Mallorca ferries
Palma or Alcúdia: the destination port decides
Mallorca has two ferry ports. Palma lies in the south of the island and is the main hub for Barcelona, Valencia, Dénia, as well as the connections to Ibiza and Formentera. Alcúdia lies in the north and is served, among others, from Barcelona, Toulon, Sète and Ciutadella.
For Palma, Calvià, the southwest and many destinations inland, Palma is usually the clear choice of arrival port. For Pollença, Port d'Alcúdia, Can Picafort and the northeast, Alcúdia can shorten the overland journey considerably. So compare the total travel time: the journey to the departure port, the crossing, and onward travel on Mallorca.
Ferries from the Spanish mainland
The three main mainland ports are Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. The specific operators, ships and journey times vary by travel day; the route pages and the timetable pull their departures from the live feed.
Barcelona - Palma
Barcelona-Palma is the widest connection to southern Mallorca. Baleària, GNV and Trasmed all appear in the current feed. Depending on the departure, you'll travel by day or overnight; seating and cabin options vary by ship.
Barcelona - Alcúdia
Barcelona-Alcúdia runs directly to the north of Mallorca. Fast ferries shorten the sea crossing, while conventional sailings can take longer but offer a different range of onboard facilities. Check at booking which ship type is running on your date.
Valencia - Palma
Valencia-Palma is often better positioned than Barcelona if you're travelling from central or southeastern Spain. The route is offered as a day or overnight crossing. Compare departures using identical vehicle and accommodation details.
Dénia - Palma
Dénia-Palma is the southernmost of the three direct mainland routes on this page. The service doesn't run on the same schedule every day; use the live timetable rather than assuming a fixed weekly frequency.
Ferries from France
Toulon and Sète avoid the overland journey to Spain's east coast. In exchange, the sea crossings are longer and the service is far more seasonal. Plan the outbound and return crossing together: with only a few sailings available, a single day of the week can decide your whole trip.
Toulon - Alcúdia
Toulon-Alcúdia is operated by Corsica Ferries. The overnight crossing arrives in the north of Mallorca. Current duration, ship and operating days are shown in the route widget; fixed seasonal figures are too imprecise for this route.
Sète - Alcúdia
Sète-Alcúdia only appears on a handful of seasonal dates. Corsica Ferries quotes roughly a weekly sailing as a guide figure, but the live feed may only show a few actual departures over long periods. If travelling with a vehicle, allow 90 minutes at the terminal.
Ferries between the Balearic Islands
Mallorca is also connected directly to Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. These routes suit island-hopping trips and carry vehicles on many departures. Even so, check the specific vehicle confirmation, especially for a connection with a transfer.
Palma - Ibiza
The Palma-Ibiza ferry sails directly to the port of Botafoc. Baleària quotes around two hours for the fast ferry; other departures take longer. Seat category, vehicle and pet space are all chosen together with the ticket.
Mallorca - Menorca
The main connection runs from Alcúdia to Ciutadella. Both fast and conventional ships operate on Mallorca-Menorca; Baleària publishes several daily sailings, and other operators run at times too.
Palma - Formentera
Palma-Formentera is offered by Baleària as a connection via Ibiza. The journey may include a stop, a change of ship or a transfer. Don't assume a regular, non-stop direct service.
Travelling with a vehicle, motorhome or pet
For a car, measure length and height including any roof box, carrier or trailer. With Baleària, a minimum of 90 minutes' notice generally applies when travelling with a vehicle; other operators may differ. The vehicle deck stays closed during the crossing. The full checklist is under Taking a car on the ferry.
For a motorhome, caravan or car-and-trailer combination, gas cylinders, overall length and possible power questions also come into play, see the motorhome guide for that. Pet cabins, pet-friendly seating, kennels or designated areas depend on the operator and ship. Also check the official entry requirements under Taking a dog to Mallorca.
How to compare reliably
In the timetable, choose the route and date first. An empty day can also mean incomplete seasonal data; check neighbouring days and then the operator.
Only compare prices with the same passenger numbers, vehicle dimensions, accommodation options and fare conditions. An apparently cheaper departure can become the wrong choice once you factor in a longer overland journey or the lack of a cabin. The binding departure time is always the one given by the operator or your booking confirmation.
FAQ: Mallorca ferries
Frequently asked questions
The key decisions before you book.
Which ports have a ferry to Mallorca?+
From the Spanish mainland: Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; from southern France, seasonally, Toulon and Sète. There are also connections between the Balearic Islands to Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. The timetable shows which crossing is available on your date.
Should I travel to Palma or Alcúdia?+
Palma suits the capital, the southwest and many destinations inland. Alcúdia is better positioned for the north and northeast. Add up the overland journey and the crossing together before deciding purely on the shortest sea crossing.
How long does the crossing to Mallorca take?+
It depends on the route, ship and any stops. Fast ferries from Barcelona or between the islands are considerably quicker than overnight crossings from France. Compare the exact crossing time in the live timetable.
Can I take a car or motorhome?+
Yes, on the bookable car ferries, as long as vehicle deck space is still available. Length and height must be correct including any attachments. You'll find the checklist under Taking a car to Mallorca; for motorhomes, see Motorhome on the ferry as well.
How early do I need to be at the port?+
The deadline depends on the operator, port and vehicle. With Baleària, a minimum of 90 minutes' notice generally applies on the Mallorca routes when travelling with a vehicle. Your ticket and the latest departure notice always take precedence.
Can my dog or cat travel on board?+
Yes, but accommodation and booking options vary by operator and ship. Book the pet space early and check the pet passport and rabies vaccination. Operator rules are listed under Taking a dog on the ferry.
Do the France routes run all year?+
No. Toulon-Alcúdia and especially Sète-Alcúdia depend on the season and the date. An empty day in the widget is not confirmation of a cancellation; check nearby dates and then the operator.
