Unfortunately, this one disappoints me. Either way I would have to fly from the UK to Barcelona, Valencia or Denia. Does ant company operate from Dover, UK?
Hi Maria,
You can get from Dover to Calais and from there you can drive to Barcelona and pick up the ferry from there. I think that's the most used road to Ibiza from the UK.
I hope this answers your question!
Does the season affect the operation of this Ferry?
Hi Roy,
Good question, Yes this ferry runs more often during the peak Season (April – Early Sept)!
