What you should know about the crossing
Table of Contents
Arrival & Terminal
Maó has a natural harbour around six kilometres long, where ferries, cruise ships and cargo vessels are handled side by side. Ferry traffic runs from the quays at Moll Cos Nou on the north side of the harbour, outside the old town; the pier and desk Trasmed uses for your sailing are shown on your ticket and departure notice. Follow the signs to the port by car and allow time for the approach along the harbour front.
Check-in & Departure
Trasmed's check-in closes 60 minutes with a vehicle and 30 minutes on foot before the scheduled departure; latecomers have no right to boarding. Every traveller - including babies and pets - needs their own boarding pass, available online, in the app or at the port desk. Keep photo ID and your boarding pass ready: if the details don't match, boarding will be refused.
On Board
The route is served by a conventional ship, currently the Ciudad de Barcelona according to the feed. The booking step shows what accommodation your sailing offers - seat or cabin; for the roughly four-hour evening crossing, a seat is the usual choice. Catering and Wi-Fi depend on the ship in use. Alcoholic drinks you bring on board yourself may be held by the crew until arrival.
Vehicle, Bike & Pet
Cars, motorbikes and motorhomes can be booked subject to available deck space. The vehicle must match the one entered on the ticket and have the stated length and height, otherwise Trasmed doesn't guarantee transport. Garages stay closed during the crossing, so pack documents, medication and chargers into a cabin bag beforehand. Trasmed carries bicycles, surfboards and kayaks free of charge; registration is done through the booking. The full checklist is in Taking your car to Mallorca.
Pets need their own ticket or booking reference; whether and how your pet is accommodated on the specific sailing only shows up at the booking step. Entry and documentation rules are explained in Taking your dog on the ferry.
Arrival & Onward Travel
The ferry arrives at the Muelle Comercial in Alcúdia, the commercial quay at the north end of Port d'Alcúdia's harbour; according to Corsica Ferries, Palma is around 50 minutes away by car from there. Because the sailing departs in the evening, you'll reach Mallorca late at night - arrange accommodation or onward transport around the confirmed arrival time.
Tickets & Fares
Trasmed sells three fare tiers: Sin Flexibilidad, Flexibilidad Media and Flexibilidad Plus. Date, route, time and accommodation can be changed depending on the tier, but you can only cancel with Flexibilidad Plus - and even then on a sliding scale based on how close you are to the travel date, with a deduction on the day itself. Once check-in has closed and boarding passes issued, changes and cancellations are no longer possible. The booking window shows the amounts, and the price overview the route comparison.
Trasmed Route
From Maó to Alcúdia by car ferry
Mahón-Alcúdia is sailed by Trasmed with a conventional ship, currently the Ciudad de Barcelona according to the feed, taking about 3¾ hours. It's not a regular scheduled service - the feed shows around one departure per week, in the evening from Maó, with sailing days from September to April.
If you want a more flexible or faster route to Mallorca, several daily fast ferries run from Ciutadella. For travelling with a motorhome or a lot of luggage from eastern Menorca, though, the evening ferry can still be the more convenient choice.
