Travel from Algiers to Barcelona

This page covers the Algiers to Barcelona direction. Check the departure from Algiers specifically: the return timetable, vessel and intermediate calls can differ from those in the opposite direction.

Departing Algiers. Use the terminal named on your booking when arranging a transfer or planning the drive. Include time to reach check-in, and allow for disembarkation before committing to a bus, train or onward ferry.

On arrival in Barcelona. The port has several passenger terminal areas rather than a single universal check-in point. Always use the terminal and access instructions shown by the ferry company because walking distances across the commercial port can be substantial.

Use the dated timetable for the departure and arrival time. Do not calculate this direction from the outward crossing time: daylight, overnight and multi-stop sailings can have different durations.

Corridor context. Barcelona–Algiers is listed in Baleària’s Mediterranean network. The crossing links Catalonia with the Algerian capital.
