Valencia to Mostaganem Ferry: Baleà ria, Car and Documents
With Balearia · 1 to 3 sailings weekly · 13 hours - 15 hours
To get from Valencia to Mostaganem by ferry, the ferry company is Baleà ria. It leaves from the Valencia Maritime Terminal and reaches the port of Mostaganem after an overnight crossing, with at least one departure a week.
In summer there are up to three departures a week. It is one of the most used routes for taking a car to Algeria, but there is an important limitation: exporting cars and vans on this route will be banned from the start of next year.
Spanish citizens need an Algerian visa. Algerians travel with an Algerian passport or another accepted document, and dual nationals enter as Algerians.
GNV does not sail from Spain to Algeria; on this route only Baleà ria operates.

Who runs the Valencia to Mostaganem ferry
It is run by Baleà ria, which offers seats, cabins and a car deck on a conventional ship. In Mostaganem, Baleà ria publishes its own opening hours for the port area, and in summer check-in is earlier for departures from Algeria than from Valencia. Changes follow Algeria's policy: before the day of travel, only with a new fare.
Valencia to Mostaganem ferry price
The price above is the lowest recent one for an adult in a seat. It depends on the accommodation, the vehicle, the date (July and August are the busiest months) and whether it is one-way or return, which Baleà ria requires for travelling to Algeria. If you book in dinars, penalties are paid in dinars.
Children, minors and discounts
Children and infants have their own fare: enter their age when you search. Resident and large family discounts are national and do not apply. An Algerian minor needs parental authorisation and must leave with an Algerian passport.

Ports of Valencia and Mostaganem
How to get to the Valencia Maritime Terminal
It leaves from the Maritime Terminal at the Turia quay, with the metro and city buses nearby. By car, follow the signs for Algeria inside the port. For exporting a car, you need to arrive earlier than for a holiday car.
Arriving in Mostaganem: the port and onward travel
Mostaganem is on the Algerian coast, west of Algiers and close to Oran by road. On disembarking you go through police and customs control. If you carry more than three items of luggage or goods, declare them in line with Algerian regulations.
Documents: visa, Algerian passport and dual nationality
All passengers need a passport and a return ticket (Baleà ria requires it for Algeria).
If you are Spanish or another EU citizen
You need an Algerian visa, which is not issued at the border. Apply at least four weeks in advance and make sure it covers all the dates of the trip: Barcelona serves Catalonia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Navarre, the Basque Country, Cantabria and La Rioja; Alicante serves the Valencian Community, Andalusia, Murcia, Ceuta and Melilla; Madrid serves the rest. The DNI is not valid.
If you hold an Algerian passport and live in Spain
- To enter Algeria, Baleà ria accepts an Algerian passport; a passport from another country together with an expired Algerian passport; or a biometric Algerian identity card. If you have none of these, a laissez-passer from the Algerian consulate.
- Carry your valid Spanish residence permit. To return to Europe, Baleà ria checks with the European platform that you have a valid visa or authorisation and may refuse you boarding.
If you hold dual nationality
Algeria considers you fully Algerian: you enter and leave with your Algerian passport. Your Spanish consular assistance in Algeria is limited.
