About this crossing

The most southerly port that Manila's ships reach in our listings is General Santos, on Sarangani Bay in South Cotabato. The one weekly sailing leaves Manila on Wednesday, spends Friday night at Davao and arrives here on Saturday afternoon, so three nights are spent aboard.

The ship then carries on to Zamboanga and Iloilo before heading north, and those onward legs appear as General Santos to Iloilo and the return to Manila. Anyone bound for Davao can leave the ship there instead (Manila to Davao City).
