Route guide

Plan your ferry from Palma to Barcelona

The Palma to Barcelona crossing connects Palma and Barcelona 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, Barcelona is your arrival port. Barcelona has an extensive metro, bus and suburban-rail network, making most sightseeing straightforward without a car.

Compare the Palma departure and Barcelona arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Palma to Barcelona 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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona 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.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Barcelona

Barcelona has an extensive metro, bus and suburban-rail network, making most sightseeing straightforward without a car.

The metro covers the major visitor districts, while the Gothic Quarter and waterfront are best explored on foot.

High-speed and regional trains link Barcelona with cities across Spain and international services towards France.

A car is more useful for Costa Brava, inland Catalonia and onward road touring than for the central city itself.

For an onward connection from Barcelona, 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.
