MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has more than 7,000 islands spread across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Each island presents different pleasures and comforts depending on where they are located, how developed they are, and what nature has to offer.
The country is home to world-renowned white-sand beaches. It is a vacationist’s haven for its city attractions, mountain ranges, forest covers, extreme adventures and culinary traditions.
These are coveted travel destinations for both domestic and foreign tourists, who make sure they get to see and experience first-hand what the hottest Philippine destinations have to offer.
So, trips are planned according to one’s days off work — road trips to destinations that are not too far and are accessible by land travel, and plane rides for destinations separated by sea from one’s point of origin. These are traditional ways of getting to and from places one wants to visit.
But there is another way of getting to places, and it offers a totally different perspective — cruising.
Travel takes a bit longer, but it is more economical, and it is a whole new experience worth spending time on as travelers enjoy the breeze and the view from the sea.
Klook’s new partnership with 2Go brings the opportunity for travelers to arrive at popular island destinations by taking a cruise for as low as P2,290. From generous baggage allowance and readily available onboard entertainment to cozy meals, comfortable chairs and shortened travel time, traveling by water provides all the benefits and twice the fun.
Currently, 2Go offers routes to Coron, Puerto Princesa, Cebu and Caticlan.
