About the Manila – Iloilo crossing
Four sailings, from 12:30 to 21:30, on a passage timetabled at 1,800 minutes. That is thirty hours between Manila and Iloilo, and the fact that 2GO runs four of them daily says more about Philippine inter-island demand than any passenger figure could.
All four run every day
There is no reduced weekend pattern and no seasonal variant. On a route where each sailing occupies a ship for more than a day in each direction, a daily four-departure timetable represents a substantial fleet commitment.
What the fare tells you
Tickets start around ₱1,419 — low for thirty hours of travel, and low enough that the ship competes with the plane on cost rather than time. Deck accommodation is what makes that possible.
Afternoon and evening departures
Sailings clustered between half past twelve and half past nine put the bulk of the journey overnight and land passengers the following evening or the morning after. On a route this long the departure hour shapes which nights are spent aboard.
