Sail the ALGECIRAS - CEUTA route aboard TRASMEDITERRANEA's fleet, one of the key operators linking southern Spain with North Africa.
About TRASMEDITERRANEA
Founded in Barcelona in 1917, Trasmediterranea has grown into Spain's leading shipping company, connecting the mainland ports with the Balearic and Canary Islands, the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and destinations across North Africa. Onboard, travellers can expect a modern fleet and a wide range of services, from à la carte restaurants to swimming pools and boutique shops, making the crossing part of the holiday itself.
Algeciras
Facing the Rock of Gibraltar at the eastern mouth of the strait that bears its name, Algeciras is home to roughly 120,000 people on a site that has been settled since prehistoric times. A Phoenician trading post and later a Roman town, it flourished under Arab rule from 711 onward, taking its modern name from Al-Jazira Al-Khadra, "the green island." Fought over for centuries by Christian and Muslim kingdoms, it was finally taken by Castile in 1344 after a famously long siege. Traces of that past survive in the Plaza Alta, the church of Nuestra Señora de la Palma and remnants of its Marinid-era walls; the town is also known as the birthplace of guitarist Paco de Lucía. Today its harbour is Spain's busiest and one of Europe's largest by tonnage, serving as a transshipment hub linking Asia, the Americas and the Mediterranean. Handling several million passengers a year, it is also the main crossing point between Europe and Morocco, making it a cornerstone of ferry links to North Africa.
Algeciras Ferry Terminal
The Estación Marítima lies within the port area, just a short walk from Algeciras town centre and its railway station. Local buses serve it well, and it's easily reached by taxi or car from the A-7/AP-7 motorway by following signs for "Puerto / Estación Marítima." Passport and customs checks are standard, and can be more thorough on crossings to Morocco. Foot passengers should allow around 1 hour before departure, and 1.5 to 2 hours with a vehicle, with considerably more time needed in high season due to queues.
Ceuta
A Spanish autonomous city of just over 83,000 people, Ceuta occupies a uniquely strategic spot at the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar, on the North African coast facing mainland Spain. Settled as early as the first millennium BC by Phoenician sailors and later developed by the Carthaginians, it became the Roman town of Septem Fratres before passing through Byzantine and then Umayyad rule. Portuguese control from 1415 — one of the opening chapters of European overseas expansion — gave way to the Spanish crown in 1580, a status it has held ever since despite ongoing Moroccan claims. The old town still bears the marks of that long history: the imposing moated Royal Walls, the hilltop fort of Monte Hacho overlooking the bay, and a cathedral built over the remains of a former mosque. Home to Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu communities alike, Ceuta has a border-town, cosmopolitan character rare in the Mediterranean. A free port for much of its history, it now lives on cross-border trade with Morocco, fishing and activity tied to its military garrison. Sitting right at the strait's exit, it is a key link in maritime routes between mainland Spain, via Algeciras, and the African continent.
Ceuta Ferry Terminal
The ferry terminal sits at Muelle Cañonero Dato, on the seafront, just a short walk from the historic centre and Plaza de los Reyes (GPS: 35.89° N, 5.32° W). It's easily reached on foot from the old town or by taxi from any part of Ceuta. Although Ceuta is administratively part of Spain, its position as an enclave surrounded by Morocco means police and customs checks apply systematically at boarding, even for travellers arriving from the Iberian mainland; a valid ID or passport is therefore required. During busy periods, arriving at least 2 to 3 hours before the scheduled departure is recommended.
