A land of ancient civilisations and a crossroads of Mediterranean and North African cultures, Algeria is opening up new horizons of discovery thanks to GNV’s Sète – Béjaïa ferries. This direct connection provides easy and comfortable access to one of the most authentic and less travelled regions of North Africa.

In addition, the possibility of taking vehicles and pets onboard makes this route an ideal option for those who wish to explore Algeria in complete freedom.

Starting from Béjaïa, a gateway to the Atlas Mountains and the beaches of the Mediterranean, you can immerse yourself in the cultural richness of places such as the Kasbah of Algiers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its winding streets and Ottoman palaces, and visit archaeological sites such as Timgad and Djemila, true jewels of Roman antiquity. An experience combining history, culture and nature, and an invitation to discover a country of extraordinary beauty that is still relatively unexplored.

BOARDING PROCEDURES FOR FERRIES IN SÈTE AND BÉJAÏA

To board the Sète – Béjaïa ferries without a vehicle, it is advisable to arrive at the port sufficiently early before the scheduled departure time, so that all procedures can be completed without rushing. Once at the port, you will be asked at the dedicated GNV check-in desks to present your ticket – in printed or digital format – together with a valid identity document for international travel. For Algeria, a passport with at least six months’ validity beyond the expected return date is required, and EU citizens must also obtain an entry visa, which in Italy is issued by Algerian diplomatic and consular representations. For up-to-date information, we recommend always checking the website of the competent authorities.

After completing check-in, you will receive your boarding pass, an essential document for boarding, which you must keep until disembarkation in Algeria (or France). After passing the security checks, follow the instructions provided by the ground staff for boarding: you can then board the Sète – Béjaïa ferry and enjoy your crossing to Algeria.

Boarding with a car, motorcycle or camper

If you have chosen to board with your vehicle from Sète to Béjaïa – or from Béjaïa to Sète – it is important to organise your arrival carefully for a smooth boarding experience. We recommend arriving at the port well in advance of the scheduled departure time, so that you have all the time you need to complete the required procedures.

At the dedicated vehicle check-in, you will need to present your travel booking, passport, driving licence, vehicle registration document and insurance. The staff will check your documents and provide you with a sticker to place on the windscreen of your car, motorcycle or camper: this identifies the area and deck where your vehicle will be parked during the crossing, helping to organise operations onboard and making it easier to locate your vehicle upon arrival in Algeria (or France). When boarding, a crew member will guide you towards the vehicle deck, where you will park according to the instructions and within the designated spaces. Before leaving your vehicle, make sure you take everything you will need during the journey with you, as access to the garage will not be permitted until disembarkation.

Once onboard the Sète – Béjaïa ferry, you can finally relax and enjoy the available services, getting ready to explore Algeria independently with your own vehicle: your holiday begins as soon as you step aboard our ships!
