Arrival: Port of Valencia

The ferry docks at Port of Valencia - Valencia is the home of paella, the City of Arts and Sciences and a beach on the edge of the old town. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in Valencia with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Palma to Valencia crossing.

Onward journeys from Valencia - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Palma to Valencia ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Children's fares by age; infants generally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Things to do in Valencia after the ferry

The reasons travellers take the ferry to Valencia are the Serranos and Quart towers, Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Albufera lagoon, the Cathedral and the Miguelete tower and the Silk Exchange. Valencia is the home of paella, the City of Arts and Sciences and a beach on the edge of the old town. Eat buñuelos de calabaza during Fallas, paella valenciana and horchata with fartons while you are there.

Best time to take the ferry from Palma to Valencia

April to June and September to October are warm and less crowded; July and August are hot and humid; the Fallas festival (15 to 19 March) is spectacular but closes many central streets and fills hotels. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Palma and Valencia, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.

Ferry or flight from Palma to Valencia?

Ferry versus plane between Palma and Valencia 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 Valencia to Palma

The Valencia to Palma ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 7 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides 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 Palma to Valencia cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Palma to Valencia?" 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 can provide the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - shortly afterwards of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Palma to Valencia: how to pay less

A cheap Palma to Valencia ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
• 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
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Palma to Valencia that day and how much a different day would save.

Timetable and season of the Palma to Valencia ferry

Daily - that is how often the ferry from Palma to Valencia runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 7 hours 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your date rather than a list that may be out of date.
