Why take a ferry from Barcelona to Tangier ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Barcelona to Tangier ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Tangier. Here are 3 reasons why we think Barcelona to Tangier ferry is an ideal way to travel.

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Barcelona to Tangier, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with bunks, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are just like real hotel rooms. If their use is more obvious during a night crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally, to get to Tangier or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Barcelona Tangier ferry trip with Grimaldi Lines or Grandi Navi Veloci, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
Not to worry about the number of bags
For other modes of transportation, we are often forced to carry only one suitcase, and each additional bag is charged. On the Barcelona Tangier ferry, you can take as much luggage as you want, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are traveling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements all the way to Tangier. However, it is worth asking the Grandi Navi Veloci or Grimaldi Lines staff if the ship has a luggage room where you can leave your luggage until Tangier.
