About the Cebu – Surigao crossing
19:00 every day, timetabled at 600 minutes, from ₱1,320. Cokaliong runs the crossing south-east from Cebu to Surigao on the northern tip of Mindanao, landing in the early morning.
The same departure seven days a week
No reduced weekend version, no seasonal variant, no alternative hour. One sailing, 365 chances a year, all at the same minute.
What ten hours buys
A flight covers the same ground in about 60 minutes. The ₱1,320 floor fare is the reason the ship still sails — along with the vehicles and cargo an aircraft cannot take.
Overnight by design
Leaving at seven and arriving at dawn converts the passage into a night rather than a day. On a route of this length that is the whole proposition: the ten hours cost time that would have been spent asleep.
