Why travel by ferry from Tarifa to Tangier?

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

Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Tarifa to Tangier by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
The health benefits of the sea have long been proven. During the Tarifa-Tangier crossing, access the outside areas of the FRS Iberia or Inter Shipping ship to take a deep breath of air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Tangier feeling perfectly zen and energised.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Tangier or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. During the Tarifa Tangier ferry journey with Inter Shipping or FRS Iberia, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!
