✈️ What to Know Before You Go (Travel Tips!)

A 28-30 hour ferry ride is a mini-cruise! Here’s how to prepare for a smooth journey:

• Baggage Allowance: Enjoy a generous 50 kg free baggage allowance per passenger. This is a huge advantage over flying, especially if you're bringing a lot of surf gear!

• Check-in Procedure:

  • Arrive Early: It's highly recommended to be at the Manila North Harbor Pier 4 at least 3 to 4 hours before departure. This allows time for security checks, baggage drop-off, and paying the terminal fee.

  • Documents: Bring your Printed E-Ticket Itinerary Receipt and a Valid Government-Issued ID for each passenger.

• What to Bring On Board:

  • Entertainment: Books, downloaded movies/shows, card games, or a fully charged power bank.

  • Comfort: A light jacket or blanket (even air-conditioned areas can get chilly), neck pillow, and eye mask.

  • Snacks: While the ship has restaurants and a coffee shop, bringing your own snacks and drinks is a good idea.

• Onboard Amenities: The MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier is a modern vessel, often featuring:

  • Restaurants and a coffee shop.

  • A salon and spa.

  • Karaoke rooms and an arcade.

  • A medical clinic.

  • Nightly live entertainment.
