Comparing ferry times to Spain
The timetables above show the main ferry times to Spain from the UK and Ireland. Compare the departure time, arrival time and total crossing duration before choosing a route. A sailing that leaves later may still arrive at a more useful time, depending on the route and the arrival port.
Some Spain ferry routes are overnight crossings, while others can take more than one night on board. Always check the day of departure and the day of arrival, especially on longer crossings to Santander or Bilbao.
What to check in the timetable
- Departure time: the local time at the departure port.
- Arrival time: the local time in Spain.
- Crossing duration: the total time at sea, which can vary by sailing.
- Sailing day: some routes only run on selected days of the week.
- Check-in time: arrive at the port before the operator’s latest check-in time.
For longer crossings, look at the arrival time as carefully as the departure time. An early arrival in Spain can be useful if you have a long onward drive, while an evening arrival may suit travellers staying near the port.
