About this crossing

The 16:00 from Iligan is one evening voyage west across Iligan Bay and then north: Cokaliong's own schedule has the ship call at Ozamiz from 18:00 to 20:00 before the overnight run to Cebu, which accounts for the 13 and a half hours. The two parts are also sold on their own, as Iligan to Ozamiz and Ozamiz to Cebu.

Iligan passengers pay exactly what those boarding at Ozamiz pay, class for class, despite the longer time aboard. Four Cokaliong ships take turns on the run, and several classes in the fare table exist on only one of them. The return from Cebu takes longer still.
