HomeAsiaPhilippinesLuzonPalawanIloilo to Puerto Princesa, Palawan RORO Ferry (via Cuyo) By Marcos Detourist on July 13, 2011One means of traveling to Puerto Princesa City and Cuyo Island in Palawan is by slow ferry from Iloilo City. Traveling between Iloilo and Puerto Princesa by sea is a popular means of transportation since there are no direct flight between the two cities. It is also the only practical means of getting to Cuyo especially since chartering a flight to the airstrip in Magsaysay, Cuyo Island is quite expensive. The slow or roll-on roll-off (RORO) ferry takes at least 24 hours from Iloilo City to Puerto Princesa taking a stop-over at Cuyo Island. Two shipping companies ply the route namely “Montenegro” and “Milagrosa” Shipping Lines. Both Montenegro and Milagrosa offer twice weekly service.Iloilo to Puerto Princesa City (via Cuyo) RORO Ferry ScheduleMonday Iloilo Departure: 7:00PM (via Milagrosa Shipping) Cuyo Arrival: 8:00AM, Friday Cuyo Departure: 3:00PM, Friday Puerto Princesa City Arrival: 7:00AM, SaturdayWednesday Iloilo Departure: 8:00AM (via – Montenegro Lines) Cuyo Arrival: 4:00PM, Wednesday Cuyo Departure: 8:00PM, Thursday Puerto Princesa City Arrival: 8:00AM, ThursdayFriday Iloilo Departure: 7:00PM (via Milagrosa Shipping) Cuyo Arrival: 8:00AM, Saturday Cuyo Departure: 3:00PM, Saturday Puerto Princesa City Arrival: 7:00AM, SundaySaturday Iloilo Departure: 8:00AM (via Montenegro Lines) Cuyo Arrival: 4:00PM, Tuesday Cuyo Departure: 8:00PM, Tuesday Puerto Princesa City Arrival: 8:00AM, SundayPuerto Princesa to Iloilo (via Cuyo) RORO Ferry ScheduleThursday Puerto Princesa Departure: 3PM (via Milagrosa Shipping) Cuyo Arrival: 7:00AM, Friday Cuyo Departure: 5:00PM, Friday Iloilo City Arrival: 7:00AM, Saturday Puerto Princesa Departure: 6:00PM (via Montenegro Lines) Cuyo Arrival: 6:00AM, Friday Cuyo Departure: 8:00AM, Friday Iloilo City Arrival: 4:00PM, FridaySunday Puerto Princesa Departure: 3:00PM (via Milagrosa Shipping) Cuyo Arrival: 7:00AM, Monday Cuyo Departure: 7:00PM, Monday Iloilo City Arrival: 7:00AM, Tuesday Puerto Princesa Departure: : 6:00PM (via Montenegro Lines) Cuyo Arrival: 6:00AM, Monday Cuyo Departure: 8:00AM, Monday Iloilo City Arrival: 4:00PM, MondayPassenger fares for Iloilo – Puerto Princesa City ferryMilagrosa ShippingIloilo – Puerto Princesa Economy – P950Iloilo – Cuyo Economy – P450Cuyo – Puerto Princesa Economy – P725Montenegro LinesIloilo – Puerto Princesa Economy – P984 Fiesta Class – P1,131 Mabuhay Class – P1,279Iloilo – Cuyo Economy – P695 Fiesta Class – P834 Mabuhay Class – P1,043Cuyo – Puerto Princesa Economy – P916 Fiesta Class – P1,099 Mabuhay Class – P1,374Be sure to confirm the schedule and fares by contacting the shipping companies. Reserve your tickets one day in advance due to the high likelihood that the ferries might already be fully booked a few hours before departure.The slow ferries depart from the Iloilo River Wharf (Lapuz Side), more popularly known as Muelle Loney River Wharf (not Fort San Pedro, Iloilo City’s main seaport). The Milagrosa and Montenegro terminals are actually located across the river from Muelle Loney St., where the terminal for Bacolod-bound fastcrafts are located. If commuting, take the “Lapuz” jeepneys from Iznart St. or across the Old Provincial Capitol building. Tell the driver to drop you off at the (Milagrosa/Montenegro) RORO terminal in Lapuz.Contact DetailsMilagrosa J ShippingIloilo Office: Address: Tarfel Bldg. Brgy.
