Boracay

The country has been completely independent since 1946. This area has an equatorial climate: hot and humid, with rain between June and November. The Philippines’ lush nature can be admired during an MSC Cruise excursion to Boracay. The west shore of the island is lapped by the Sulu Sea, while the east coast faces the Sibuyan Sea. The island is inhabited by about 30,000 people (in 2010). Of particular interest in terms of local fauna, is a few species of “fruit” bats, so-called because they feed on the flourishing and dense native vegetation, which is rich in coconut palms.

 

Boracay is four miles long and less than a mile wide. It has long been a tourist destination thanks to its famous beautiful White Beach, 2.5 miles of pure white sand, lapped by turquoise water. The beach is divided into three Stations: Station 1 is the quietest, ideal for relaxing, while Stations 2, in the middle, and 3 are more lively. In the evening, White Beach comes alive with clubs, bars, craft shops and restaurants, where you can have a fun night out while being lulled by the sound of waves.
