Where it leaves from
Ferries for Mallorca depart from the port of Dénia, a coastal town on the Costa Blanca roughly 100 km south of Valencia. The terminal is well-signposted, with parking available for vehicles joining the crossing. On arrival, services dock at the Port de Palma — Mallorca's main ferry terminal in the heart of the island capital.
The crossing
The Dénia–Palma route is a conventional overnight-style ferry crossing, taking approximately 7 to 8 hours. The service is operated by Baleària and runs several times per week during the summer season, with a reduced schedule outside peak months. Unlike the shorter crossings to Ibiza or Formentera, there is no high-speed option on this route — the distance and ferry type mean a leisurely crossing that suits travellers with a car or a lot of luggage.
Operators
Baleària is the sole scheduled operator on this route. The company's ferries are roll-on, roll-off vessels suited to families and travellers bringing vehicles to the island. On-board amenities typically include a cafeteria and cabin options on longer sailings, making the crossing comfortable even at night.
Booking tips
Car space on Mallorca ferries sells out early, particularly for July and August sailings. Foot passengers have more flexibility, but reserving ahead is still advisable at peak times. Baleària sailings can be compared and booked through Direct Ferries alongside other Balearic routes, so you can plan connections to Menorca or Ibiza in the same booking session if needed.
