Whenever I travel in and out of my home province
Polillo Island, Quezon, I travel by sea. So, SEA TRAVEL is something that is not new to me. But I have never been in a big ship and its on my bucket list to be in one.
Finally, I have experienced how fun it is to travel by sea from my recent recent trip to boracay with
2go Travel.
Besides, Caticlan (Boracay) 2go Travel destination includes Bacolod, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Cagayan De Oro, Zamoboanga and many other provinces in the Philippines. My destination is Caticlan (Boracay) onboard their ship called St. Ignatius of Loyola.
THE TICKET
My ticket cost only 1,739.98 for a roundtrip Super Value Class Accommodation to Caticlan (Boracay) from Batangas Port, that includes free meal onboard. I book my ticket thru their website,
travel.2go.com.ph. No Credit Card? Don't worry, because you can use your ATM Card to purchase ticket online.

ACCOMMODATION
Traveling by sea may be longer than by plane so, comfort is a top priority. You may choose among their various
ACCOMMODATIONS: Super Value, Mega Value, Tourist, Cabin and State.
I stayed in SUPER VALUE CLASS ACCOMMODATION. Its basically a bunk bed in a non-air conditioned part of the vessel, Bathroom are shared with other passengers. I am sleeping almost the entire trip to Caticlan (Boracay) so, I would say its comfortable enough :) just imagine how comfortable it would be if your staying in their cabin or state accommodation?

2go Travel really made sea travel enjoyable, comfortable and affordable. I would say its affodable luxury, "vacation mode" starts as soon as I step inside the ship.
