About Palma De Mallorca Port (port)

The Port of Palma is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Mediterranean and the Balearics’ main ferry hub. It handles more than 800 cruise calls and around 2 million cruise passengers a year, plus year-round Trasmediterránea and Baleària ferries to Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Menorca and Mahón. The port stretches along Paseo Marítimo from the cathedral round to the Porto Pi terminals to the west.

The port spans roughly 4 km of waterfront, stretching from the cathedral and Royal Palace to the Porto Pi cruise terminals. Ferry operators carry a mix of foot passengers, cars and freight, with most overnight sailings to Barcelona and Valencia, and faster daytime sailings to Ibiza and Denia. Megayacht traffic is concentrated in the central marinas of Moll Vell and the Real Club Náutico.

Getting from Palma De Mallorca Port (port) to Palma de Mallorca

A pre-booked transfer from the port to a central Palma hotel takes around 10 minutes for cruise berths at Porto Pi, and less for the inner ferry berths. The same booking can continue to PMI Airport for fly-cruise turnarounds or to a resort in Magaluf, Alcúdia or Cala d’Or. Drivers meet at the terminal in use that day with a name sign, with pickup details confirmed in advance.
