The crossing

Oran – Barcelona with Baleària

Oran – Barcelona brings you back to Catalonia during the same summer season. The crossing is a little longer in this direction and takes place largely at night.

The crossing is spent between meals, relaxing and the outdoor deck. Bring warm clothes for the night: the deck is cool even in summer.

Allow a comfortable margin for the journey to the port of Oran and for formalities. Departures at the end of the season, in September, are the least busy.

Departing from

Oran

Oran, nicknamed “El Bahia”, the radiant, can be admired one last time from the ferry deck: above the city, the chapel and fort of Santa Cruz watch over the bay from the Murdjadjo mountain. The older Sidi El Houari district preserves traces of the Spanish and Ottoman periods. Oran is also the city where raï music spread across the whole country, and its summer evenings are still lively on the seafront. Allow plenty of time before boarding, as formalities are long in high season.

Arriving in

Barcelona

Barcelona receives the ferries from Algeria in the large port at the foot of Montjuïc, a few metro or bus stops from the Ramblas. Drivers quickly reach the Ronda Litoral and then the AP-7 motorway towards France or Valencia. For foot passengers, El Prat airport and Sants station offer plenty of connections, and the Montjuïc cable car lets you gain some height while waiting for your next departure.
