Bringing affordable access and stronger sea connectivity to one of the Philippines’ top island destinations
2GO Travel, the Philippines’ leading sea travel provider, is once again setting sail toward progress with the launch of its new Manila–Siargao route, officially beginning November 10, 2025. This milestone marks a major step in making the country’s surfing capital—and one of its most iconic islands—more accessible, affordable, and connected for both tourists and traders.
The weekly voyage will depart from Manila every Monday at 6:30 PM, arriving in Siargao by Tuesday at 11:30 PM. The return trip will leave Siargao every Wednesday at 2:30 AM and reach Manila by Friday at 7:30 AM.
Beyond tourism, the new route serves as a vital logistics link for Siargao, supporting the local economy through the more efficient transport of essential goods like food, fuel, and construction materials—empowering small businesses and communities alike.
Serving the new route is the MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier, one of 2GO’s largest and most modern vessels. With a capacity of over 1,700 passengers, plus space for containerized and loose cargo, reefer vans, and temperature-controlled shipments, the ship embodies 2GO’s dual commitment to passenger comfort and cargo efficiency.
Designed to offer a complete sea travel experience, the MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier provides every passenger with a 50KG luggage allowance and access to a full suite of amenities, including:
- Restaurants and a coffee shop
- A salon and spa
- Souvenir shops
- Karaoke rooms and an arcade
- A medical clinic
- Nightly live entertainment
The voyage will also connect Siargao, Butuan, and Ozamis, enhancing mobility across Northern Mindanao and creating new opportunities for tourism, trade, and regional development.
“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 dreamed of visiting Siargao without breaking the bank. At the same time, it ensures that local enterprises can move goods and supplies more efficiently. We’re making travel and trade more inclusive—one voyage at a time.”
Tickets are now available via travel.2go.com.ph, the 2GO App, or any 2GO Store nationwide.
With the launch of the Manila–Siargao route, 2GO Travel continues to bridge people, products, and progress across the Philippines—strengthening its mission to make sea travel accessible, affordable, and essential to nation-building.
