Bejaia – Marseille with Algérie Ferries
Bejaia – Marseille brings you back from Kabylia to the south of France in a crossing of about twenty hours. Algérie Ferries ships run here at a reduced rate, a few times a month, so you need to check the available dates carefully.
On board you will find lounges, restaurants, duty-free shops and cabins in several categories. Travellers who want a quiet night’s sleep are better off choosing a cabin rather than a seat.
Before leaving, check that all passengers have the documents required for exit and that vehicles are in order. At Bejaia, the queue at the port can be long on days of departure for Marseille.

Bejaia
Bejaia, the former Bougie, backs onto Mount Gouraya and the national park that bears its name, from where the view plunges over the gulf. The town gave its name to the candle (“bougie” in French), the wax of its workshops having once been exported across the Mediterranean, and it sheltered the Italian mathematician Fibonacci, who learned the Arabic numerals here. The remains of the Casbah, the Saracen Gate and the Aiguades beaches make up a stay you leave with regret. Departures to Marseille or Sète need to be planned ahead, as demand is high in summer.
Marseille
Arriving in Marseille by sea, you see the hill of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde long before you reach the breakwaters of one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean. The ferry quays are north of the centre, in the port area, so allow for a bus, taxi or car transfer to the Old Port and Saint-Charles station, where the TGV leaves for Paris, Lyon and the Riviera. If you have a day to spare, climb up to the Bonne Mère for the panorama or stroll through the Panier district.
