mandwcruise Posted October 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I know some cruises visit PH. What I'm asking as if any cruise lines depart from PH? Or do the cruise lines believe the people there can't afford them anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather that there is insufficient demand to originate cruises there. According to cruisetimetables.com., there are only 4 cruises scheduled to depart from Manila in '23.

sanger727 Posted October 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2022 My favorite cruise search site allows you to search for departure ports. They don’t list Manila as a departure port. So I would venture to say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking places like Bohol, Palawan and Boracay. Though, I expect most of those places lack the infrastructure for cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silversea has two departures from Manila in February 2023, one each on Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit. They're listed on cruisetimetables.com, along with two other cruises. I verified on the Silversea website that the two February cruises from Manila do indeed exist and are available for purchase. I didn't bother to verify the other two cruises.

I would absolutely love to do a cruise around the Philippines. There are so many absolutely beautiful spots that are better than the spots people cruise to today. I believe there could be a strong "demand" but the business isn't viable. It's a far flight from a lot of places. They also don't have the infrastructure to handle cruise ships. I remain hopeful that one day, when we figure out supersonic flight, it will open up more places for more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
