As soon as your booking is confirmed, you'll get a confirmation email. Exactly how your boarding pass is issued after that depends on which operator you've booked with.

You'll typically find the ticket desk close to the ferry terminal itself. It's a good idea to arrive a little early so you have plenty of time to collect your tickets and get checked in without rushing.
At check-in, have your confirmation email ready along with valid photo ID, such as a passport or identity card. If you're travelling with a pet, bring along their vaccination and insurance paperwork, and if you booked using a resident discount, be prepared to show proof of address too.
A few things can explain a lack of sailings on your chosen date: a temporary schedule change, limited space, or a seasonal shift in the timetable are the most common. It's worth trying a nearby date or exploring alternative routes using our Route & Port finder.

The Spanish city of Mahon is the capital of the island of Menorca, which forms part of the Balearic Islands. Lying on the island's east coast, Mahon is also home to the island's main port which is formed on the second deepest natural harbour in the world, which extends around 7 miles inland. There is a lovely mix of old and new architecture in the city and offers visitors a unique blend of a city that is full of Menorcan and Spanish history, especially in its buildings, and museums coupled with its thriving natural port. The centre of Mahon is the Placa de S'Esplanada which is also the best place to sit in one of the cafes, located around the Placa, and watch the world go by. If you take a stroll from the Placa onto Carrer d'Isabel II you will see a spectacular view of the harbour. Whilst strolling through the streets visitors will see elegant Georgian houses overlooking the harbour and at the end of the road is the Museu de Menorca, the island's largest museum covering the island's archaeological past together with a collection of fine arts.
Mahon ferry port has year round sailings connecting the city to Barcelona and Valencia on the Spanish mainland. You can also catch ferries to Palma and to Alcudia, Majorca and to Ibiza. Ferries also operate to and from Ciutadella in the summer months.
The city of Palma is the capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca and contains the most sites of historical interest of any town located in the Balearic Islands. With a population of roughly 300,000 Palma's past leaders have left their mark on the city with its impressive buildings which includes the beautiful Le Seu Cathedral. The city is characterised by narrow streets, secluded courtyards, a harbour and some fine examples of restored historic buildings and all combine to make the city a wonderful place to explore on foot. The wide avenue that is Passeig d'es Born is the city's main promenade and apart from dissecting the city, this tree lined street contains many shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. The city's walls were constructed on the site of medieval walls and featured galleries that ran along the top, where the strong defence could protect the island from marauders. The walls include a walkway that is popular with both locals and visitors and is where lovely views over the cathedral and old town can be had.
From the city's port, ferries depart to destinations that include Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and Denia.
