Cruises to the Philippines: A guide to choosing the right one

A cruise to the Philippines feels like sailing through a vast archipelago where every port of call brings a change of pace: Manila and its historic districts, Palawan and its limestone lagoons, Cebu and Bohol with their heritage, beaches and hills, or Boracay for a more laid-back beach break.

The journey combines city life, islands, snorkeling, white-sand beaches, markets, colonial churches, coastal villages and tropical scenery. Depending on the itinerary, the experience may focus on culture, time at sea, family activities, or underwater wonders and boat excursions.

What our customers loved:

Philippines cruise must-sees

Navigate Coron's lagoons

Coron is often remembered as one of the most impressive ports of call in the Philippines. Travelers love the limestone cliffs, clear waters, snorkeling stops and the feeling of moving from one lagoon to the next through spectacular scenery.

Explore Intramuros to understand Manila

Intramuros gives historical depth to a stopover sometimes perceived as very dense. Travelers love the ramparts, churches, old houses and the way the neighborhood tells the Spanish period in the heart of the capital.

Link Cebu and Bohol between heritage and tropical landscapes

The Visayas appeal to travelers because they offer varied experiences while retaining the character of the archipelago. With Cebu's historic landmarks, Bohol's Chocolate Hills, tarsiers and Panglao's beaches, the port of call can feel exceptionally complete.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Stop at the Puerto Princesa market before a sea trip

In Palawan, Puerto Princesa is about more than island excursions. Travelers enjoy its markets, fruit, fish, small local spots and port-city atmosphere, which provide an everyday counterpoint to the lagoon scenery.

Find a quieter beach at Puka Beach on Boracay

When White Beach becomes too lively, Puka Beach offers a welcome change of pace. Travelers like its more natural sand, less developed atmosphere and the chance to discover another side of Boracay without leaving the island.

Taste street food around Cebu after historical visits

In Cebu, travelers often remember the simpler moments that follow visits to the classic sights. Stopping for skewers, rice, fruit or a small local eatery lets you experience the city beyond its monuments.

A rich, well-preserved heritage


Founded in 1571 by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, Manila is the capital of the Philippines. The city boasts colonial architecture, as well as the interesting fortified Intramuros district. Discover the National Museum, Rizal Park and San Augustin Church, also dating from 1571. The temples in Santa Cruz's Chinatown district are also well worth a visit.

In Manila Bay, off the coast of the city, Corregidor Island is accessible by boat. An important historical site, it was one of the few bulwarks against the Japanese invasion during the Second World War. You can still discover a lighthouse dating back to 1853, as well as beautiful beaches. Forty minutes from Manila, the town of Vigan awaits you. Built in the 16th century, this former European trading post is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It boasts several history museums, including Crisologo, which traces the history of the Spanish and Portuguese on the island. Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Banaue rice paddies are located in the central Cordillera on the island of Luzon. Between 2,000 and 6,000 years old, they are ideal for trekking through the mountains to discover the Ifugao tribes.

In the Mindanao region, there are several typical villages to discover, such as Davao. You can also climb Mount Apo to discover the Manoba ethnic groups. Not far away, towards Lake Sebu, Zamboanga still has a strong Spanish heritage. There are also some interesting Muslim villages built on stilts. But the Philippines also boasts beaches and a dream natural heritage. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, allows you to appreciate a series of caves via an underground river in the heart of a lush forest. On the UNESCO-listed Tubbataha reefs, diving enthusiasts can take to the water in one of the world's best diving spots.

Discover a tropical climate


The Philippines traditionally enjoys three main seasons: the hot season between March and May, the rainy season between June and November, and the cold season between December and February. It's worth noting that between May and December, the monsoon season often brings violent and destructive typhoons. However, the interior and west of the country are generally sheltered from these violent winds by the Philippine mountain range, which runs north-south along the country's eastern coast. As for temperatures, the coolest are frequent in January, and the hottest in May. In general, temperatures average around 25°C all year round.
