No Plans to Resume the Sète-Nador Route

Despite strong demand from Moroccans Living Abroad (MRE),BALEARIAwill not be resuming the Sète-Nador route in 2025. This decision is due to several constraints, including profitability, the need for a specific vessel, and a lack of space at the port of Sète.

However, MREs are hopeful for a future return of BALEARIA on this route, which was appreciated for its quality service between 2020 and 2023.
