About this crossing
A 02:30 arrival is the catch on this 2GO sailing. The ship leaves Batangas in mid-morning and spends seventeen hours working south to Iloilo City, on the south-east coast of Panay, landing in the middle of the night, so plan where to wait or sleep before booking. It does not come back this way: after Iloilo it calls at Bacolod and returns to Manila, so the way north is Iloilo to Manila. For Panay by an overnight ship with a morning arrival, the Batangas to Caticlan service reaches the island's north-west corner instead. Iloilo's own port connects onward to Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Bacolod, as the Iloilo port page shows.
