Naviera Armas: Ferries & Tickets with Baleària

Founded in 1941, Naviera Armas was one of Spain's most established ferry companies, particularly known for its connections between the Canary Islands, mainland Spain and North Africa. In 2026, Baleària acquired many of its routes and assets, and its operations in the Canary Islands were brought under the Baleària Canarias brand.

What happened to Naviera Armas?

Following its integration with Trasmediterránea in 2018, Naviera Armas became one of Spain's leading ferry operators. However, in 2025, an agreement was announced for Baleària to acquire much of its operations. The acquisition was completed in 2026.

Since May 2026, Baleària has managed the former Armas Trasmediterránea operations in the Canary Islands under the Baleària Canarias brand. The company has also taken over certain services in the Strait of Gibraltar and the Alboran Sea.

Naviera Armas was one of the leading operators of ferry routes in the Canary Islands, connecting the islands with one another and with mainland Spain. It also operated crossings between Andalusia and North Africa.
