Ferry from Bejaia to Marseille

Bejaia Guide

Bejaia is a Mediterranean port city on the gulf of the same name in Algeria. The terminal connects the North African country with France with two weekly sailings to the beautiful city of Marseille. This service is provided by Algerie Ferries.

What is there to do in Bejaia?
This historic African settlement possesses a lavish history that stretches back to the era of the ancient Carthaginian empire, during which the city was established as a small overseas trading post. It still possesses a sprawling labyrinth of streets to explore. You can also venture along the cliff edged coast towards the rugged mountains further inland.

How do you get to the terminal?
Due to its favourable position on the north coast, the port in Bejaia can be reached in a variety of ways. The city’s mainline train station is located almost directly outside the port and offers routes towards the smaller towns in the Kabylia region of the country. Buses stop by the port entrance too, whisking passengers along the main downtown roads that cut between the mismatched architecture of the city’s unique cityscape.

What does the port provide?
The port itself is located a short distance east of the city-centre. It consists of a single pier that stretches between a busy commercial dockyard and into a section of the Gulf of Bejaia hemmed in by a long sea-wall. Amenities at the ferry terminal are limited to a check-in booth and a pier from which passengers can board the ship. One passenger route operates from the port of Bejaia. An Algerie Ferries line leaves the harbour just a couple of times throughout the week, making the long twenty hour voyage from the Gulf of Bejaia to the French south coast city of Marseille
