How to get from Manila to Cebu (Flight / Ferry)

The Manila – Cebu route is the most popular one in all of the Philippines. There are thousands of people traveling between these two cities every day, and that doesn’t only mean there are plenty of departure times you can choose from, but also very fair prices since the different companies compete for all the customers.

The most important thing right away:

There are 2 ways to get from Manila to Cebu (or vice versa) – by flight or by ferry.

I already have done both of them, and in this quick guide I will give you an overview of both travel options, information on the prices and duration, links to the companies, tips on what to look out for, my own pictures and a video, as well as an overview map.

Manila to Cebu by Flight

Cebu Pacific Air is the most popular choice among most travelers. It’s the low cost carrier of the Philippines that almost always has the cheapest rates – I just checked the price for a one way ticket for next Wednesday, it’s just 1,530 Pesos including all taxes and fees. They currently have 11 (!) daily departures on this most popular route of the country.

The flight time from Manila to Cebu is 1 hour and 15 minutes .

Another popular choice is Air Asia , which is also a low cost carrier with similar rates (though I found them to be a couple of hundred Pesos more expensive in 90% of the cases, so I’ve never flown with them so far in the Philippines).

And the third main carrier on the Manila to Cebu route is Philippine Airlines – the national airline of the Philippines. Unlike with the low cost carriers, you will get free drinks and food on board as well as more legroom, but the tickets are more expensive: It’s 2,375 Pesos for the cheapest departure time next Wednesday.

Note: Take your taxi to the airport about 3 hours before your departure time – no matter whether in Manila or Cebu, because the traffic can be horrible.

And if you should still arrive at the airport quite early, you will probably have something nice to look at.

As always with flights here in the Philippines, the views out of the window over all these small and big islands are spectacular.

Here is Cebu from above, just 5 minutes before landing:

Ready for landing at Mactan-Cebu International Airport:

How to get from Cebu Airport to Downtown?

The airport in Cebu is located on a small island called Mactan, which is connected with a bridge to mainland Cebu. It’s about 14.5km from the airport to Mango Square in downtown Cebu.

I have decided to write a separate post on this topic:

See also: From Cebu Airport to City Center (Bus / Taxi)

Manila to Cebu by Ferry

Only few people decide to take the ferry from Manila to Cebu, and that’s the main reason for it:

The travel time from Manila to Cebu by ferry is 22 hours .

Yes, that’s right: It’s an overnight ferry, means you will have to sleep on the boat.

I can tell you that it can still be worth it and quite an experience, but only if you don’t plan other ferry trips in the Philippines, like from Cebu to Bohol or from Caticlan to Boracay .

You can check the departure times of the ferries and prebook your ticket (even though that’s not really necessary, except on national holidays when many boats are fully booked) on the website 2 Go Travel . Note how they call their vessels like “St Pope John Paul II” or “St Leo the Great”.

The price for a one way ferry ticket from Manila to Cebu City is about 1,000 Pesos for Tourist Class , 1,500 Pesos for Cabin for 4 and 3,800 Pesos for a Suiteroom for 2 .

Note: There are only 1-2 daily departures – check them on the website.

This is how the berths in the Tourist Class look like:

One of the great things about taking the ferry in the Philippines, apart from getting a feel for how many islands there really are, are the nice surprises when you suddenly spot a whale or a dolphin:

And it’s amazing how crystal clear and clean the water is:

Sunset from the boat:

The ferries leave from Pier 4 in Manila and arrive at Pier 1 in Cebu City the following day. And if you want to travel from Cebu back to Manila, it’s the same locations, prices and schedules.

I have marked all locations on the map below:

What was it like to sail with 2GO? How was the experience?

OK, first of all, full disclosure, our trip was arranged for us by 2GO Travel itself, but I’ll still be as objective as I can.

Personally, I’ve never experienced traveling on a ship prior this ship. A few people I know have never tried or even considered traveling this way because they were afraid of the thought of being in the open sea and feeling huge waves while on board. I myself isn’t scared of waves and I don’t get sea sick easily. But if you’re one of those people, I don’t think you should worry much about it. I didn’t really feel the vessel move for the most part. It felt like I was in a hotel on land.

What I was concerned about was the long travel time and the possibility of being bored with nothing to do on the ship. The journey from Manila to Cebu took us almost 24 hours, but surprisingly and thankfully, I didn’t get bored at any point. Activities and amenities on board would keep you occupied for much of the journey and it could make you feel like it’s already a part of your vacation.

Top 3 airlines serving from manila to cebu city.

So far pal express is much better than Cebu pacific in terms of customers service and in flight crew. And on time departure and arrival . Especially if you're taking airbus 320 plane . But the small aircraft like bombardier . It usually delayed .

We did booked shorter layovers but flights changed and layovers are too long good thing Philippine Airlines give us a hotel in manila but here Vancouver to Calgary too long layovers and there is enough sets to wait closer to air canada and they will open 4am.we were here 1 am .our flights schedule for air canada 8:10am.we paid expensive flights but not happy of lay over Vancouver to Calgary.

Biz class is way below what other airlines offer. The food was mediocre at best. A WiFi was intermittent and movies were dated. Honestly the best part of the trip was that the Mabuhay lounge in SFO was closed and they gave us pass to Air France lounge. My advise, fill up there before boarding plane.

Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.

No power on an 11 hour flight? What a joke. Crew did not come by enough to get trash or offer water.

Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow

There is a problem with the sound while watching movie or listening to the music ( the sound is static & goes on and off). Aside from the sound, the experience was good & stewardesses are nice.

Not leave 12 hours late. This airline is horrible always late does not refund upgrades for cancelled flights inept counter staff.. needs to be shutdown

The food was good but could be better. Also, less salt would be nice.

My biggest concern was with all the schedule changes. Both inbound and outbound flights times were changed, including a time change less than two days before the scheduled departure.

better handling of the checked in luggage. they destroyed mine

Should’ve not separated those who checked-in online and those who checked-in at the airport

the process of paying for the excess baggage weight, the check in process and the boarding process are subhuman. this is an airline devoid of customer service

Cebu Pac has a habit of changing boarding gates. They do a lot of remote boarding. So just be attentive to the announcements, especially if it's near your boarding time.

It was a low cost flight, so no high expectations. The experience was average.

Crew was very helpful because I used a wheelchair to get around

Flight was delayed for almost 30 minutea, I had difficulties to catch up the connecting flight. Bit due to tje well organized Singapore airport I was able to make it

The flight was delayed for 3 hours and I missed my transit flight.

Was denied early boarding for a hot seat row 1C. I asked gate attendant why I couldn’t I board as I paid extra for that seat and it’s privileges that come from purchasing it. and she said no that Cebu Pacific does not allow it. When I boarded plane finally I had nowhere to put my bag as the seats behind me had taken my overhead area. The flight attendant said that the gate attendant was wrong. I fly a lot in the philippines and to Japan and now I have no choice but to fly with Air Asia. At least they board with zones and allow rows 1-3 to board early.

I was rebook by the other airpott because of the delayed flight

The flight was delayed by an hour . Traveling with 75 year old father was difficult and then when he asked for water he was asked to purchase :-) . Overall just an ok experience.

Overall service is good, the only thing I would like airasia to improve is there seating. Their seat handles are broken as well as the back rest

Boarding with air asia is excellent via organized lines by zone except when there is only 1 gate agent and no scanner, only by tearing tickets??? Crazy

The flight was supposed to depart at 9:25. It departed at 9:00. Im glad we were early and did not miss it.

They wouldn't even allow us to bring water from the fountain on board the aircraft.

Premium seats should have legroom this one didn't have it. I had 2 free checked bag but I got charged for while it shows on my reservation

Terrible airline! This airline just ruined our family vacation due to a 12 hours delay as a result of their operational issues.

Too many flight delays. Airport terminal serving Boracay needs upgrades.

Over 6 hours delayed.. using philippine air fleet planes are beat up dirty and uncomfortable. Have been flying air asia for over 4 years from Manila to Tokyo and kansai as well as several local flights from Manila to Bacolod and Cebu.. 3 planes were down for maintenance and caused havoc.. need to invest in new fleet or seriously clean and upgrade the existing fleet. Will not be flying anymore until fixed. Several options out there now to choose from as air asia prices have skyrocketed.. no point in using them anymore . Severally upset passenger here. They can’t even manage the queuing of Zones for boarding as it’s a crab fest free for all now. No discipline and let the passengers in line to board just run into any lane possible.. and priority luggage?? Forget it I’ve paid for it for the last 6 flights and never got it first.. air asia has turned into a expensive joke.. use Cebu pacific or zip air now..

We had three flight delays before eventually taking off 3 hours late. Inflight service was very limited, but it was a relatively short flight. Luggage was delivered promptly.

Mga tol, I am planning to bring my car to Cebu next year. Can you please help me the directions to get there. How long does the travel takes. What are the stop overs of the trip. Thanks a lot.

If your coming from manila, take the slex and drive up to matnog, sorsogon.Travel time 12 to 13 hours depende sa speed mo. Kung isasabay mo sightseeing daan ka sa cam.sur wake boarding facility and sa cagsawa ruins sa albay..Then Ro-Ro to allen, samar. Drive ka na ulit along western samar. Tatawid ng san juanico bridge to leyte. Marami ports ang leyte na may RoRo papunta cebu. Meron sa Ormoc, Isabel and Hindang and others na di ko alam. Pinakamalapit sa cebu is isabel leyte. Mga 2 1/2 hours from tacloban. May Roro dun papunta sa danao cebu. aprox. 4 hours ang pagtawid. Taga Albay ako but i'm working in Cebu. Uwi this xmas dalhin ko din car ko. Update kita kung magkano na bayad sa pagtawid and how is the road condition in samar. Leyte is good but not quite. Ang from manila to sorsogon no problem.

Tama si BicolExpress. I took that route last year. Two days lang nasa Cebu kana. Tip ko lang is to leave Allen early (3am), if you're gonna stay for the night, for Isabel Leyte. 11:30AM o 12:30 PM ang alis ng roro for Danao. Muntik na kaming maiwan ng ferry kasi 4:30 na kami nakaalis ng Allen, plus you have to take into consideration the road condition in Samar.

How about the Batangas - Mindoro - Panay - Negros - Cebu route? :car: [SIZE="1"]3903[/SIZE]

An alternate but rather circuitrous route is via Batangas-Mindoro-Panay-Negros-Cebu route. You will be able to pass by Puerto Galera, Caticlan (or Boracay), Capiz, Ilolilo City, Bacolod City, Dumaguete City, then southern tip of Cebu province. It's really more of a "pasyal trip". Nice if you bring along your family or you're in a group. If you are alone and would opt for a leisurely ride (di ka mapapagod)... take a Superferry to Cebu with the car as rolling cargo. Next day naduon ka na.

Thanks for all the info. I'd rather take the Batangas-Mindoro-Panay-Negros-Cebu route. I will bring my family with me, so the trip is more on sight seeing. Is there any precautions that I need to know? Hindi ba delikado ang way sa mga Niece People Around. What are the timings of the RORO from Batangas to Mindoro, Mindoro to Panay? Any suggestions of the good hotels and restaurants on the way to the trip? Where can I get a detailed map that indicates all the route. How many copies of OR and CR do I need? Pasensya na sa lahat nang hassle, I need to plan this ahead so that I know all the things that I gonna do for this trip.

PGMA opens Central Nautical Highway as Ro-Ro caravan “sails on” Monday SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 2008 | INFRASTRUCTURE The third component of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) -- the Central Nautical Highway, -- is about to “sail on” on Monday from Bulan, Sorsogon in Luzon all the way to Misamis Oriental in Mindanao. The Central Nautical Highway Roll-on-Roll-off is the central trunk route connecting the province of Sorsogon to Balingoan in Misamis Oriental, passing through Central Visayas and connecting to the east-west trunk routes of Cawayan in Masbate, Bogo Port in central Cebu, Tubigon Port in Bohol, then to Jagna Port also in Bohol, and to the Mambajao Port in Camiguin. The President will send off on Monday the RO-RO caravan that will test the viability of the nautical highway at the Bulan Port and Cawayan Port. At some points of the voyage, she shall be joining the caravan. The RO-RO caravan’s “sail on” from bustling Jagna Port in Bohol on the way to Mambajao Port in scenic Camiguin will have the President on board as she will be presiding over Tuesday’s National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Cabinet Group meeting as the caravan sails on to the Bohol Sea. The caravan ends Wednesday (April 30) in Cagayan de Oro City with the holding of the Central Philippines SRNH Conference. The SNRH -- an integrated set of highway segments and ferry routes, combined with road and ferry routes not formally part of SRNH -- is touted as one of the President’s legacy projects as it stands to spur economic development in the countryside. It links the island provinces through an efficient transport system that would enhance access to tourists areas throughout the country; and offers an alternate route for the flow of agricultural products at a lesser cost. The President has said that” …the nautical highway brings development closer to the provinces… that will connect the market of Luzon to the production centers, the agricultural production centers of Mindanao.” Travelling by Ro-Ro reduces the cost of travel by 37 to 43 percent for passengers, and 24 to 34 percent for cargo when compared to both sea and air travel. It also reduces travel time by 10 to 12 hours when compared to ordinary sea travel. Called the “highway of the sea,” the Ro-Ro system ferries trucks carrying goods and produce from Mindanao to Luzon and vice versa, directly to their destinations, without unloading in every port. The SRNH -- a 919-kilometer (land) and 137 nautical mile (sea) transportation infrastructure -- includes the Western Nautical Highway or the western seaboard trunk route that links Manila and Dipolog City in Mindanao, and the Eastern Nautical Highway or the eastern sea link that connects Biliran in Leyte to Surigao City. And, of the course, the Central Nautical Highway that would be opened Monday (April 28). Transportation Undersecretary Len Bautista stressed that the sea route, once it goes on its maiden sail Monday, must be operational from thereon. The Montenegro Lines and Negros Navigation would be plying the central seaboard trunk. http://www.gov.ph/news/default.asp?i=20750 here's the link of montenegro lines. nandito narin ang fares .. http://montenegrolines.com.ph/msli_web/ dont take he samar route. jeez unless your an off roader.

(get the updated one) also bring bring extra copies of maps. copies ng OR/CR kailangan sa bawat roro. better to bring many copies para sigurado. around 15 copies each pwede na. and also bring some foods and lastly Bring a firearm. just when you need it. and also dont stop on the road whenever your being hit by a stone etc ...

What are the stop overs of the trip. Thanks a lot. hi mga tol.. pls teach me the best route from manila to cebu, i have the same plan as mgic has.. thanks po..

macjep69, First you need to have map of Southern Luzon, Samar and Leyte.Make sure that it is current, you can buy this in National bookstore. From Manila you're direction is Matnog, Sorsogon(So you will pass Laguna, Quezon Province and Bicol Region).
