The Spanish maritime company Baleària has announced the launch of two new ferry lines between Spain and Algeria. The new lines connect the Spanish port of Almería with the Algerian cities of Oran and Ghazaouet. This expansion brings the total number of lines operated by Baleària between the two countries to seven. The new routes became operational on November 15, 2026.
The new lines from Almería offer travelers more options for traveling to Algeria by sea. Previously, Baleària operated lines from the Spanish ports of Valencia and Barcelona to several Algerian destinations, including Algiers, Oran, and Mostaganem. With the addition of the two new lines, travelers now have three Spanish ports to choose from. Baleària aims to provide more possibilities for travelers wishing to travel to Algeria by sea.
Reservations for the Almería – Oran and Almería – Ghazaouet routes are now open on Baleària's website. Tickets are available for travel scheduled until January 29, 2027. The company will open reservations for the summer season later. Baleària is offering promotional fares starting from 200 euros for the two new lines, including vehicles. Other routes between Spain and Algeria are also subject to promotional offers.
The fares for other routes have been announced, with the Valencia – Mostaganem route starting at 230 euros, and the Valencia – Oran route starting at 218 euros. The Valencia – Algiers route starts at 205 euros, while the Barcelona – Algiers route starts at 235 euros. These offers are part of Baleària's effort to provide competitive pricing for travelers.
With the new routes, Baleària's schedule now includes seven maritime connections between Spain and Algeria: Valencia – Mostaganem, Valencia – Alger, Valencia – Oran, Barcelona – Alger, Barcelona – Oran, Almería – Ghazaouet, and Almería – Oran. This expansion enables the company to cover more Algerian destinations and offer new departure options for travelers from southern Spain.
The new lines from Almería will likely boost tourism and trade between Spain and Algeria. Algeria is a key market for Spanish exports, and the increased connectivity will facilitate the exchange of goods and services between the two countries. The routes will also provide more options for Algerian travelers wishing to visit Spain.
Baleària's expansion plans demonstrate its commitment to providing efficient and reliable maritime services between Spain and Algeria. The company's growth strategy focuses on offering a wider range of routes and services to meet the increasing demand for travel and trade between the two countries.
