Ferries from Morocco to Spain

About Morocco:

Morocco is a country in North Africa, south of Spain, with a coastline on both the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

As one of the most diverse nations on the continent, it’s easy to see why Morocco has long been a popular holiday destination. The dunes of the Sahara Desert and the highest mountains in North Africa dominate the south, while a ruggedly beautiful coastline and lush plains lie to the north.

Spend your afternoon strolling through the Fez medina, the world’s largest living medieval Islamic city, or simply immerse yourself in the traditional Moroccan culture in a café drinking mint tea. Wherever you go, there will be something to grab your attention in this fascinating Arabic country.

Morocco is a great a departure point for a wide range of international destinations by ferry. It has a number of ports along its Mediterranean coastline, offering frequent sailings to popular cities in southern Europe.

About Spain:

Spain is a beautiful and diverse country located in the south west of Europe. As a country well known for its beaches, the geographical and cultural diversity in Spain often comes across as a surprise to its visitors.

This exotic country really has it all, from lush meadows, green valleys and hills to snowy mountains and almost desert zones in the South. No wonder Spain ranks the third most visited European country.

In terms of getting to Spain by ferry, with the North, East and South sides of the country facing the Sea, there’s no shortage of options. From the UK, there are regular scheduled crossings available and though the crossings on offer are long, the ships are cruise like in standard which makes for an extremely pleasant trip. The same applies to the connection across the Mediterranean Sea from Italy.

From the North African coast, you can depart from Morocco, Melilla and Algeria. The services from Morocco in particular are very popular with many companies operating the connection across the strait of Gibraltar.

The Balearic and Canary Islands provide numerous connections to the mainland.
