Cruise ships make this a spot to stop off for the day, or more. It contributes to the crowds that mas in the old town area. With maybe an average of 4,000-6,000 passengers in town for the day, it fills up the sites to see and restaurants are packed. We had that special experience in La Seu where maybe 1,000 people were there viewing at the same time

To travel from Valencia to the Balearics, you could fly by plane, or be a little more eco-friendly and avoid the whole airport stress altogether by taking a boat over...
The journey from Valencia - Palma lasts around 9 hours, there is one boat a day each way... the cost starts from around 50€ return (even less for Balearic residents)... and whilst it may not be the most deluxe, it's certainly comfortable and more relaxing than a flight.
There are films available, usually dubbed in Spanish, but entertaining even if you don't know the language... also a bar, and restaurant. Be warned, however, for some reason unknown to me the restaurant was only open for the first couple of hours of the journey and then completely closed up. I suggest taking a packed lunch/snacks just in case your hunger doesn't fit in with this!
One other point to note, when travelling from the port in Valencia, please note this is:
Puerto de Valencia,
Muelle de Levante s/n
46024
Valencia.
Get to the main port terminal and there will be a bus to catch to the Iscomar terminal (about a mile away into the cargo area of the port). We had difficulty in finding where to get this, so simply started walking with backpacks in tow... fortunately the bus driver saw us on his way back, then turned around to pick us up :)

There are 3 different companies that travel to the Balearic Islands and of course Palma de Mallorca, the main city. The companies are:
- Transmediterranea: 2 super fast ferrys, 2 ferrys and one cargo ferry.
- Balearia: 2 super fast ferrys, one fast ferry and 2 ferrys.
- Iscomar: Is more dedicated to cargo and cars but also has one fast ferry
- TurboCat: only goes from Barcelona to Alcudia and Menorca
- MedMar: only departs from Sète (France) to Palma de Mallorca, good for frenchs
In all of these ferries U can take your car with U. Bicyles are for free.
Check out the web page I posted in order to gather more info about these companies.

You can take the night ship from Barcelona or Valencia to Palma. Sometimes you will find the airplane is cheaper.
