• The sea can get a bit choppy, so if you are sensitive to the waves, consider taking seasickness medication before the trip. As always, you can discuss your options with your pharmacist or doctor.
• If you’re traveling on a high-speed ferry and want a smoother ride, opt for seats in the middle of the vessel, where motion is usually less noticeable than at the bow or stern.

Best time to book

Booking early can make a big difference in price, choice, and peace of mind, especially if you are planning a trip during the high season.

When to book for the summer

Aim to book in late winter to early spring, ideally March-April if you are traveling to Mallorca in June, July, and August. This is the peak season in the Balearics, so ferries to Alcúdia fill up quickly, especially if you’re bringing a vehicle or travelling with pets.

When to book for the rest of the year

For trips in the shoulder seasons, namely April/May and September/October, prices tend to be lower than in the summer, and booking 6-8 weeks ahead is usually enough.

From autumn to spring (outside of major holidays such as Christmas and Easter), there are usually fewer crossings, but if your travel dates are flexible, you can often find tickets a few weeks before departure.
