Your Cruise-Like Voyage to Siargao: Direct Ferry Service Launched by 2GO Travel

Dreaming of Siargao's world-class waves but dreading the multiple flights and transfers? Your all-new, affordable sea travel option is here. 2GO Travel has officially launched a direct, weekly ferry route connecting Manila to Siargao Island (Dapa Port), transforming the long journey into a comfortable, cruise-like "sailcation."

Starting November 10, 2025, the flagship route offers travelers a convenient alternative that is both budget-friendly and accommodating for those with extra-heavy luggage.

The New Manila-Siargao Connection

The new service is designed to make the surf capital more accessible for both tourists and traders. The route is part of a larger, weekly circuit served by the modern MV 2GO Saint Francis Xavier.

Key Benefits of the Ferry:

• Affordability: Base fares for the Manila-Siargao trip start from approximately PHP 2,000 for the most budget-friendly accommodations (Super Mega Value Class).

• Luggage Allowance: Passengers enjoy a generous allowance of 50 kilograms per person, perfect for surfboards and diving gear.

Experience a Mini-Cruise on the MV St. Francis Xavier

Forget the old idea of a cramped ferry. The MV 2GO Saint Francis Xavier is equipped with amenities that make the journey feel like a short cruise. The experience begins with a warm Filipino welcome dance upon boarding.

Onboard Facilities include:

• Entertainment: Nightly live band performances, karaoke rooms, and an arcade.

• Relaxation: An onboard Salon and Spa.

• Dining: Full-service restaurants and a coffee shop.

• Health & Convenience: A medical clinic and souvenir shops.

Travelers can choose from multiple accommodation tiers to suit their budget and comfort level:

**Note: Prices are base fares and may change. Final ticket prices include various fees, surcharges, and potential discounts (e.g., for Senior Citizens and Students). Always check the 2GO website for the current all-in price and promotional offers.

Beyond Tourism: A Bridge for Trade

The new route is also a major boost for the local economy. The MV St. Francis Xavier is a Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo ship, which facilitates the cost-efficient movement of containerized cargo and essential goods like food, fuel, and construction materials directly to Siargao, benefiting local businesses and communities across Northern Mindanao, as the route also connects Butuan and Ozamis.
