A new port has opened! SM just recently launched the ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL which is a part and a new addition to the fast-developing Mall of Asia complex. The terminal is SM’s new project to provide good services that adds convenience and enjoyment of the public. The ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL is the new terminal replacing the one in CCP Complex.
It has a very good location since it is just along Seaside blvd., near SM Mall of Asia and other entertainment and business hub such as SM By The Bay, MOA Arena, SMX Convention Center and E-Com buildings. Actually, you can walk from SM MOA going to the terminal or vice versa(if you are not too tired, lazy to walk or in a hurry) just to appreciate the beauty of the bayside. ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL is very accessible for public transportation(taxi) especially for private vehicles.
ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL has sufficient and safe parking space where you can leave your cars while you enjoy your Manila Bay cruise or Corregidor tour.
The terminal provides the public a venue where one can easily book cruises and tours giving the public an avenue to a unique dining and leisure experience at the bay. ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL is PPA (Philippine Ports Authority) accredited and can accommodate both domestic and foreign vessels.
As of today, the terminal has three(3) ferry service partners: Sun Cruises, Prestige Cruises and Orient Craft. Please refer below for their promo and schedules.(Cruise schedules and price are subject to change without prior notice.):

During the terminal launch, I together with other bloggers, media and guests were able to experience a different dining pleasure while cruising by the bay via OrientCraft.
Wow! Just look at that view. It’s like I’m not in the Philippines. Saw this kind of scenery when I visited Hongkong last May. This is the first time I ever appreciated the Manila Bay Harbour. I must say this portion is the nicest part of the whole stretch. Well, just disregard the stinky fishy smell hahaha and ofcourse you have to get ready to get dizzy when the water is not calm.
Even you are not cruising by the bay, you’ll appreciate the nice view of the whole bay looking from the terminal. This is also a very cool spot to watch the sunset. 🙂
ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL is open daily from 7AM-9PM daily. So if you are planning to go to Corregidor or maybe just a simple date with your loved one or maybe throw a party for your friends and family as you cruise the bay, head on to the ESPLANADE SEASIDE TERMINAL and book your cruise trip.
HAPPY TRIP AND ENJOY CRUISING!!!
