BORACAY ISLAND: With the surge of tourists in this
island resort, shipping company Negros Navigation (Nenaco) revived
its Caticlan-Manila trips using the newly refurbished M/S Saint
Joseph the Worker vessel, reported Panay News.
The ship’s recent blessing was
attended by Nenaco Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sulficio Tagud Jr.
at Pier 2 in Metro Manila.
Nenaco Corporate Communications
Head Gian Galvez said M/S Saint Joseph the Worker is a “fun
ship” that would suit budget-conscious tourists. There will be
comedy acts, concerts, parties, games and other entertainment
features on board.
“We expect to serve more local
and foreign tourists in the Visayas and Mindanao at very affordable
rates,” Galvez said.
The ship had its maiden voyage to
Caticlan on Friday.
“An alternate vessel, M/S San
Paolo, already made its maiden voyage to Caticlan on March 20 (Holy
Thursday). It will sail every Thursday, while M/S Saint Joseph sails
every Friday” Galvez said.
In Manila, free shuttle service
will be provided passengers from Alabang, Cubao and Baclaran going
to Pier 2, likewise to passengers from Kalibo going to Caticlan.
Nenaco also serves Bacolod,
Iloilo, Roxas, Coron, Cagayan de Oro, Dipolog, Iligan, Ozamis and
other key destinations in Visayas and Mindanao.
