Practical advice for a successful boat crossing
Preparing your journey: documents, timetables, access
For a successful Marseille-Tangier ferry crossing, it's essential to prepare your journey well. First of all, make sure you have all the documents you need for your journey, such as your passport, your boat ticket to Morocco and, if you are travelling with your vehicle, the documents relating to it.
It's also a good idea to check your ferry's departure and arrival times, as well as access to the port. Arriving early is always a good idea to avoid delays and unforeseen events.
What to take on board the Marseille-Morocco ferry
Once your car is parked on board the boat, you will no longer have access to it during the crossing. So it's important to make sure you take with you everything you'll need during the journey: a change of clothes, toiletries, medicines, warm clothing and also something to keep you and your children entertained.
