Mostaganem to Valencia Ferry: Baleà ria, Car and Documents
With Balearia · 1 to 3 sailings weekly · 13 hours - 15 hours
The ferry from Mostaganem to Valencia is run by Baleà ria. It leaves the port of Mostaganem, in northern Algeria, and arrives at the Valencia Maritime Station (Estación MarÃtima) after an overnight crossing.
There is one departure a week in winter and up to three a week in summer. It leaves mid-afternoon and arrives the next morning; the timetable confirms the departure for your date.
If you hold an Algerian passport, bring a valid passport and, to return to Spain, your residence permit. Dual nationals enter Algeria as Algerians. With a Spanish passport you need a visa.
Cars have their own rules: ownership, a notarised authorisation if the owner is not driving, and summer restrictions.
