Things to know before booking a Mallorca cruise

All Mallorca cruise routes explained

What you’ll see on your Mallorca cruise

Palma Cathedral with mountains in the background, viewed from the sea.
1/9

Palma Cathedral

Seen from Palma Bay, the cathedral rises above the waterfront and makes one of the clearest photo moments on Palma cruises.

  • Pro tip: For the best photos, head to the open deck as your boat approaches Palma Bay. The cathedral looks especially impressive with the waterfront and city skyline in the background.

Palma Bay

This broad bay gives open-water views, city skyline angles, and a relaxed sailing route close to Palma.

  • Photography tip: Late-afternoon and sunset departures often offer the softest light for capturing the bay and Palma’s waterfront.

Tramuntana Mountains

Visible behind Palma and the coast, the mountain range adds a dramatic backdrop during daytime and sunset cruises.

  • Pro tip: Sit on the side of the boat facing the coastline for the clearest mountain views during the cruise.

Cala Vella

A clear-water cove used on selected Palma routes, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing during the stop.

  • Best viewed from: The water itself. Bring a waterproof camera if you want photos of the cove’s clear turquoise sea.

Portals Vells

Another possible south coast stop, known for calm waters near the beach and a relaxed swim break.

  • Photography tip: Capture the contrast between the sandy shoreline and the clear blue water during your swim stop.

Alcanada Lighthouse

Seen on the Alcudia route, this lighthouse marks the start of a scenic north coast cruise.

  • Pro tip: Keep your camera ready as the lighthouse comes into view. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Alcudia route.

Es Coll Baix

A remote cove stop on the Alcudia cruise, reached by boat and used for swimming beneath rugged coastal scenery.

  • Best viewed from: The boat approaching the cove, where the cliffs create a dramatic natural setting.

Formentor Lighthouse

A highlight of the Alcudia route, seen below the cliffs of the Formentor peninsula.

  • Photography tip: Use a wide-angle shot to capture both the lighthouse and the surrounding cliffs in a single frame.

Sunrise dolphin waters

On the dolphin cruise, the focus is on the open horizon as dolphins surface near the catamaran.

  • Pro tip: Stand near the front deck and keep your camera ready after sunrise, as dolphin sightings can happen quickly and on either side of the boat.

Plan your cruise in Mallorca

Tips & guidelines

  • Choose your departure wisely: Pick Palma Port for city-based cruises, Port Alcudia for Formentor and north-coast scenery, or Port Can Pastilla/Port S'Arenal for sunrise dolphin cruises.
  • Book the right time slot: Daytime cruises are best for swimming, sunset cruises for evening views, and sunrise cruises for dolphin watching.
  • Wear swimwear under your clothes: It'll save time during swimming and snorkeling stops on Palma and Alcudia cruises.
  • Bring a towel and reef-safe sunscreen: Towels aren't included, and the Mallorcan sun is strong even during morning departures.
  • Carry a light jacket: Sea breezes can feel cooler during sunset cruises and early morning dolphin trips.
  • Check your ticket inclusions: Meals, snacks, drinks, snorkeling gear, and hotel transfers vary by cruise variant.
  • Arrive 15–20 minutes early: Boarding closes shortly before departure, especially at Port Palma and Port Alcudia.
