Taking a motorhome to Mallorca

The only way to get to Mallorca with a motorhome is by ferry. From Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, you sail to Palma; from Barcelona, Toulon and Sète, to Alcúdia. For a camper, three things matter most: the right dimensions in the booking, the right quay and plenty of time at the port.

Which operators carry motorhomes?

Baleària carries motorhomes and caravans and sails from Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. GNV also carries motorhomes on Barcelona-Palma. Corsica Ferries takes campers from Toulon and Sète to Alcúdia, which saves you the drive down to Spain's east coast. The guide Ferry from France to Mallorca compares which of the two ports suits you. Trasmed carries vehicles on all its crossings.

Whether your camper can be booked on a particular sailing shows in the booking as soon as you enter the vehicle type and dimensions.

Dimensions decide the fare

You book by vehicle type, length and height, including all add-ons: rear bike rack, roof box, tow bar and, for a car and caravan, the caravan itself. Measure your vehicle yourself rather than relying on the manufacturer's figures.

Vehicle and dimensions must match the booking at check-in. GNV checks the number plate and dimensions at the port and, if they differ, charges the fare difference plus a fee. Starting fares for each route are on the Prices page.

The right quay first, then everything else

In Barcelona and Valencia, the operators don't leave from the same berth. With a large vehicle, correcting your route in port traffic takes time you won't have before the check-in deadline.

• Barcelona: for Baleària sailings to Palma, vehicles enter at the Muelle Adosado, while foot passengers check in at Terminal Norte by the World Trade Center. GNV leaves from the Moll de Sant Bertran.
• Valencia: Baleària leaves from the Estació Marítima on the Moll de la Túria, Trasmed from the Muelle de Poniente.

Always go by the berth shown on your ticket and in the operator's departure notice.

Check-in: the deadline depends on the operator

With a vehicle, the deadlines are longer than on foot:

If you're still comparing operators, plan around the longest deadline. With GNV, only the driver boards with the vehicle, and everyone else boards on foot. Trasmed usually works the same way.

Gas on board

If your motorhome runs on LPG, declare it to GNV at check-in. Each operator sets its own rules on how gas bottles for cooking and heating must be secured during the crossing.

The vehicle deck is closed

You can't get to your motorhome at any point during the crossing. Luggage can stay in the vehicle, but on overnight sailings such as from Barcelona or Toulon, that's many hours without access. Take everything you need on board upstairs with you beforehand: ID, medication, chargers and clothes for the night.

Your dog doesn't stay in the motorhome during the crossing. Book the pet place together with your ticket; the rules for each operator are in the guide Taking your dog on the ferry.

Continuing to Ibiza with a motorhome

Ibiza limits the number of vehicles on the island in summer. In 2026 this applied from 1 June to 30 September. During that period, motorhomes and caravans needed to register, pay a fee and have a pitch booked at a campsite. The rule affects you if you take the Palma-Ibiza ferry with your camper in summer.

Palma or Alcúdia?

Choose your arrival port based on your campsite or motorhome pitch. Palma in the south suits the capital and the south-west, while Alcúdia in the north shortens the onward drive to the Bay of Alcúdia, Pollença and the north-east. The timetable shows the sailings for both ports. The guide Taking a car to Mallorca explains what applies to every vehicle on the ferry.
