Sabang, the official port of call in the Philippines, stands apart from typical cruise stops with its intimate footprint and unmatched accessibility to one of Southeast Asia's most biodiverse marine corridors. Signature experiences center on the Verde Island Passage: guided reef dives and snorkeling among macro-rich hard corals, vibrant reef life, sea turtles, and underwater night dives that reveal another underwater palette; guests can also join eco-friendly island-hopping trips to Apo Reef's pristine atolls for expansive seascapes and unwind along Puerto Galera’s white-sand coves. The port serves as a gateway to Mindoro’s inland charm as well, with easy shore excursions to cascading waterfalls, lush hilltop viewpoints, and small villages that showcase Filipino hospitality and craftsmanship. Fleet features at Sabang are designed for variety and efficiency: deep-water berthing capable of mid-size cruise ships, rapid tender operations, modern passenger terminals with comfortable lounges, and robust safety and environmental programs that minimize impact while maximizing turnaround speed. Onboard services are equally attentive, with shore-experience teams coordinating bespoke in-port adventures, multilingual guides, seamless transfers, and ship-to-shore connections that pair Mindoro flavors—fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and coconut delicacies—with curated cultural activities, wellness options, and flexible dining to keep guests engaged and relaxed between excursions.
