About this crossing
2GO's weekly ship from Dapa reaches Manila only after a long detour west. MV Saint Francis Xavier arrives direct from Manila late on Tuesday and leaves at 02:30 on Wednesday for two calls on Mindanao's north coast, Nasipit from 09:00 to 14:00 and Ozamiz from 21:30 until 01:30 on Thursday, before docking in Manila on Friday morning. The southbound trip is therefore a full day shorter. With a departure in the small hours, the night to plan around is Tuesday's. Fares are per bunk and include meals and linen, but fuel surcharge, fees, VAT and the terminal fee are added at booking. Passengers for Nasipit and Ozamiz travel on the same sailing.
