Prepare to set sail with the Doulos Hope international floating book fair, making its long-awaited return to Philippine shores after more than a decade. The non-profit organization’s iconic vessel, Doulos Hope, is currently anchored at Subic Bay’s Rivera North Wharf Port, welcoming visitors from February 13 to March 3.
Following its Subic leg, the floating book fair will navigate to the San Fernando International Seaport in San Fernando, La Union, from March 7 to 24. Then, it will make its way to Manila, docking from March 28 to April 23, before concluding its journey in Batangas City from April 16 to 28.
Experience the literary wonders aboard the Doulos Hope, open from Tuesdays to Sundays, 2 to 9 pm, with last entry at 8 pm. Admission is priced at PHP 50 per person, with complimentary entry for children under 12 and seniors over 60.
For a seamless experience, priority is granted to online bookings. While walk-ins are welcome, availability, especially on weekends, may be limited. Registration for San Fernando, La Union, will soon open.
