Route guide

Palma to Ibiza: compare the whole journey, not only the headline fare

Compare Palma to Ibiza ferry tickets with Baleària, GNV and Trasmed. Choose fast or conventional inter-island sailings with vehicles, foot passengers and pets.

Balearic ferry schedules can change by season, vessel and intermediate port call. On multi-operator routes, compare the actual departure time, arrival time, accommodation, vehicle price and whether the itinerary is direct before choosing a ticket.

Travelling by ferry is particularly useful when you want your own car, motorcycle or more luggage on the island. It also avoids airport transfers and lets overnight sailings double as part of the journey.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Palma to Ibiza. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

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.
