Why travel by ferry from Melilla to Almeria?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Melilla to Almeria ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Almeria. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Melilla to Almeria 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 Naviera Armas, Baleària or Acciona Trasmediterránea ferry in Melilla, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Almeria. However, it is worth asking the Naviera Armas, Baleària or Acciona Trasmediterránea staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Almeria.
No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You travel from Melilla to Almeria with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Almeria.
Enjoy a very attentive staff
Naviera Armas, Baleària or Acciona Trasmediterránea staff will be at your disposal from the moment the ship leaves Melilla until it leaves Almeria. They will orient you in the ship, guide you to your cabin, serve you in the restaurant and answer any questions you may have. An information desk is almost always located on the main deck of the ship.
