Almería–Oran Ferry: Cheap Tickets with Baleària

The best deals on boat travel from Almería to Oran
Traveling to Algeria from Spain by ferry is easy thanks to the Almería–Oran route, which connects Andalusia with northwestern Algeria. Starting in 2026, the route will be operated by Baleària, which has taken over from Armas Trasmediterránea on this line.
The ferry from Almería to Oran typically has one weekly departure, and the journey takes about 11 hours. Spots for traveling with a car sell out quickly—especially in the summer, during “Operación Paso del Estrecho,” and on major holidays—so it’s best to book as far in advance as possible.
At Clickferry, you’ll find the cheapest Almería–Oran ferry tickets, with a final price and no hidden fees.
Important: Authorities recommend purchasing your ticket online and arriving at the port with your ticket already confirmed.
Oran is a port city located in northwestern Algeria on the Mediterranean Sea; it is also the second-largest and second-most important city in Algeria, after Algiers. It has a population of 1.5 million. Algeria has ferry connections to Almería and Alicante.
