Why take a ferry from Tangier to Barcelona ?

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

Not to worry about the number of bags
With the train, bus or plane, a free baggage allowance is often applied and any additional baggage generates an additional cost. On the Tangier Barcelona 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 Barcelona. However, it is worth asking the Grimaldi Lines, Grandi Navi Veloci or La Meridionale staff if the ship has a luggage room where you can leave your luggage until Barcelona.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Tangier to Barcelona, 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. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
To get some sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Tangier-Barcelona crossing, access the outside of the Grimaldi Lines, Grandi Navi Veloci or La Meridionale ship to take a breath of fresh air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will instantly soothe you. You'll arrive in Barcelona perfectly zen and full of energy.
