When is the best time to book Valencia - Ibiza ferry tickets

The Valencia - Ibiza route is one of the busiest in the Balearic Islands, especially during summer. To secure your preferred schedule and avoid last-minute price increases in the high season (June to September), we recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance.

For journeys during the shoulder months, namely April-May and October, booking 2-3 weeks ahead is usually enough. Keep in mind, though, that the ferries can get busy on long weekends and major holidays.

In the low season (November-March) ferries run less frequently, however demand is also lower so you can usually afford to book your ferry tickets even a few days before traveling.

Important: if you plan on traveling with a vehicle or booking a cabin for the trip, it is best to secure your tickets as early as possible, as spaces are limited and often sell out - especially in the summer.
