2GO Travel, a core business unit of 2GO Group, Inc. and a subsidiary of SM Investments Corporation, has announced the launch of a new, direct shipping route connecting Batangas and Cebu.
Set to begin operations this July, the weekly service provides a seamless sea link for both passengers and cargo from Southern Luzon, effectively eliminating the need to transit through congested Manila ports.
The direct connection is slated to significantly improve travel and logistics efficiency between Southern Luzon and Central Visayas by cutting down total transit time and streamlining supply chains.
The new route will be served by the MV 2GO Masikap, a modern passenger vessel designed to offer a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. Passengers can look forward to a variety of onboard accommodations and premium amenities, including:
-
Multiple dining areas and a dedicated coffee shop
-
An onboard salon and spa for relaxation
-
Souvenir shops and entertainment rooms
-
A fully equipped onboard medical clinic
-
A generous 50-kilogram baggage allowance per passenger
The overnight service will operate on a fixed weekly schedule, offering a convenient timeline for both leisure travelers and logistics operators:
| Route | Departure Day & Time | Arrival Day & Time |
| Batangas to Cebu | Every Tuesday at 6:30 PM | Every Wednesday at 1:00 PM |
Departures will originate from the Batangas International Port, with arrivals terminating at the Cebu Port.
This new strategic route underscores 2GO’s commitment to providing reliable, efficient, and comfortable transport solutions that support local tourism and trade. Freight forwarders, cargo shippers, and passengers looking to book their voyages can find more information or secure their tickets online through the official 2GO Travel website, via accredited agents, or by visiting 2GO retail outlets nationwide.
