The best time to book your ferry tickets to Mallorca depends on your travel dates and how flexible you can be.

For trips during the peak summer season (June to August), it’s best to book your tickets at least 2 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling with a car, to secure your spot and avoid last-minute stress.

If you’re planning to visit in the off-peak seasons, you can afford to book your Mallorca ferry tickets closer to your date of departure. Keep in mind though, that some routes are seasonal and there are fewer daily crossings during the off-peak months, so you may need to be more flexible.
