In 2026, Moroccans living abroad face significantly higher ferry ticket prices for summer travel between Europe and Morocco. Reports indicate that prices for routes from France, Spain, and Italy to Moroccan ports have increased by up to 30% compared to 2025, according to data from maritime transport operators and consumer associations.
The price surge is attributed to rising fuel costs, increased demand during the summer season, and operational expenses for ferry companies. For a family of four, a round-trip ticket from southern France to Tangier can now cost over €1,500, up from approximately €1,200 in previous years, as verified by price comparisons on booking platforms.
Moroccan diaspora organizations have voiced concerns, stating that the higher costs are forcing many families to reduce their stay or cancel trips altogether. The Moroccan government has not yet announced any subsidies or price caps for the 2026 summer season, though discussions are ongoing with ferry operators to explore possible relief measures.
