Mallorca ferry timetable
Choose your route and travel day. Journey time, ship and operator can vary by departure.
From mainland Spain
Most crossings to Mallorca start on Spain's east coast, and the three ports differ above all in how you reach them. Barcelona has the densest service and the best rail connections; ships sail from here both to Palma and to Alcúdia in the north of the island.
Valencia is the port for anyone coming from the south or from inland Spain, and like Barcelona it sits on the high-speed line. Dénia, between the two, is the shortest sea route to the island and worth a look if you are starting on the Costa Blanca anyway.
From France
Ships from France sail to Alcúdia, not to Palma, and both routes are more seasonal than the Spanish ones. Toulon is the shorter crossing, Sète the more south-westerly approach by road. For travellers from central and western Europe they save the drive across Spain.
Between the Balearics
Within the archipelago, Mallorca connects onward to Ibiza and Formentera from Palma, and from Alcúdia to Ciutadella on Menorca. These routes appear in the timetable above alongside the mainland ones, so if you are planning an island combination, compare them on the same travel date.
What to watch out for in the timetable
Always pick the day you are actually travelling. Many connections run all year, but not at the same frequency every month, and the French routes pause outside the season. An empty day in the timetable therefore says something about that date, not about the route.
Compare the individual departure line rather than a general figure for the route: depending on the day, the same route is served by fast ferries or by conventional ships, and intermediate calls change the sailing time on top of that.
With a vehicle, check-in comes into it. On these routes the operators require a substantial lead time before departure; what counts is your ticket and the departure notice, not the time in the timetable.

Questions about the timetable
How to read the timetable and the empty entries correctly.
How up to date is this timetable? +
The timetable shows planned departures and is not a real-time disruption tracker. Short-notice changes due to weather or technical issues are announced by the operator first, check there or in your booking confirmation.
What does it mean if no departure is shown? +
An empty day is not confirmation that the route is cancelled. For certain seasonal routes or dates far in the future, the feed may still be incomplete. Check a neighbouring day and then the operator's published timetable.
Why does the same route sometimes take longer, sometimes shorter? +
Depending on the travel day, either fast ferries or conventional ships operate. Stops along the way also affect the duration. So compare the specific departure listing rather than a general route figure.
Do the ferries run all year round? +
Many connections from the Spanish mainland and between the Balearic Islands run all year, though not daily at the same frequency. Toulon and Sète are more seasonal. Available dates are shown above in the timetable.
How early do I need to be at the port? +
The deadline depends on the operator, port and vehicle. Baleària generally requires a minimum of 90 minutes' notice with a vehicle on the routes relevant here. For Sète, we also recommend allowing 90 minutes with a vehicle. Your ticket and the departure notice always take precedence.
