Ferry Algeciras – Ceuta
The ferry from Algeciras to Ceuta is very popular because it only takes an hour to get across. Officially, you sail from Spain to Spain because Ceuta is an exclave of Spain, but the borders are basically over, so you can easily travel to Morocco. If you do not want to take the risk that the borders will be open, it is better to choose another crossing. For example Algeciras to Tangier Med.
Booking this crossing can sometimes be difficult. It can therefore be nice to have a ferry specialist help you.

About Ceuta
Ceuta (Arabic: سبتة) is a Spanish exclave and free port on the North African coast. Ceuta borders the west and southwest of Morocco. It is still highly secured so that refugees cannot reach the European Union. Every year, about 1 million Spaniards come by boat to Ceuta to shop here, because this is tax-free.
