About this crossing

Iligan comes second on this sailing. The ship stops at Ozamiz before dawn and then crosses Iligan Bay, which is why the timetable runs to fourteen and a half hours and the arrival in Lanao del Norte is not until 09:30.

Tickets cost exactly the same as for Ozamiz, so the extra hours on board come free. Homeward, the loop runs in reverse: the ship leaves Iligan in the afternoon, calls at Ozamiz in the evening and reaches Cebu early the next morning (Iligan to Cebu). Travellers whose real destination is Cagayan de Oro, 53 km east, have direct ships of their own (Cebu to Cagayan de Oro).
