Route guide

Plan your ferry from Palma to Valencia

The Palma to Valencia crossing connects Palma and Valencia in Spain. This route is part of the Western Mediterranean / Balearic Islands ferry network.

For a departure from Palma, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. 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.

On the other side of the crossing, Valencia is your arrival port. Valencia has an extensive metro, tram and bus network, while cycling is practical for many central and waterfront journeys.

Compare the Palma departure and Valencia arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Palma to Valencia 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 Valencia may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Before departure

Prepare for check-in at Palma

For your Palma to Valencia sailing, keep the booking confirmation and any identification required by the operator ready. Check ticket collection, check-in and boarding instructions before leaving for Palma.

Your departure terminal

Use the terminal named on the Palma booking confirmation. Plan the approach, parking or drop-off before departure; the town centre or railway station may be some distance from check-in.

Passenger and vehicle details

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.

Travel documents

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.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Valencia

Valencia has an extensive metro, tram and bus network, while cycling is practical for many central and waterfront journeys.

The old town is best explored on foot, with metro and bus services linking central districts, beaches and major attractions.

The passenger terminals sit within a large commercial port, so allow extra time and use the operator-specific directions rather than assuming the marina is the ferry check-in point.

For an onward connection from Valencia, 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.

Departing from Palma de Mallorca

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.

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 Palma by train or bus, allow for the transfer from the station to the harbour and for luggage handling.

Arriving in Valencia

Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Valencia. 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.

  • Road access from the V-30 and city network
  • Public transport and taxis available
  • Check the operator terminal before travelling

Valencia destination and port guide

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Palma 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.

Planning the wider journey in Spain

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.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Palma to Valencia 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.
