International Cruise

THE PHILIPPINES IS EXPECTING SOME 18 CRUISE SHIPS TO BRING MORE THAN 20,000 TOURISTS THIS YEAR.  A substantial increase from just 10 cruise vessels in 2011 to 16 in 2013.  The Department of  Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr.  sees strong interest from international cruise lines increasing their ports of call and expanding visits to more islands in the country.  An average of 10-12 hours have been tallied from visiting cruise ships in each port of call in the Philippines.  There is also a noted demand for non-traditional destinations such as --

Kalanggaman Island in Polompon, Leyte

Hundreds Islands in Alaminos, Pangasinan

Sta. Ana in Cagayan

Coron Island in Northern Palawan
