About the Manila – Dumaguete crossing
The timetable says 3,300 minutes — 55 hours. Two full nights and the better part of three days from Manila down to Dumaguete on Negros Oriental.
Every day, at the same hour
2GO Travel sails at 21:30 seven days a week. The listing has held since 1 January 2026 with no end date, no weekend variant and no seasonal edition.
What a two-night passage is for
A flight from Manila reaches Dumaguete in roughly 90 minutes. The ship carries what the aircraft will not: vehicles, freight, and passengers travelling in numbers where the fare matters more than the calendar. For scale, the same operator’s Manila–Davao run is listed at 3,660 minutes.
Departing at half past nine at night
The late hour puts the first night at sea immediately. On a passage of this length the schedule is built around berths rather than seats.

- Seater to private Suite classes
- Onboard dining, shops & Wi-Fi
