Marseille – Bejaia with Algérie Ferries
Marseille – Bejaia takes you in one night and a day to the heart of Kabylia. Algérie Ferries runs ships such as the El Djazair II or the Tassili II here, depending on the period, and the route operates about four times a month in summer. It is the most direct way to reach Bejaia, Tizi Ouzou or Sétif without going through Algiers.
The crossing is a journey in its own right: meals served on board, common areas for families and cabins for the night. Passengers with a vehicle can only reach the garage during the rare loading calls, never during the crossing.
Most passengers are families from Kabylia, which explains the level of demand in July and August. Book early, and allow for a long road journey on arrival if your destination is inland.

Marseille
Marseille is the oldest city in France: Greek sailors from Phocaea founded Massalia here around 600 BC. The Old Port has kept the city turned towards the sea and the far shore of the Mediterranean ever since. The basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, known to locals as the “Bonne Mère”, watches over the harbour from its hill, and the Mucem, which opened in 2013 at the mouth of the port, is devoted to Mediterranean civilisations. The Panier district, with its sloping lanes, and the nearby calanques make up a stay that many travellers extend by a day before boarding.
Bejaia
Bejaia appears at the back of a gulf closed off by Mount Gouraya, whose wooded slopes drop almost into the sea. Former capital of the Hammadids, the town was long a major port of the central Maghreb, and its French name, Bougie, is the origin of the word for a candle. From here you reach Kabylia, Tizi Ouzou and Sétif by mountain roads, and the Aiguades and Tichy beaches are a few kilometres from the port.
