About this crossing

Only two of 2GO's five weekly sailings run straight to Manila: MV 2GO Masagana's Tuesday 11:59 and Friday 23:59, each on its way back from Cagayan de Oro, arrive the next day at 10:00 and 22:00. The other three are legs of longer voyages. The Wednesday 11:00, on MV 2GO Masikap, calls at Batangas early on Thursday and reaches Manila at 17:00 that day, while the Saturday 19:00 on MV 2GO Masigla calls at Tagbilaran overnight and docks in Manila at 05:00 on Monday.

Slowest of all is the Tuesday 23:00, also on MV 2GO Masigla, which crosses to Puerto Princesa on Palawan, lies there overnight and arrives in Manila at 02:00 on Friday. Passengers for Batangas itself have a separate page for the Wednesday ship (Cebu to Batangas).
