Oran to Alicante Ferry: Operators, Season, Car and Documents
With Balearia
To get from Oran to Alicante by ferry, the route is run by Nouris Elbahr Ferries and, sometimes, Algérie Ferries, and I Love Ferry does not sell either of them. Baleà ria sold it for a few months one previous summer and no longer runs it.
There is no departure every day or all year round, and you cannot book it with I Love Ferry. See below the Baleà ria alternatives that we do sell.
If you travel with an Algerian passport or dual nationality, it is wise to carry a return ticket and, when entering Spain, to check that you have a Schengen visa or a valid residence permit: the ferry company may refuse you boarding.
From Algeria with Baleà ria: Oran–Valencia, Oran–AlmerÃa, Ghazaouet–AlmerÃa, Algiers–Valencia and Algiers–Barcelona.

Indicative schedules and subject to variation by the ferry company for operational reasons without prior notice.
Who runs the Oran Alicante ferry
This route is run by Nouris Elbahr Ferries and, sometimes, Algérie Ferries. The operator and the calendar change from one season to the next.
I Love Ferry does not sell either Nouris Elbahr Ferries or Algérie Ferries, so you cannot book this route here. Baleà ria sold it for a few months one previous summer and no longer runs it.
With Baleà ria, which we do have on the platform, you can go to Algeria from Valencia (to Oran and to Algiers), from AlmerÃa (to Oran and to Ghazaouet) and from Barcelona (to Algiers); the links are in the alternatives section. GNV sails to Algeria only from Sète and Civitavecchia: it has no route from Spain.
The conditions for changes, luggage, pets, cars and services on board for Nouris Elbahr Ferries and Algérie Ferries are set by each ferry company on its website.
Oran to Alicante ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest we have recently found for an adult in a seat. It changes with:
- The accommodation: seat or cabin, depending on what the departure offers.
- The car: it is paid separately, according to its size. Enter the type, make and model when you search.
- The date: summer and the return from holidays are the dates with the most demand.
Children, minors and discounts
Children and babies have their own fare: enter the age of each traveller when you search and the price is calculated automatically. Resident and large family discounts are for Spanish domestic routes and do not apply here.
Algerian minors: Algeria requires parental authorisation and that they leave the country with an Algerian passport. All minors need their own passport.
Oran to Alicante ferry with a car
Depending on the departure you can take your car: enter the vehicle when you search and check that the departure accepts it. The cut-off time for presenting yourself with a car is on your ticket.
What ferry companies usually ask for to board a car in Algeria
- Carte grise in your name and valid. No car is boarded with a provisional plate or with a struck-through carte grise ("barrée").
- If the car is not yours: an original written authorisation, signed by the owner and by the person transporting it, and stamped by a notary, town hall or public body, with a copy of both people's identity document or passport.
- Car insurance and driving licence.
- More than three items per passenger, or any goods: it is advisable to declare them with an export DUA. Anything that is not strictly personal luggage is considered commercial goods.
In summer, the Algerian Ministry of Transport has banned boarding in Oran export cars that are new or less than three years old, and vans and vehicles with more than seven seats used for goods. That restriction is published every summer: ask us before booking whether it is still in force.
Fuel tax when leaving Algeria
Cars leaving Algeria pay the TCC (fuel consumption tax), which is set by the Algerian State. Whether it is included in the ticket or paid at the port depends on the ferry company of your departure: confirm it when you book.
Travelling from Oran to Alicante with a dog
Whether you can take your dog and how depends on the ferry company of your departure: ask before booking. To travel between Algeria and Spain you need a passport or zoosanitary certificate, microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and, depending on the country of origin, a rabies antibody test done at least three months before the trip. If any requirement is missing, the health authorities may deny entry and propose quarantine, return or euthanasia of the animal. More information in travelling by ferry with a dog.
Ports of Oran and Alicante
Port of Orán
How to get to the port of Oran
The ferry sails from the port of Oran, in the city. Algerian ports publish opening hours for the premises that change between winter and summer, and in summer departures from Algeria require you to present yourself many hours in advance. Check the exact lead time on your ticket before leaving home.
Arriving in Alicante: port and onward travel
You arrive at the port of Alicante, next to the city centre. Confirm the exact terminal on your ticket. On disembarking you go through passport control. With a car, you head for the motorway to Valencia, Murcia or Madrid.
Documents: Algerian passport, dual nationality and visa
The crossing is international: all passengers need a passport, and ferry companies serving Algeria usually require a return ticket. In practice it depends on your nationality.
If you have an Algerian passport
- To leave Algeria, one of these is accepted: an Algerian passport; a passport from another country together with an expired Algerian passport; or an Algerian biometric identity card. Without any of them, a laissez-passer from the Algerian consulate is needed.
- To enter Spain you need a Schengen visa or a valid residence permit in an EU country. The ferry company may check your authorisation with the European platform before boarding and may not let you on.
- Since the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) came into force, your data and biometrics are recorded on entry.
If you have dual nationality
Algeria considers dual nationals to be fully Algerian: you enter and leave Algeria with your Algerian passport. To enter Spain you can use your Spanish or other EU passport.
If you are Spanish or another European citizen
You need an Algerian visa, which is not issued at the border: apply at least four weeks before at the Algerian consulate or embassy. The DNI is not valid.
I Love Ferry tips for the Oran Alicante ferry
- We do not sell it, look at another departure. It is run by Nouris Elbahr Ferries and, sometimes, Algérie Ferries, which we do not have on the platform: to come back from Algeria try Oran, Ghazaouet or Algiers with Baleà ria.
- Book the outward and return trips at the same time. Ferry companies serving Algeria usually require a return ticket, and the change conditions of the ferry company of your departure can be strict.
- Match the car to its papers. The carte grise must be in your name and not struck through; otherwise you do not board.
- Carry your visa or residence card on paper. If your authorisation is not validated before boarding, they can deny you access to the ship and there is no refund for inadequate documents.
- Leave a mobile number you use. If there are changes or cancellations, the ferry company will let you know that way: check with it how it handles changes.
