seem like much. Note that for Cebu to Manila schedules, one sailing schedule takes much longer since the vessel also makes a stop in Butuan City in Agusan del Norte before heading to Manila.

How to Get to Manila Port?

2Go’s passenger terminal is located at Pier 4, North Harbour in Manila City.

By Taxi or Grab

Taking a taxi or booking through a ride-hailing app like Grab or Joyride is the easiest way to reach the port. Just put North Harbour Pier 4 Zaragosa Gate as your drop off location. This is the passenger gate of the port.

By Public Transportation

• Make your way to LRT 1 Carriedo Station or LRT 2 Recto Station.
• Ride a jeepney going to North Harbour and get off near Jollibee North Harbour.
• Walk or ride a tricycle to Pier 4 Zaragosa Gate.

If you’re coming from the airport, you may also check our NAIA to Manila transport guide to help you get to the port.

2Go Promo Tickets

To grab the best deals with 2Go, shop during seasonal sales periods. 2Go Travel promo tickets are a great way to save big on your sea journey. The best strategy to take advantage of this is to subscribe to the company’s pages in social media. There are both promos for immediate travel and advanced booking.

• 2Go has really placed a premium on the safety and comfort of their passengers. Security checks of luggage are always conducted. There is a sufficient number of life jackets on board, lifeboats, an in-house medical unit, a rescue boat and even a few police representatives.
• The amenities and facilities are not to be frowned upon, either. There is always a good front office, a 24/7 cafe, a full bar, live entertainment, salons, and spas.
• There are charging stations on board for passengers of all classes.
• 2Go ships including common areas and toilets are generally cleaner compared to other ferries around the archipelago.
• Overnight trips are a great way to save some bucks on accommodation and entertainment.
• 2Go can arrange onward transportation for passengers through their partner companies to make your travel even more convenient.
• Trips can be delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions, especially during the typhoon season. Be ready and be flexible. This is not the fault of the company, though. Yet in case of a delay no complimentary food and drinks are offered.
• The refund process if you require one can take as long as 2 months if you cancel your tickets paid for by a bank card for any reason.
• Air-conditioning is often freezing cold but overall the price and experience are hard to beat.

She is 195 meters in length, 26 meters in width, and impressively weighs 29,046 tons!

Cebu Pacific is aggressively pursuing expanded air traffic rights through bilateral negotiations to support its aggressive growth plans.

“We’ve made our wish list. Every year, we do that at the start of the year,” Cebu Pacific president and chief commercial officer Xander Lao said.

“South Korea was one of them. We’re fortunate, the Philippine government got that through,” Lao said.

The Philippines and South Korea signed a new agreement on July 4, 2024, expanding the 20,000 weekly seats each from Manila to points in Korea and vice versa, to 30,000 weekly seat capacity exclusively for the Manila-Incheon route.

South Korea used to be the largest tourism source of the country before the pandemic. Data from the Department of Tourism (DOT) showed that Korean visitors to the Philippines reached 682,362 as of May 2024.

Lao also said that the Philippines and Hong Kong agreed to increase flight entitlements that allows Cebu Pacific to add more frequencies into Hong Kong.

“Part of our wish list, by the way, was India because we did think that the bilateral air talks between India and the Philippines are still limited today. So, even though we can’t reach it today with our aircraft, it’s really planning for the future,” Lao said.

“The other one where we said that there is a need to increase bilateral is Australia. Currently, the flight entitlements are fully allocated to Australia amongst the Philippine carriers,” Lao said.

Cebu Pacific flies to Melbourne and Sydney.

Cebu Pacific operates a route network serving 62 domestic routes and 32 international routes with a total of 2,983 scheduled weekly flights as of June 30, 2024,

Cebu Pacific announced on July 2 that it signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Airbus for the purchase of up to 152 A321neo aircraft for $24 billion (P1.4 trillion) based on list prices, the largest aircraft order in Philippine aviation history.

The airline has a fleet of 87 aircraft as of June 30, 2024. The fleet excludes three ATR 72-500 aircraft classified as other assets as these are currently not operating and are held for sale. The average aircraft age of the airline’s fleet is about 5.5 years as of June 30, 2024.

Cebu Pacific posted a net income of P3.54 billion from January to June 2024, down from P3.74 billion in the same period last year.

Revenues amounted to P51.439 billion, up by 18.1 percent from P43.55 billion it earned in the same period last year.

2GO, the Philippines’ largest end-to-end logistics, transportation, and distribution solutions provider, together with Cebu Pacific Airlines, is proud to announce the commissioning of the X-ray machine at 2GO’s Gateway Hub.

This significant upgrade aims to optimize the movement of goods via air to and from Manila and various parts of the country, providing businesses with more flexibility in terms of cargo acceptance without compromising delivery deadlines.

The newly installed X-ray machine enables 2GO to extend the cut-off time for cargo acceptance, giving partners additional time to prepare their shipments while still adhering to stringent delivery schedules.

“At 2GO, we are continually seeking ways to innovate and improve our services,” said Faye Alonzo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Forwarding. “The introduction of this state-of-the-art X-ray machine is a testament to our dedication to achieving efficiency and customer satisfaction. We look forward to showcasing our increased flexibility to our partners.”

2GO’s commitment to serving its clients and partners has been recognized by its air cargo partner, Cebu Pacific Airlines, which named 2GO its Top Domestic Cargo Agent of 2023.

The X-ray technology significantly reduces processing times, allowing for immediate loading and transfer to Cebu Pacific aircraft especially highly sensitive pharmaceutical products, perishables, and temperature-controlled items. This enhancement not only ensures faster delivery but also improves security measures by thoroughly screening prohibited items, safeguarding the supply chain’s integrity.

“2GO Forwarding was one of our most significant logistics partners last year, and we aim tostrengthen this partnership by offering tools that enhance their operations and improve the qualityof cargo checks beforeflying with us. The reduced processing time and extended cut-off hoursperfectly align with our sharedcommitment to delivering timely and efficient services to ourcustomers,” said Bonita Busch, Group Director ofCargo Commercial.

“We are excited to further strengthen our partnership with Cebu Pacific,” said Will Howell, 2GO Group Chief Financial Officer. “This new equipment brings immense value to our operations and business, enabling us to leverage technology and extend our service capabilities. We anticipate continued growth and success as we work together to deliver exceptional logistics services to Filipinos.”

In addition to its enhanced air freight capabilities, 2GO offers robust Less than Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) shipside services, catering to diverse shipping needs with nationwide reach and reliable schedules. Furthermore, 2GO’s logistical power is complemented by an extensive fleet of trucks that enhance its capabilities on land, alongside its maritime services. These ongoing upgrades to its fleet and infrastructure reinforce 2GO’s position as the leading logistics provider in the Philippines, supporting the growing e-commerce sector that demands rapid and reliable delivery services.

A part of SM Investments Corporation, the country’s leading conglomerate, 2GO offers multimodal transportation, 2GO Group, Inc. enables the movement of goods and people throughout the Philippines. It is the largest point-to-point transportation and logistics provider in the country. At its core are five business units, namely 2GO Sea Solutions, 2GO Special Containers and Value-Added Services (SCVASI), 2GO Express, 2GO Forwarding and 2GO Logistics.

Cebu Pacific shelves plans to revive Manila-Beijing flights

C ebu Pacific is not too keen on expanding its operations to China as demand has remained tempered, thus postponing the relaunch of the Manila-Beijing route indefinitely.

Xander Lao, president and chief commercial officer of the Gokongwei-led airline, told reporters last week that they were not seeing a “quick recovery on China,” whose tourist arrivals have yet to revert to prepandemic levels.

The popular Asian destination, prior to the pandemic or in 2019, welcomed 97.7 million tourists. Last year, it only received 35.5 million despite the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

“Clearly, the demand to and from China, at least for us, has not been as robust compared to 2019,” Lao said.

As such, Lao said they were suspending “until further notice” the Manila-Beijing flights, which the airline had been planning to revive since last year.

This route was previously offered by Cebu Pacific but the operation was stopped during the pandemic when border restrictions were up.

The airline last year resumed flights to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xiamen.

Competitors Philippine Airlines and Air Asia Philippines have also reopened their China network following the easing of border restrictions.

But Lao said they were still hoping the Chinese market—one of the top sources of international tourist arrivals in the country prior to the pandemic—would recover eventually.

For now, Cebu Pacific is reallocating its resources to destinations where growth is projected.

“We are moving some of our routes from China to other places such as Chiang Mai and you’ll see a few more announcements hopefully in the next couple of weeks,” he said.

Last week, the low-cost airline announced the launch of Manila-Chiong Mai route—the only direct flight to the popular northern Thai city from the country. It will be offered thrice weekly starting Oct. 29.

It also recently launched flights from Manila to Don Mueang in Bangkok and routes from Cebu to Don Mueang, Osaka, Masbate and San Vicente.

Cebu Pacific saw its first-quarter net earnings more than double to P2.24 billion on the back of busier operations. Passenger revenues, in particular, improved by 25 percent to P18 billion as volume grew by 14 percent to 5.5 million passengers.

The airline services over 35 domestic and 24 international destinations.
