Route guide

Plan your ferry from Ceuta to Algeciras

The Ceuta to Algeciras crossing connects Ceuta and Algeciras in Spain. This route is part of the Spain / Spain ferry network.

For a departure from Ceuta, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Ceuta is the Spanish ferry port on the Algeciras crossing. Confirm the ferry terminal named on the ticket when arranging a collection and plan the next stage of your journey from Ceuta itself.

On the other side of the crossing, Algeciras is your arrival port. The station, bus terminal, centre and port are relatively close together, while regional transport opens up Gibraltar, Tarifa and the wider Campo de Gibraltar.

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