How To Get there

There are two ways to go to Cebu. The first, and the easiest, is by direct flight. At present international airlines offer direct flights to Cebu from abroad:

Via Singapore. Singapore Airlines offers direct flights per week to and from Cebu.

Via Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific offers flights per week to and from Cebu.

Also, Philippine Airlines offers direct flights Cebu-HongKong-Cebu. The flights are every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with an Airbus.

Via Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia Airlines offers flights to Kuala Lumpur, via Kota Kinabalu.

Via Narita, Japan. Philippine Airlines flies direct to Cebu-Narita and back. The flights are carried out with an Airbus.

Via Middle East. Gulf Air flies from Cebu to the Gulf. Flights are carried out with an Airbus 340 and offer excellent connections to Europe, Africa and America.

Philippine Airlines also offers daily its ‘Cebu Express’ program, linking Cebu directly with 14 international destinations.

The alternative of a direct flight is to fly to Manila and take a domestic flight to Cebu, or take a boat. There are airlines which fly Manila-Cebu and back. Philippine Airlines flies on average seven times a day from Manila to Cebu.

The boat trip takes about 20 hours, but sailing on a luxury liner through the Philippine archipelago is an adventure in itself. But the major shipping lines have changed their perception of inter-island shipping.

Sailing on time, clean, organized and equipped with restaurants and entertainment, the ship made the passenger easily forget the 20 hours. Today, there are Superferries. Superferry 2 and 5 sail between Cebu and Manila, the others have different routes.All ships offer a wide range of accommodations. There are special two person suites and staterooms but also there are much cheaper first and economy class cabins. Food is often included in the ticket, all ships have restaurants, coffeeshops and/or bars and discos.
