Why travel by ferry from Almeria to Melilla?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Almeria to Melilla ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Melilla. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Almeria to Melilla is an ideal way to travel.

So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. However, when you board a Acciona Trasmediterránea, Naviera Armas or Baleària ferry in Almeria, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Melilla. However, it is worth asking the Acciona Trasmediterránea, Naviera Armas or Baleària staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Melilla.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
Generally speaking, to get to Melilla or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. On the other hand, during the Almeria Melilla crossing on the Baleària, Naviera Armas or Acciona Trasmediterránea ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. The services and the level of freedom during a flight are radically different!
To finally take the time to travel
It is well known that we live in a society where everything has to go fast, faster and faster. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a Acciona Trasmediterránea, Naviera Armas or Baleària ferry for the 110 mi between Almeria and Melilla will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... It is not impossible that you will feel that you have arrived in Melilla too quickly, as the experience is so pleasant!
