Doulos floating book fair’s sister ship to visit Cebu in January

THE world’s largest floating book fair is preparing to invade Cebu from January to February, next year.

This will be the first visit of Logos Hope to the Philippines.

The sister ship of MV Doulos, which last visited Cebu in February 2009, Logos Hope is the newest vessel in the GBA Ships fleet.

This newer and larger ship features a greater space for visitors and more comfortable browsing in the air conditioned book fair and café area.

The ship’s advance preparation team has arrived in Cebu and has begun developing plans for the ship’s visit.

The visit of Logos Hope is conducted in partnership with Operation Mobilisation Cebu.

The book fair on board Logos Hope offers over 5,000 books at affordable prices. They cover a range of subjects including science, sports, hobbies, cookery, the arts, medicine, dictionaries, languages and philosophy.

With children’s titles, academic texts, dictionaries, atlases and more, the book fair is something the whole family can enjoy.

The rest of the Visitor Experience Deck is also open for the public from the welcome area, which introduces the new vessel through a short movie and interactive displays, to the International Café, which has ice cream, drinks and snacks for sale.

Logos Hope is operated by GBA Ships, an international charitable organization registered in Germany.

In almost 40 years of service, the organization has welcomed 40-million visitors up the gangways in over 160 countries and territories around the world.
