Valencia to Palma Ferry: Baleà ria, Trasmed and GNV, Overnight
With Balearia, Trasmed · 15 to 21 weekly departures · 6:45 hours - 10:00 hours
To get from Valencia to Palma de Mallorca by ferry there are three ferry companies: Baleà ria, Trasmed GLE and GNV. They sail overnight from the port of Valencia, each from its own terminal, and arrive at the port of Palma in the morning.
These are conventional ferries with cabins: you go to bed in Valencia and wake up in Mallorca. With Baleà ria, late disembarkation in your cabin lets you sleep a little longer on arrival.
Palma is the only port in Mallorca with a ferry from Valencia. If your accommodation is in the north of the island, the port of Alcudia receives the ships from Barcelona, not those from Valencia.
Residents of the Balearic Islands get a 75% discount on the passenger fare with all three ferry companies, but not on the car.
Valencia to Palma ferry timetable
Below you can see the departures for the date you choose, with ferry company, departure time and arrival time. In this direction they are all overnight: you board in the evening and arrive in Palma first thing in the morning. There is usually more than one departure a day to choose from, and more in summer and on long weekends.
Check the arrival time before you book: a ship that arrives very early leaves you at the port with the city asleep. If your accommodation does not let you in at that hour, Baleà ria's late disembarkation is the solution.
The return, from Palma to Valencia, is on the Palma Valencia ferry page, where there are also daytime departures.

How long does the ferry from Valencia to Palma take?
All night: these are conventional ferries designed for sleeping on board. You can see the exact duration of each departure in the timetable and in the information panel above, and the ship that sails it in the ships section. There are differences in time between the three ferry companies, but none of them is a daytime crossing.
Who runs the Valencia to Palma ferry: Baleà ria, Trasmed and GNV
- Baleà ria: standard, superior and VIP seats and double or quadruple cabins. Online check-in from 72 hours before in My Bookings, which on some ships lets you choose your seat. Notices by WhatsApp or SMS if the departure changes, and late disembarkation in your cabin on overnight sailings.
- Trasmed GLE (Grimaldi group): conventional ferries with cabins and a base in Valencia. No luggage weight limit; discounts for residents of the Balearic Islands, large families, military personnel and groups; pets in an adapted cabin, a seat or kennels.
- GNV: seat and cabin, up to two suitcases, a pet cabin with limited places, a resident fare and the myGNV Club. With a car you cannot stay on the car deck during the crossing.
Trasmed is the current brand of the former Trasmediterránea in the Balearic Islands.
Valencia to Palma ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest recent one for an adult without a car. Between the three ferry companies the difference can be large on the same day, so it pays to compare. These factors matter:
- The ferry company and the type of fare: with Baleà ria, the Mini fare allows two date changes without penalty but does not allow cancellations; the Reducida fare does, with a refund depending on how many days remain.
- The accommodation: seat or cabin.
- The date: July, August, Easter and long weekends cost more.
- The car, which is paid separately according to its dimensions. In summer book earlier: the car deck of each ship is limited.
Balearic resident discount
If you live in the Balearic Islands you get a 75% discount on the passenger ticket, with all three ferry companies. It does not apply to the car, the pet or extra services.
- Say that you are a resident in the search on iloveferry.com/ferris. In one booking, all passengers must be residents.
- Residence is validated with your DNI or NIE; if that fails, it is proved at the ticket office with the certificate of registration (empadronamiento).
- If you are a non-EU resident, Baleà ria asks for a residence certificate and a long-term or permanent residence permit.
Details in the Balearic resident discount guide.
Large family discount
On domestic routes, the Spanish large family card gives 20% (general) or 50% (special) off the passenger fare. It does not apply to the car. Bring the original valid card and the identity document of each traveller. Trasmed publishes a large family discount; with Baleà ria, the first time you prove it at the ticket office. More in the large family discount ferry guide.
Valencia to Palma ferry with a car
All three ferry companies carry cars, motorbikes, vans and motorhomes. Enter the type and the real dimensions when you book: what you declare must match your vehicle, or boarding is not guaranteed. There is no vehicle restriction in Mallorca, unlike Ibiza and Formentera.
The port of Valencia is a commercial port: vehicles that are not boarding cannot stay inside, and there are customs gates on entry. If someone is seeing you off, they should drop you off and leave. With GNV, take to the cabin whatever you need, because you cannot go back to the car deck. With Baleà ria, we recommend arriving about 90 minutes early with a car and 60 without one.
Valencia to Palma ferry with a dog
All three ferry companies accept dogs, with different rules:
- Baleà ria: pet friendly seat (up to 8 kg in a carrier), calm kennel or pet friendly cabin.
- GNV: pet cabin with limited places, or a kennel.
- Trasmed: adapted cabins, a seat (under 8 kg, in a carrier) and kennels.
On an overnight crossing, with a dog the most comfortable option is a cabin that accepts pets, and all three ferry companies offer one; think about it before choosing a ferry company. More in travelling by ferry with a dog.

Ports of Valencia and Palma (Mallorca)
Port of Palma de Mallorca
How to get to the port of Valencia: three terminals
The port of Valencia is separate from the city centre and each ferry company has its own terminal:
- Baleà ria: Maritime Terminal (Estació MarÃtima), on the Turia quay.
- Trasmed: passenger terminal on the Poniente quay.
- GNV: terminal on the Perfecto Palacio quay.
From the entrance to the Baleà ria terminal there is a fair stretch inside the port area: passengers without a car can go from the terminal to the ship on Baleà ria's bus. Confirm your terminal on your ticket, especially if someone is driving you.
Arriving at the port of Palma
The port of Palma is next to the city centre, on foot or by city bus, and the airport is a few kilometres away. The port has several terminals: check on your ticket where your ferry company berths. If your accommodation is in the north of the island, allow for a road journey to Alcudia, about 55 km, with no train.
Documents for travelling from Valencia to Palma
Domestic route: adults travel with a valid DNI, NIE or passport. GNV accepts children under 14 with the family record book. With a car, the vehicle registration document and insurance. With a resident or large family discount, the document that proves it.

- Check the arrival time. If it is very early, consider Baleà ria's late disembarkation.
- With a dog, look at the rules before the price. They vary a lot from one ferry company to another.
