About the Dénia – Palma crossing
Travelling by sea from Dénia to Palma de Mallorca links the Costa Blanca coast of Alicante province with the capital of the Balearic Islands. Unlike the short hop to Ibiza, this is a longer inter-island itinerary: most sailings are not direct but call at Ibiza on the way, connecting the two largest Balearic islands in a single ticket.
How the routing works
The service is operated by Baleària, typically using the fast ferry Eleanor Roosevelt, which follows a Dénia–Ibiza–Palma rotation. Because the ship stops at Eivissa to exchange passengers and vehicles before continuing to Mallorca, total journey time from Dénia to Palma runs to roughly 5 hours or a little more, made up of about two hours to Ibiza, the port call, and a further leg of similar length across to Palma.
What to expect on board
The Eleanor Roosevelt is a modern LNG-powered high-speed vessel with capacity for well over a thousand passengers and hundreds of vehicles, so cars, motorbikes and campervans travel alongside foot passengers. The longer duration is offset by comfortable seating areas, onboard catering and Wi-Fi, and the smart-ship features Baleària is known for, including WhatsApp boarding information. For many travellers the Ibiza stop is a bonus rather than a drawback, since it makes island-hopping possible on one crossing.
Ports and planning
Sailings depart the port of Dénia, well placed for Valencia and the Alicante coast, and arrive at the port of Palma, within easy reach of the city centre and Mallorca's road network. Frequencies are heaviest in the summer season and thinner in winter, when a stop in Ibiza is almost always part of the schedule. If you specifically want the shortest possible time to Mallorca, compare departure times carefully, and always book vehicle space well ahead for July and August.
