Mallorca to Menorca Ferry: Alcudia, Ciutadella, Palma and Mahón
With Balearia · 8 to 10 weekly departures · 7:45 hours - 8:30 hours
To get from Mallorca to Menorca by ferry, the most used route is Alcudia–Ciutadella: it leaves from the north of Mallorca and arrives in the west of Menorca, with Baleà ria and with Menorca Lines. It is the shortest crossing between the two islands.

Balearic Islands residents get a 75% discount on the passenger ticket, not on the car. You can travel on foot, with a car or with a dog.
Each route has its own page, with timetables, conditions and port tips.
