Route guide
Cádiz to Tenerife: a mainland-to-island ferry with a direct option
Baleària Canarias currently publishes two weekly Cádiz–Santa Cruz de Tenerife departures. The
Saturday crossing is described as direct at about 33 hours, while the Tuesday sailing calls at
Arrecife and Las Palmas before continuing to Tenerife.
Because the two weekly departures have different stopping patterns, compare total journey time,
cabin choice, vehicle fare and arrival time rather than treating the route as a single standard
timetable.
Compare the total journey rather than only the headline fare: departure time, arrival time, vehicle
cost, accommodation, port formalities and onward travel can materially change which sailing is best.
Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing
date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin
after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect
the final timing.
