Peñafrancia routes and travel tips
Peñafrancia operates RoRo services, and its home port is Tabaco, Albay. On Philippines Ferry it is listed on 1 corridor: Tabaco to Virac.
Departure times, fares and vessel details differ from route to route, so open a corridor below for the current timetable. Check current ferry cancellations before you travel, because sailings follow Coast Guard and weather suspensions. Student, senior and PWD discounts apply on most routes with a valid ID; see our guide to ferry discounts. Philippines Ferry does not sell tickets, so book with Peñafrancia or at the port ticket office.
