About the Ormoc – Cebu crossing
The port of Ormoc on the island of Leyte is separated from Cebu City on Cebu Island by approximately 55 nautical miles of the Camotes Sea. Three ferry operators—Lite Ferries, OceanJet, and SuperCat Fast Ferry Corporation—provide a total of nine daily sailings on this domestic route within the Philippines. The crossing time varies significantly between operators, with the fastest services completing the journey in 3 hours and the slowest taking up to 7 hours.
Ormoc to Cebu Ferry Timetable
Services run every day of the week, connecting two of the Visayas region's key commercial centers. The first sailing of the day departs Ormoc at 05:30, with subsequent departures spread throughout the day until the final crossing at 22:00. This schedule facilitates both day-return business travel and onward connections for passengers moving goods and linking with transport hubs in Cebu. Passenger fares start from ₱600, although pricing changes based on the season, vessel, and any vehicles being transported.
This route is a central part of Leyte's maritime transport network. From Ormoc, passengers can also connect to smaller local ferries serving multiple destinations across the Camotes Islands. Cebu's port, one of the busiest in the Philippines, offers a far larger network of onward long-distance ferry connections to cities across Mindanao and the Visayas, including Cagayan de Oro, Dapitan, and Dumaguete.
