This route runs in partnership between Baleària and Fred. Olsen, using the Visborg or Regina Báltica.

How long is the ferry from Algiers to Valencia?
About 15 hours 30 minutes, slightly longer than the approximately 14 hours quoted for the outbound Valencia-Algiers leg, which is typical for return sailings that differ slightly in routing and conditions.

Departure and arrival ports
Ferries depart from the Port of Algiers and arrive at the Port of Valencia. Bring a valid passport for this international crossing.
When to book your Algiers to Valencia ferry
Book well ahead given the weekly frequency, especially around Algerian and Spanish holiday periods when demand rises. If you're bringing a vehicle registered for export, start the cargo validation process even earlier, since it requires separate approval before your booking is finalised.
Travel tip: the weekly sailing day changes with the month
Unlike the outbound Valencia-Algiers leg (a fixed Friday departure), this direction's weekly sailing runs on either Tuesday or Friday depending on the month, always check the live schedule for your specific travel date rather than assuming a fixed weekday.
