The Ibiza to Palma crossing connects Ibiza and Palma in Spain. This route is part of the Western Mediterranean / Balearic Islands ferry network.
For a departure from Ibiza, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Ibiza Town is the main ferry gateway to the island.
On the other side of the crossing, Palma is your arrival port. Palma’s historic centre is compact, while city buses, taxis and Mallorca’s rail/bus network help with beaches and island excursions.
Compare the Ibiza departure and Palma arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Ibiza to Palma result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Palma may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

For your Ibiza to Palma sailing, arrange your journey to Ibiza around the check-in deadline. The ferry may use a different entrance or terminal from other services at the same harbour. Check the boarding instructions before booking a connecting train, bus or taxi.
Palma is Mallorca’s principal ferry port, close to the city waterfront and connected quickly to the island road network. Terminal instructions vary by operator and sailing.
After the ferry reaches Palma, allow time for disembarkation before a collection or onward connection. Check where passengers leave the terminal and whether your next stop is within walking distance or requires a transfer.
Use the facilities listed for the ship on your departure. Vessel assignments and onboard services can change.
Accommodation ranges from reserved seats and lounges to private cabins on longer conventional sailings.
Cafés, restaurants and bars vary by vessel; fast ferries generally have a simpler offer than overnight ships.
Pet-friendly seats, cabins or kennels may be available, but each operator has its own booking and documentation rules.
Cars, motorcycles, vans and other bookable vehicles can travel on vehicle ferries, subject to deck capacity.
For your Ibiza to Palma sailing, keep the booking confirmation and any identification required by the operator ready. Check ticket collection, check-in and boarding instructions before leaving for Ibiza.
Use the terminal named on the Ibiza booking confirmation. Plan the approach, parking or drop-off before departure; the town centre or railway station may be some distance from check-in.
Check names and travel details before you arrive. If taking a vehicle, enter its full dimensions and include trailers, roof loads or rear-mounted equipment where required.
Use current official guidance for documents, entry permissions and any vehicle or pet requirements that apply to your journey. Requirements depend on your circumstances and can change.

Palma’s Intermodal Station links buses and local rail services for many inland destinations across Mallorca.
A car gives the most flexibility for mountain villages, remote coves and multi-stop Mallorca itineraries.
For an onward connection from Palma, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.

A historic Mediterranean island capital surrounded by beaches, coves and an extensive fast-ferry and overnight ferry network
Ibiza is much more than its famous nightlife. Ibiza Town combines a busy Mediterranean harbour with Dalt Vila, the fortified upper town whose walls and historic core form part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing.
Inside the old walls, steep lanes lead past viewpoints, churches and whitewashed buildings towards the cathedral. Below, the marina and harbour districts are packed with restaurants, shops and evening activity.
Beyond the capital, Ibiza’s appeal comes from coves, pine-covered hills, beach clubs, quiet villages and viewpoints across the western coast. Ses Salines, Cala Comte and the landscape around Es Vedrà are among the island’s most recognisable experiences.
Ferries are also central to island life. Fast services make Formentera an easy day trip, while longer routes connect Ibiza with Mallorca, Menorca and mainland ports including Dénia, Valencia and Barcelona.
Because operator and berth arrangements can change by route and season, passengers should check the terminal instructions attached to the actual booking rather than relying only on a general port location.
Use the terminal or pier named on your operator confirmation. The published departure is the sailing time; check-in and vehicle acceptance close earlier. If reaching Ibiza by train or bus, allow for the transfer from the station to the harbour and for luggage handling.
Palma de Mallorca is both a rewarding Mediterranean city break and the main urban gateway to Mallorca. The old town spreads behind the waterfront with honey-coloured lanes, courtyards, churches, cafés and one of Spain’s most recognisable cathedrals.
La Seu cathedral dominates the bay, while the neighbouring Royal Palace of La Almudaina, Passeig del Born and the lanes around Plaça Major make the centre easy to explore on foot.
Bellver Castle adds panoramic views from a wooded hill west of the centre, and Palma also works well as a base for beaches, mountain villages and wider Mallorca day trips.
The Port of Palma is one of the Balearic Islands’ principal passenger gateways. Current ferry networks connect Palma with Barcelona and Valencia, and services also link Mallorca with other Balearic islands depending on operator and timetable.
Palma is a large commercial and cruise port, so ferry travellers should confirm the exact terminal, quay and reporting time for their operator before travelling.
Palma also rewards travellers who stay beyond the waterfront. Santa Catalina is known for its market and restaurants, while the old town’s courtyards, galleries and shaded streets give the city a strong sense of place away from the busiest visitor areas.
For a longer stay, the city is an easy starting point for Mallorca’s wider attractions, including the Serra de Tramuntana, Valldemossa, Sóller and beaches around the Bay of Palma. Good road and public-transport links make it practical to combine a ferry crossing with a wider island itinerary.
Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Palma. Leave time to unload before a timed collection, train or island bus. If the ferry arrives late in the day, check the final public-transport departure or arrange a transfer in advance.
Allow for the overland journey to Ibiza before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.
A direct sailing from Portsmouth or Plymouth can reduce the long drive through France. For Balearic or Canary Island ferries, allow for the separate mainland or island transfer and any restrictions on taking a hire car aboard.
Select the correct passenger category before comparing Ibiza to Palma fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.
For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.
Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
