Ceres Liner Bus – Dumaguete to Cebu City
The Ceres Liner bus company runs between Cebu city and Dumaguete 4 times a day.
Your bus takes a short hop on a ferry between the islands of Cebu and Negros.
There is an additional fare of about 50 peso for boat trip.
You get off the bus for the trip across the open water and sit in the upper deck on the boat.
It is a fairly quick crossing and you don’t have to worry about making a bus connection once you are across the water.

Occasionally they have a promotion in order to make tougher competition for Rough Rider, the new line of red buses that take the same route.
This is also the bus you will take if bound for Kawasan Falls past the town of Badian.
If you plan to stay in Moalboal you can catch the bus south bound at the market when you are ready to leave again.
Take a bus to Bato and get off at the pier where you can catch the pump boat or the fast ferry across to Negros.
If you are planning to go to Malapascua Island off the north end of Cebu you will leave from the “North” terminal in Mandaue City. Take it to Maya where you will catch a pump boat to Malapascua. There are no Ceres buses that go between the south and the north terminal. Take a cab.
update aug 2008 – The cost regular fare from Cebu City to Moalboal is now been raised to 109 pesos one way.

Hi! Can I invite you to the Flickr group Philippine Ship Spotters Society and post your photos there? Thanks.
Can you pls post the exact schedule departure of ceres from cebu to bacolod daily and vice versa including the fares? Thnaks
Hi Ronald,
I don’t have the information that you want on hand.
That is a very basic run, however.
dp
CELES Lines has an office in Batangas
my biyahe po ba ngaung dec. 26, 2009 cebu to dumaguete?
Hi jaymari,
I am pretty sure they are running on the 26th but call just to verify.
phone 035 4170280 , 4196023
dp
how much is the fare in ferry from iligan to cebu?
Hello winaflor,
Ceres Lines do not operate in Mindanao (which is where Iligan is)
Rural Transit is the bus liner that runs Mindanao and there are no buses from Iligan to Cebu.
The easiest way to get from Iligan to Cebu is to take a Rural Transit bus to Dipolog and then take a tricycle to the port of Dapitan, Mindanao.
You will hop across the bay on the Ozamis to Mukas ferry.
In Dapitan get a ticket on any of the 4 ferries making the run to Dumaguete on Negros.
From Dumaguete you can get a bus direct to Cebu City. The fare will include a short ferry hop from Negros to Cebu Island.
Its not a difficult trip but get an early start so you can get to Cebu at a reasonable hour.
cheers
dp
may i know what is the new tel.no of ceres bus lines cuz’the old tel.no is no longer connected
Naa lang koy usa ka pangutana. Tag pila man ang biyahe gikan sa Cebu padulong sa Dumaguete via ferry?
Hello AJ
I never took the ferry from Cebu to Dumaguete so am not sure.
It is quicker to take the bus from Cebu to Dumaguete The bus follows the coast to Bato, (in southern Cebu) where it makes the short hop on the Maayo ferry across to Negros Island and then proceeds to the city of Dumaguete.
I don’t have the current fare but it used to run about 250 pesos.
dp
thanks a lot for all the info! you are helping many people with all your posts.. more power!
Hello jeyn,
Cheers!

Hi dp,
Tanong ko lang kung mayrun ba byahe ang Ceres sa April 1, 2010 (Holyweek) Dumaguete to Cebu?

can i have the contact number of ceres line in cebu?…i want to know the schedules of cebu-dumaguete-cebu daily trips asap…thanks a lot
Hi ren,
I don’t have the Ceres Lines number handy but you can check any local paper for the most recent schedule.
dp
thanks dutchpickle….
are there any slight changes on the schedule of cebu-dumaguete trips of ceres bus line?…
Hi ren,
There are continuous minor changes to the schedules but Ceres Lines is growing, so most likely there will be even more options than what I list.
dp
naa rko pangutana kung pwede pa kabyahe ang eight months pregnant cebu to dumaguete?naa mo requirements dapat eh comply before mo mag authorize ana?thanks
Hello zosine,
Best to check with your doctor about that hon. I do not know if there are any regulations on the bus about traveling when that far along but most ferries will not allow it.
One woman gave birth in a mulit-cab on the way into Ormoc City from Nueva a few months ago. It made for an interesting situation, but the baby and mother were both ok.
dp
gud day! pls post schedule of trip from dumaguete to bacolod pls..thank you…
may i ask kung gkan sa peir 1 pila ang plete padong sa south bus terminal?
which is better, to ride ina bus going to bato or vhire?/….
then i will ride maayo to negros…
Hello chonsy –
If she is leaving from Cebu – just go to the Ceres Terminal there and get the express bus to Dumaguete. The air con is very comfortable and fast.
I don’t know of any v-hires that go from Cebu to Dumaguete. They just couldn’t compete with the convenience and comfort of the bus.
cheers
dp
