Baleària is preparing its largest-ever Strait Crossing Operation, with up to 37 daily sailings between Spain and Morocco, Algeria, Ceuta and Melilla.
Running from 15 June to 15 September, the operation will deploy 12 vessels across eight routes to meet peak summer demand as thousands of passengers travel to North Africa to reunite with their families.
Stronger Network to Morocco
Morocco remains Baleària’s largest market in the region, after carrying nearly one million passengers during last year’s campaign.
Key enhancements include:
- Up to 12 daily departures on the Tarifa–Tangier City service.
- Increased capacity through deployment of a larger fast ferry.
- Nine daily sailings on the Algeciras–Tangier Med route.

Continued Commitment to Algeria
Baleària will again offer five weekly services to Algeria:
- Three weekly sailings from Valencia to Mostaganem.
- One weekly service from Barcelona to Algiers.
- One weekly service from Barcelona to Oran.
The company is marking ten years of operations in the Algerian market.
Reliable Links to Ceuta and Melilla
Baleària will operate:
- Up to 11 daily connections with Ceuta.

Tailored Onboard Services
To improve the travel experience, Baleària will offer:
- Arabic- and French-speaking passenger assistance.

General Manager Georges Bassoul said North Africa has become the group’s fastest-growing business area in recent years.
With expanded capacity, tailored services and a record schedule, Baleària is strengthening its role as a key operator connecting Spain with North Africa during the busy summer season.
