Cruise ports in Cruises in the Philippines – Manila as a City Destination

Published ports: 1. An overview for planning your cruise.

A cruise stay in Manila gives the Philippines an urban focus. The Eva Macapagal Manila Cruise Terminal is near Luneta Park, Intramuros, the National Museum, and Binondo. This means a port day can bring together different sides of Manila, but it does not replace a trip to other island regions of the country.

Putting Manila in context as a city destination

If you get to know Manila on a cruise, you are choosing the city as a specific focus of your trip. A visit can center on history, museums, or the Binondo district. For a broader impression of the Philippines, combine your cruise with extra time on land or a separate onward journey.

Plan for more than one port day

If you would like to experience other parts of the Philippines as well as Manila, set aside separate travel days rather than trying to fit too much into your port stay. When choosing excursions, consider the actual time in port and confirmed connections to your destinations; proximity in a location description does not automatically mean everything is within walking distance.
