2GO Travel Offers P99 Sama-Sama Sea Sale!
What is it that makes sailcation different? We wonder why people would choose to travel via a passenger and cargo vessel, rather than book a flight until we tried it ourselves. Now, we can say it’s a totally different kind of experience. We enjoyed it so much that we were thinking of bringing our family to experience what we had.
