Ferries to Morocco: 13 Ferry Crossings from 13 Ports

If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, why not consider a trip to Morocco? From the sprawling sand dunes of the Sahara to the bustling markets of Marrakech, this North African country is a feast for the senses. And the best way to get there? Ferries, of course!

Ferries to Morocco run from a variety of ports in southern Europe, including Spain, France, and Italy. With a bit of planning, you can easily catch a ferry from your starting point to one of the ports in northern Morocco, such as Tangier, Ceuta, or Melilla. From there, the rest of the country is within easy reach.

One of the biggest advantages of taking a ferry to Morocco is the cost. Especially if you’re coming from southern Spain, taking a ferry can be much cheaper than flying. And once you’re on the ferry, there are plenty of amenities to keep you comfortable, including restaurants, bars, and even (sometimes) swimming pools.

But the real magic of a ferry trip to Morocco is the sense of adventure it provides. As you sail across the Strait of Gibraltar, you’ll be crossing one of the most historically significant bodies of water in the world. You’ll pass by the Rock of Gibraltar, a British enclave on the southern coast of Spain, and slowly emerge in the landscape of North Africa. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

Once you arrive in Morocco, the excitement only continues. Depending on where your ferry arrives, you could be close to some of the country’s most famous landmarks. Tangier, for example, is just a short drive from the blue-washed city of Chefchaouen, one of Morocco’s most photogenic destinations. And Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the northern coast of Morocco, is just a stone’s throw from the Rif Mountains, an area known for its scenic hiking trails.

Of course, getting around Morocco can be a challenge. But the country’s extensive network of buses and trains makes it easy to explore. And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can rent a car and hit the open road.
