Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corporation (FastCat), the country’s leading ferry operator, and Pop-Up Campers PH, the premier provider of versatile mobile lifestyle solutions, officially announced their strategic partnership following a successful kick-off meeting held on January 12, 2026.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the local tourism industry, aiming to bridge the gap between island-hopping and overland exploration. By combining FastCat’s state-of-the-art Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) fleet with the mobility of Pop-Up Campers PH, travelers can now experience the ultimate “home on wheels” adventure across the Philippine archipelago with unprecedented ease.
As more Filipinos seek “off-the-beaten-path” destinations and sustainable travel options, the partnership focuses on providing a seamless transit experience. Travelers equipped with pop-up campers can now enjoy:
-
Priority Boarding & Support: Streamlined processes for camper-vehicle combinations across FastCat’s extensive route network.
-
Access to Hidden Gems: Unlocking remote coastal spots and mountain provinces that were previously difficult to reach with traditional accommodation.
-
Safety and Reliability: Utilizing FastCat’s modern, twin-hulled vessels to ensure campers and their vehicles reach their destination safely and comfortably. “Our mission has always been to connect the Philippine islands through safe and fast sea travel,” said a spokesperson for FastCat. “Partnering with Pop-Up Campers PH allows us to extend that connection to the shore, empowering adventurers to carry their comfort with them as they explore the hidden beauty of our provinces.”
Pop-Up Campers PH brings a unique lifestyle element to the partnership, offering compact, high-quality campers that turn any standard vehicle into a mobile suite. This partnership ensures that the “overlanding” community has a reliable maritime partner to help them cross sea lanes without the stress of traditional logistics.
“We are thrilled to kick off 2026 with a partner that shares our passion for exploration,” added the representative from Pop-Up Campers PH. “Together with FastCat, we are making the dream of an island-to-island road trip a reality for every Filipino family and solo traveler.”
Detailed travel packages, curated camper-friendly routes, and exclusive boarding discounts for Pop-Up Camper owners are expected to be rolled out in the coming months.
