How much does it cost to take a ferry from Spain to Morocco?

Passengers wishing to travel by ferry between Barcelona and Nador can do so twice a week. The trip takes 26 hours, and the ticket cost is around €95. Prices get higher closer to departure, as well as during the high season. The ferry company serving this route in 2023 is GNV.



In 2026, the cost of a ferry from Spain to Morocco varies based on the route and the presence of a vehicle, but a standard foot passenger ticket typically ranges from $35 to $60 (€32–€55) for a one-way crossing. The most popular and cheapest route is from Algeciras to Tangier Med, where round-trip prices for two passengers with a car average around $260. If you are looking for speed, the high-speed ferry from Tarifa to Tangier Ville takes only 60 minutes but often carries a slight premium. For long-haul routes like Barcelona to Tangier Med (a 30+ hour journey), prices can jump to over $600 if you book a private cabin. Operators like Balearia and FRS often offer "Early Bird" discounts, so booking at least 30 days in advance in 2026 is the best way to secure the lowest rates during the busy summer "Passage of the Strait" season.
