The Philippines’ largest premier sea travel provider, 2GO Travel, is offering its lowest fares through a P22 Crazy Sale to major local destinations, such as Manila, Cagayan De Oro, and many more, its officials announced Wednesday, July 6.

Salud said 2GO Travel is revolutionizing sea travel through “sailcations”, wherein “your vacation begins the minute you go onboard”
MV 2GO Masagana and MV 2GO Maligaya, offer spacious and clean accommodations, hot and fresh meals, special event packages, and a variety of food and drink selections onboard, giving passengers a safe, affordable, and fun travel experience,” Blessie Cruz, 2GO’s Group Head for Marketing, said.

The MV 2GO Maligaya and MV 2GO Masagana also serve as unique and enjoyable MICE venues with facilities that can accommodate corporate gatherings with exclusive use of the meeting rooms with audio and video set-up and live entertainment during evening functions, Salud said.*
