About the Cebu – Palompon crossing
Cokaliong Shipping Lines Inc. and OceanJet operate a combined two sailings every day between the port of Cebu and the port of Palompon. The crossing takes approximately six hours. Fares for a foot passenger start from ₱552.
Onward Connections
The port of Cebu is a major hub for inter-island travel in the Philippines. Frequent ferry services depart from Cebu for Cagayan de Oro, Calbayog, Dapitan, and Dumaguete. Less frequent long-distance routes connect to General Santos. A high-speed ferry also links Cebu with Getafe on the island of Bohol.
From Palompon, the corresponding return service to Cebu is the primary scheduled ferry connection. The first departure of the day is at 10:00, with the final sailing at 19:00. These services are available seven days a week.
