Ferry destinations

What Ferries routes are there in Spain?

We sell 4580 Ferries routes in Spain, serving 82 places, run by 8 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

How much do Ferries tickets in Spain cost?

The cheapest Ferries fare in Spain is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 4,580 routes we sell there. The median route runs 510 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of Spain by Ferries?

288 of the Ferries routes we sell touching Spain cross a border and 4292 stay inside it, reaching 5 other countries including United Kingdom, France, Algeria. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Ferries services in Spain?

8 operators run Ferries services on routes we sell in Spain: Baleària, Brittany Ferries, Ferry Fred. Olsen, Grimaldi, La méridionale. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Ferries route in Spain?

The longest Ferries route we sell touching Spain runs from Lepe to Palma, 896 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 510 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
