About the Manila – Dipolog crossing
Forty-nine and a half hours, leaving at 21:30, every day of the week. Two nights and a full day from Manila down to Dipolog on the northern coast of Zamboanga Peninsula.
The same hour as the other long runs
2GO’s southbound sailings leave Manila at half past nine at night as a rule — Zamboanga at 2,910 minutes, Dumaguete at 3,300. Dipolog sits between them at 2,970.
What two nights aboard is for
A flight covers the same ground in about ninety minutes. The ship carries vehicles, freight and passengers for whom the fare and a berth beat an airfare and a night’s lodging at either end.
No end date on the listing
The plan has held since 1 January 2026. Philippine operators revise by notice rather than by season, so an open-ended entry here is the norm rather than a stale one.
