Grandi Navi Veloci is the sole operator for this international route across the western Mediterranean Sea. The distance covered is substantial, requiring a significant amount of time at sea.

All GNV ships have facilities for drivers and passengers undertaking the multi-day crossing.

About Barcelona
Ask anyone what sails from Barcelona and the answer is the Balearics. Our timetable says otherwise: the busiest link out of this port is Tanger Med in Morocco, with more sailings than Ibiza, Menorca and Mallorca have between them. Barcelona is one of very few ports that reaches three coastlines — Spanish islands, Italy and North Africa — and the traffic is not distributed the way the brochures suggest.
