"Best Ferry Service in Europe"
I have spent alot of time travelling Europe during 2022 and have used the Ferry's to Island Hop through Greece and now Spain. My experience from Denia to Formentera was outstanding the process was simple and professional (no running with masses of people with luggage) The seating was comfortable, quite and clean despite not speaking Spanish the staff onboard were really helpful with keeping us informed. 10/10 Service would travel this way again. :)
"Comfortable but 1.5hr delay"
The ferry was supposed to depart at noon. Only shortly before departure, boarding started. We left 40min late. The total duration was supposed to take 2hrs but we arrived 1hr and almost 30minutes later. Seats were comfortable.
"Definite room for improvement! "
60 minute check-in for foot passengers seems rather excessive, especially as this was not an international journey. The journey time was almost double the 75 minutes advertised but this was not announced or explained ( unless this was the one announcementn not given in English); I'm guessing it was because of the weather conditions but we were not told. The bus which was supposed to connect with the town centre had already left by the time I got to the exit. (It was a VERY long walk from boat to exit,and I was given no help despite walking with a crutch. Odd that a video of the Verdi Requiem was being shown only in the children's play area! The rest of us had The Jungle Book: maybe somebody got confused!
"Expensive day trip"
Boat on time Clean Staff friendly Confusion at formentera over which boat it was Food options poor No I quiet area Very expensive
"Another good trip with Balearia"
The ferry was bang on time both ways. Friendly staff on a clean ship.
"Poor Communication "
Boat on the way out was good and knew it would be a long trip 3.5hrs. On the way back we booked the fast ferry 2.0hrs however when we got to the port we were informed that the boat had been cancelled by 1.5hrs and it was not the fast ferry, so overall we had to add 3.5hrs to our journey. The biggest disappointment of all we did not receive any communication informing us of the change
"Denia to Formentera and return."
A comfortable experience. We travelled standard class but there is an option to upgrade. Only one word of caution, we arrived back to Denia at 11:30 pm expecting to find a taxi outside. Seemingly it is too early in the season for this to be guaranteed. Not speaking Spanish trying to order one was tricky. Our thanks to a helpful stranger.
"Ferry cancelled twice without correct information"
To go from Mallorca to Menorca the boat was cancelled twice. Only the first time I was informed by phone; the second time I haven't been informed. We had to make extra costs (an extra night in a hotel) and our holiday in Menorca has been delayed.
"Denia to Formentera "
I could not fault the service in any way. I took my car and the loading on and off was done really quickly the ferry left right on time and the facilities on board were good. Next time I'll go as a foot passenger and hire a car or bike as taking a car across is very pricey
"The out of date boat "
Fast Ferry i would say slow ferry. Said 1.15 crossing more like 1.45 to 2 hour crossing. Old boat and one was not allowed on deck while crossing because not enough staff. From that experience I will try next time the trans med Katamaran boat.
"Easy crossing"
The ferry crossing left sharp on outward and inward journeys, a few minutes early to be precise. The crossing was smooth. The ferry was clean and had catering services and a shop on board. Plenty of choice for food and drink which was prepared and served well. We were satisfied with the catering. The seating was comfortable and the film that played was just the right length for the crossing. My husband was not near enough the screen to watch, so if interested choose seats carefully. The return trip was quiet and we were not allowed to sit upstairs which we had looked forward to for the view as upstairs was full up on the trip over which was the only disappointment. Embarking and disembarking was efficient and luggage even on the full trip over was stowed and easy to retrieve. Toilets were clean.
"Very good ferry service."
This ferry route was the perfect option for us as we wanted to drive to Spain from the UK over a few days, then cross over to Ibiza for 10 days. The boats are in good condition and both crossings were punctual. We chose the Neptune lounge as an upgrade for seating which was very worthwhile given the reclining chairs. All in all, a very good experience.
"Trip to Formntera"
Excellent trip Fast and on time . Friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone.
"Denia to Ibiza"
No problems with this ferry. Left port on time and arrived on time. Comfortable seating.
"Friendly Staff and Good Ship"
Very welcoming staff on a clean ship. Recommended.
"Good service"
The ferry was clean and well maintained, and the crew were very polite and helpful. Not much of a difference between first class cabin and standard though.
"Ferry Trip from Denia to Ibiza and back"
We have travelled on the ferry on several occasion from Denia to Ibiza and back. We had an excellent crossing. The Ferry was clean and all of the Staff were very friendly. The food selection on board was good. There was a film to watch and on the return journey, as it was close to Christmas there was a magician and a Father Christmas. The boarding of our Car was good. We were very happy with the Ferry and will re-book again in 2016
"Good journey with children and car"
All went fairly smoothly. Minor issues managing children as passengers needed to board separately to car & driver, but wasn't too difficult and all other aspects of the journey were well managed and pleasant.
"Denia to Formentera"
It was very easy to book this trip with direct ferries. The ferry was on time and the trip was comfortable. The only criticism I have was the air conditioning on the return journey made the temperature very cold on the ferry. Will definitely use direct ferries again.
"Denia-Formentera "
Really comfortable from Denia to Formentera and return same day with the fast ferries of Balearia
"Formentera trip"
Both journeys were on time. I think the fares are too high considering the crossing duration. Comparing this service with the ferry to Sardinia, that offers more comfort, the prices are more than double. Unfortunately, if you wish to travel with your car to Formentera, there are no alternatives.
"Denja Ibiza"
Comfortable seats, nice trip. Slept the whole way.
"1st visit to Ibiza in 20 years!"
All good - except the fact that only one person is allowed in the car when boarding. Have travelled on many ferries and this is the first time it has happened. Otherwise, as I said all good. Will be doing it again, as our son is now living in Ibiza. Kind regards Wendy
"Ferry to Ibiza"
The trip went well.
"Crossing Ibiza-Palma"
Excellent trip.
"Traveling with Balearia"
We had a nice trip even though the weather was quite windy which made the ride a little difficult fir the ones with sensitive stomach. However, the staff did their jib well and took care over the people thatneeded their help.
"return trip Denia-Formentera"
On time, friendly staff, comfortable
"travel from denia to formentera"
a very comfortable travel, fast and well organized ferry , it was a shame the low quality of the service.
"Trip to Ibiza"
Good prices, comfortable.
"DENIA-FORMENTERA JUNE 2014"
very competent and agreeable crew. In the trip of return of 21-24h it was exceeding the functioning of the television since there are no individual earphones.
"A GREAT SERVICE "
A GREAT SERVICE, A CHEAPER PRICE THAN WHEN BOOKING DIRECTLY WITH BALEARIA, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOADING OF THE TRAILER, BUT IT WAS RESOLVED VERY WELL WITH THE SPANISH COMPANY “BALEARIA” WHICH MODIFIED THE CROSSING WITH ANY ADDITIONAL FEE. I REALLY RECOMMEND DIRECTFERRIES.IT
"Very efficient but ..."
On a recent trip to Ibiza I couldn't get any direct flights later than 6:15am. I don't do early morning flights but discovered that I could get a 10:15 flight to Palma and then take a ferry from there to Ibiza. This looked like a perfect solution, as I love being on ships and a three hour sail across the sunny Med sounded just the ticket. The booking with Direct Ferries was simple and efficient, and I had plenty of time to get to the ferry terminal from Palma airport. It was a glorious, sunny day and I was really looking forward to the trip. But my salty old mariner's heat sank when I saw the ferry moored up - it looked to be entirely enclosed. As I walked along the side to the boarding point this suspicion became a virtual certainty. So as soon as I arrived on board I immediately looked for an exit to the deck. There were none in the main part of the ship, but to my huge relief I noticed there was an exit to the stern out of the bar. I was therefore happy again as I stood looking over the side of the ship with a few fellow fresh air enthusiasts (or more likely smokers!)supping my can of Mahou. The engines roared, the ferry started to move - and then one of the crew politely instructed us all to go back inside! We trooped glumly back in, and any hope of a sneaky escape ended when said crew member fastened the exit door with a lock like something out of Fort Knox. I spent the rest of the trip sadly peering out at the beautiful scenery. To be fair, the trip itself was fine. The ferry left and arrived on time, the crew were pleasant, the ship was comfortable and the whole experience really couldn't be faulted as a `transportation experience'. And I've no doubt most of the people on board had no desire at all to leave the interior and were more than happy to be isolated from the great outdoors. But for someone like me who loves being out on the deck of a boat it was a huge disappointment, and I won't be making the same mistake again. So although I've ticked the box to say I'd recommend this ship to a friend I'd add the important caveat - "but only if you don't enjoy being out on the deck".
"Crossing"
We were unable to go to Ibiza due to a death. During a phone call with Directferries we were told that they couldn't do anything for us. If only they had offered a small compensation. I think this is very bad and will never book with this company again.
"Algeciras to Ceuta return"
We were on our way to Morocco. I would recommend going to Tanger to enter Morocco. It took 90 minutes to cross the border going to Morocco but less than 30 minutes coming back. I found the Algeciras terminal confusing to get to and a long walk from the parking garage. We left our car in the garage which is clean and safe although expensive. It may be better going to Tanger from Tarifa although I have no experience there.
"denia/ ibiza"
This 2h30 crossing was very pleasant. Avoid their sandwich though. The staff is very pleasant and the boat is clean. I recommend it.
"Menorca Car "
The outward journey on the Martin i Soler was very nice. You could sit outside and enjoy it really. Downhill very punctual, 5 minutes ahead of time. Return to the Ramon Llull was a little less spectacular, because you could not get out. And inside was the air conditioning full pot, so that we have properly frozen.
"It was okay"
The ferry was on time, the workers were helpful and nice. I had a three bags and they helped me with them off and on when they saw I was struggling. That was cool of them since there is no where it says they have to offer assistance.
"Very pleasant journey "
Both ways to Denia and Formentera were very pleasant, The staff was very puntual and attentive.
"My impression after the crossing"
Staying in a cabin for 4 hours for a short journey is not very pleasant. The animated movies are not very good. The portholes were dirty. I would rather have travelled on a boat with an open deck to breath the air of the sea.
"Dog and overnight trip "
I did not know that my toy poodle had to be included for the entire crossing in a box on the bow, to which I then had no access. I do not know if I would recommend this other dog owners. Otherwise, the staff was friendly.
"Trip Ibiza/Valencia "
All good, clean and pleasant. I recommend it
"Comfortable and pleasent journey "
It was the first time we travelled by boat and I get sick very easily in the car. So, I was very scared of getting sea sick in the ship but it didnt happen. The trip went really fast and didn't feel bad at all. The seats were very comfortable and spacious. The only thing I would say is that there was no ramp for the luggage, only stairs.
""
You need to come at least one hour and a half before departure if you travel by car. The organisation and the logistics before departure need to be revewed to gain some time. Moreover, the waiting conditions are minimal (especially in Valencia)
"Valencia/SAN ANTONI crossing and return"
Nothing to report
"Great Trip"
Very punctual (of course - weather permitting). Great service.
"Ramon Hull ferry"
I had the occasion to use this service twice and in both cases I found it really efficient, very fast embarking/disembarking procedure and the members of the staff really professional.
"Ok but to sleep not to think ... "
Who can should always be 17 clock ferry company (if it is not just canceled again ...). In the chairs do not care not to think in the class to sleep, as they are in the same room with the cafeteria ... Otherwise, zero comfort but OK
"Valencia- San Antonio "
The trip was as we'd expected. Without a hitch. I thought the sandwich was expensive though (€5 tuna and tomato). However, the terminal in Valencia was too far away and you can only go by car or taxi. There is no way you can walk 3km by foot in the middle of nowhere with your bags.
"My experience from travelling with you"
Very good comfort on board. But; Why do you show movies so late in the evenings, when so many just want to rest? And why was the volume so high? We couldn't hear the information from the speakers. Apart from that everything was fantastic!
"Ramon Llull "
Everything worked out, but we were in Denia when picking up the tickets for the return transferred from the fast ferry (2.5 hours) on a normal ferry (4.0 hours), which, however, also 4 hours earlier (by 17 clock instead 21 clock) from San Antonio drove back again. That was very annoying ... to a cozy island stay was not to think. It also had to be back in 1 hours before the ship. At 15.30 clock, we were notified via telephone that the fast ferry would still go. However, we were then again in San Antonio back and did not feel like staying there for us for hours in the heat of the city. Too bad ..... The Ramon Llull fast ferry was the best equipped in everything you at the rather outdated " normal " Ferry can not say (anything old, dark ... not nice). My review refers only to Ramon Llull.
"Ferry Crossing to Alcudia July 2013"
I think that if you have the time to do them, then taking a crossing from the mainland (Barcelona) to either Minorca or Mallorca is a must do, at least once. We made the trip out as part of our ongoing travel plans all the way from London down to Lisbon and across Spain first. Comfortable reclining seats, a buffet bar available for supplies at very reasonable prices, meant that we had all we need. On the fast ferry there is deck space at the rear of the craft for those who want to enjoy the climate, although space is limited and it s usually smokers who need to go out there. Probably our only gripe would be on our return trip the lounge TVs were playing at loud volume featuring morning TV with intrusive jingles and kiddy cartoons. The outbound journey had muted sound which was much more chilled and appropriate.
"barcelona - menorca mallorca-and back "
Thank you
"Punctuality should be improved "
Everything was good except the punctuality. It was worse to go than to come back, but the 10/15 minutes delay were unavoidable .
"Very pleasant crossing "
On time, clean, competent
"On time, clean, properly "
This trip was booked in advance on the internet. It had everything worked perfectly. It was noticeable that ultimately reassuring control (passport and luggage) before boarding the ship and the clear presence of Guardi Civil aboard. That is probably the reason for the presence as only ," pedestrian "," 60 minutes before departure. "
"Holiday"
Sailings were on time, everything was very smooth except for the checking in procedure at Denia. Lord help them if there was a rush!
"crossing "
Everything went flawlessly
"Baleares Trip"
Hello. We had a nice trip on the Balearia ferry.
"Arrival at Ciutadella"
Short 90 minute trip, quite expensive for distance/time. Access at the Port Alcudia end was easy. Arrived in Ciutadella at new ferry terminal (I was unaware of this, thought I would be arriving in town) only to see the service/public transport bus driving off. Getting luggage off the seating deck was down narrow stairs which was not easy - their appeared to be no lift/elevator. The walk from the ferry/catamaran was quite a way especially with luggage and though elderly travellers did seem to have the option a big golf buggy type transport, this was not made clear and they had to struggle with their cases. THE MAIN PROBLEM - no public transport in to town. Why on earth doesn't the bus that was there at 17:30 wait for passengers to disembark and then take them into town (the norm at most ferry ports). The terminal seems to have been designed by a young person with a car. The system could easily be changed and improved, with a bit of thought. Hope this is of help.
"Hard work getting onboard"
Yes, I have used Directferries/Baleria for my journey between Mallorca and Menorca. Excellent service, efficient, punctual. I found only an inconvenience, but I was very unpleasant: leg while on the outbound I climbed on the ship without any problem on the treadmill, on the return boarding (Minorca -> Mallorca) I was travelling with very heavy suitcase and backpack , so I had to carry on alone along the narrow staircase and full of people, even though I had asked for help or alternatives to the hostess and under the eyes of all. They were kind and compassionate (and rightly so) with people with children and their strollers, they stationed apart and the staff brought them out later. Why don’t they do the same with people travelling with very heavy load? If not as a rule, like common sense, kindness and respect for the traveller.
"Great trip"
Great trip on time staff were a pleasure, prices on board were great. I will do it again. The staff at the terminal were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again to all the staff for making our trip so pleasant thanks again.
"Trip to Menorca"
The crossing is quite expensive, but on board experience is generally satisfactory.
"Like sitting in a rocking chair!"
Traveling in the Ramon Lull is like traveling in a rocking chair. I’ve travelled twice in this fast ferry, always in the summer season, with a calm sea. Nevertheless, this time the Ramon Lull kept rocking as if it was sailing in a storm.
