Route guide

Plan your Almería to Melilla ferry journey

Look for Melilla as the arrival port when comparing sailings from Almería. The same mainland port also serves Morocco and Algeria. If you are meeting family or collecting a car in Melilla, a booking for Nador will not deliver you to the agreed terminal. Port of Almería regular passenger lines.

Baleària gives approximately six hours outbound, with some sailings around six and a half hours. On the page reviewed 1 November 2026 it advertises five weekly departures, subject to the dated programme. Compare the actual arrival day before arranging a pickup. Baleària’s Almería–Melilla route and fare.

The same Baleària page showed a starting price of €65.90 per leg for a passenger with a car and a separate resident figure of €11.36. Those are different eligibility categories, not two fares available to every traveller. Compare the dated total for your actual party and vehicle. Baleària’s Almería–Melilla route and fare.

Armas Trasmediterránea also sells the Almería–Melilla crossing. Its route guide describes passenger lounges and double or four-berth cabins on Volcán de Timanfaya. Confirm your allocated ship and cabin type before paying for accommodation. Armas Trasmediterránea’s Almería route.

For travel within Melilla, arrange collection at the Spanish passenger port. If continuing into Morocco, allow for a separate land border crossing and check entry and vehicle requirements for each traveller rather than treating it as part of the ferry ticket.
