How to book ferry tickets from Tangier to Civitavecchia with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a ferry from Tangier to Civitavecchia is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a car and its length, a cabin, a pushchair, a pet, a connection on arrival - you let us know on WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Tanger Med port and stay reachable during the crossing.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
- Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Civitavecchia
If plans change, the same WhatsApp conversation handles it. We explain the operator's change and cancellation rules for the fare you chose before any payment, so there are no surprises later.
Timetable and season of the Tangier to Civitavecchia ferry
Sailing times on the Tangier to Civitavecchia route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule a few a week. Morning departures are usually the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Tanger Med port.
If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Tanger Med port
Tanger Med port is where the Tangier to Civitavecchia ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.
- Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
- Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
- Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
Arrival: Civitavecchia port
You step off at Civitavecchia port. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your accommodation.
Onward journeys from Civitavecchia - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the crossing to fit.
On board the Tangier to Civitavecchia ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage
On board, the ferry from Tangier to Civitavecchia is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. Taking the car means driving on, parking as directed, and coming back down only at the arrival port.
- Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
- Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
- Children's fares by age; infants normally free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
Things to do in Civitavecchia after the ferry

Best time to take the ferry from Tangier to Civitavecchia

Ferry or flight from Tangier to Civitavecchia?
Ferry versus plane between Tangier and Civitavecchia comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from Civitavecchia to Tangier
The Civitavecchia to Tangier ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 48 hours. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.
How much does the ferry from Tangier to Civitavecchia cost?
"How much is the ferry ticket from Tangier to Civitavecchia?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - within minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.
Just ask for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Tangier to Civitavecchia ferry.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Tangier to Civitavecchia: how to pay less
The cheapest ferry ticket from Tangier to Civitavecchia is generally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
When you send the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Tangier to Civitavecchia ferry first, then the alternatives.
