Tanger Med: ferries, timetables and prices
Tanger Med is Morocco’s main ferry gateway to Europe and one of the busiest passenger and freight ports in the Mediterranean. From here you can sail with your vehicle to Algeciras and other Spanish ports such as Motril, Málaga or Barcelona, and on some routes to Sète or Genoa. These crossings are very popular with families, workers and students travelling between Europe, Morocco and the Rif region with cars, vans, motorbikes or campers. On TheBato you can compare ferry companies, timetables and prices in one search, add your vehicle and choose between seats and cabins, with support in English, Spanish, French and Arabic/Riffian.
Tip: for summer, Ramadhan/Eid, Christmas and school holidays, ferries from Tanger Med can be extremely busy, especially for vehicles. Book well in advance and compare alternative routes via Nador, Tanger Ville, Ceuta or Spanish ports such as Almeria, Motril, Málaga, Algeciras, Barcelona and Sète on TheBato.
Ferry timetables from Tanger Med depend on the route, company and season. The core route Tanger Med ↔ Algeciras usually has multiple daily departures with an average crossing time of about 1 h 30 (depending on vessel and sea conditions). Longer routes to Motril or Málaga often take around 6–8 hours, while crossings to Barcelona, Sète or Genoa are long international journeys that can last from about 28 hours to over 40 hours, often overnight with cabins available. On TheBato you can see current timetables, departure and arrival times, approximate duration and onboard accommodation for each sailing.
The passenger area of Tanger Med offers ticket offices and check-in desks, customs and police controls, waiting rooms, toilets, prayer rooms, cafés and shops, as well as services for passengers with reduced mobility. During peak travel operations (such as Marhaba/OPE) additional shaded areas, rest zones and information points are usually available. Due to the size and activity of the port, it is strongly recommended to arrive early and follow the guidance of port staff at all times.
On TheBato you can compare multiple ferry companies operating between Tanger Med and ports in Spain, France and Italy in a single search. Add your vehicle or travel on foot, choose your timetable and onboard accommodation and pay securely online. Our team is used to helping families, MREs and travellers moving between Europe and Morocco, with support in English, Spanish, French and Arabic/Riffian via WhatsApp and email.
