Bringing affordable access and stronger sea connectivity to one of the Philippines’ top island destinations
MANILA, Philippines — 2GO Travel, the Philippines’ largest premier sea travel provider, is set to make waves once again with the launch of its new Manila–Siargao route beginning November 10, 2025. This milestone marks a major step toward making one of the country’s most beloved islands more accessible and affordable for both travelers and traders.
The weekly voyage will depart from Manila every Monday at 6:30 PM, arriving in Siargao on Tuesday at 11:30 PM. The return trip will depart Siargao every Wednesday at 2:30 AM and arrive in Manila on Friday at 7:30 AM.
By opening this route, 2GO answers the public’s call for more affordable and reliable travel options to Siargao while also creating a vital logistics bridge that supports the island’s economy. The route enables the more cost-efficient movement of essential goods such as food, fuel, and construction materials, benefiting local communities and small businesses.
The MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier, one of 2GO’s largest and most modern vessels, will serve the route. It can accommodate over 1,700 passengers, along with containerized and loose cargo, reefer vans, and other temperature-controlled shipments—underscoring 2GO’s commitment to both passenger comfort and efficient cargo transport.
Designed for a complete sea travel experience, the vessel offers a 50KG luggage allowance per passenger, as well as a full suite of amenities including restaurants, a coffee shop, salon and spa, souvenir shop, karaoke rooms, an arcade, a medical clinic, and nightly live entertainment.
The voyage will also connect Siargao, Butuan, and Ozamis, expanding access across Northern Mindanao and opening new opportunities for tourism, trade, and regional mobility.
“With 2GO now sailing directly to Siargao, we’re not just expanding routes—we’re expanding possibilities,” said Francis Chua, 2GO Travel Business Unit Head. “This voyage is for every Filipino who has long wanted to experience Siargao without breaking the bank. At the same time, it ensures that local businesses can transport goods and supplies more efficiently. We’re making travel and trade more inclusive, one voyage at a time.”
Tickets are available through travel.2go.com.ph, the 2GO app, or at any 2GO Store nationwide.
With the launch of the Manila–Siargao route, 2GO Travel continues to bridge people, products, and progress across the Philippines, reaffirming its mission to make sea travel accessible, affordable, and essential to nation-building.
