About the Ibiza – Palma crossing
The Ibiza to Palma de Mallorca crossing is an inter-island hop that links the two largest islands of Spain's Balearic archipelago. It is operated by Baleària, and on this corridor the star of the fleet is the Eleanor Roosevelt, a high-speed catamaran that entered service as the world's first LNG-powered fast ferry. The crossing takes roughly 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes, a fraction of the time a conventional ferry would need, making the two islands easily connectable in a single day.
Schedule and frequency
Baleària runs this route year-round, with up to three sailings per day in the peak summer season and a reduced timetable in winter. Because the two islands are popular with both residents and tourists island-hopping through the Balearics, sailings can fill quickly in July and August, so advance booking is recommended in high season.
The Eleanor Roosevelt
Built at a reported cost of around 90 million euros, the Eleanor Roosevelt is 123 metres long and can carry 1,200 passengers along with up to 450 cars (or a mix of cars and freight). It cruises at about 35 knots, with a top speed above 40 knots. Onboard you will find:
- Reclining seats and lounge areas across multiple classes
- A cafeteria and self-service dining
- Free Wi-Fi and smart-ship connected services
- Space for pets and generous luggage allowances
Ports
Departures leave from the Port of Ibiza (Eivissa), close to the old town of Dalt Vila, and arrive at the Port of Palma on Mallorca, a short distance from the city centre and the Bay of Palma. Both terminals handle vehicle loading, so this is a practical option for travellers bringing a car between the islands.
