Algeciras Ceuta: Guide to the Algeciras Ceuta Ferry Crossing

The most popular ferry crossing to Ceuta is from the Spanish port of Algeciras. The Algeciras Ceuta line is operated by Transmediterranea, Buquebus and EuroFerrys with over 20 high-speed ferry crossings daily. The journey takes 35 minutes or more, depending on the ship.

You can expect to pay around 25 Euros without a car, and 30 Euros with a car. Children aged two or less travel for free, while children between the ages of two and twelve pay 50% less.

Tickets are no problem to come by, you can just normally turn up at the port and buy them. The ferry companies and private ticket offices line up the periphery of the ferry terminal at both Ceuta (Estacion Maritima) and Algeciras.

The two periods to avoid are the end of Easter Week (Semana Santa) and the last week of August. There are massive queues of mostly Moroccan workers returning to Europe and ferries can be full for days on end.

Online booking is the best way to book your ferry simply and securely. Use a service such as Aferry to book your return Algeciras Ceuta ferry. You then simply collect your ticket at the port of crossing by showing a relevant ID (a passport).
