The shipping company Baleària and the tourism holding company Logitravel Group have just launched Baleando, a tour operator and travel web portal to offer vacation packages that include ferry, hotel and activities to their clients, with the intention of making it as easy as possible for them to organize a complete vacation.
The new service links the extensive network of ferries in Baleària that connect the peninsula with the Balearic Islands, with the wide portfolio of hotels contracted directly by Logitravel, thus facilitating their joint reservation on the Baleando platform, created specifically to offer vacation packages to the traveler with various services included.
Baleando allows customers who wish to travel in summer or simply make a short break, to book all services together in the same application, selecting the ferries that best suit their needs and choosing from a wide range of hotels offered by Logitravel, with the security of knowing also that they are protected by package travel regulations.
In Baleando the client has the flexibility to choose the number of nights they want to travel and has the option in addition to taking their car to the chosen destination, with the consequent convenience of carrying luggage and items without limits, in addition to being able to drive to a destination more far from the port of arrival.
The new website is available as www.baleando.es It is both in desktop version and on mobile devices and is also integrated into the website of Baleària through featured links.

The goal is to create a recognizable and digital brand that brings together all this vacation offer ".
"We know that more than 70% of our clients book more than the ferry, even when they visit friends and family. This collaboration allows us to provide our clients with a single place to book all services, offering them great added value and multiple options. to choose from, "concludes Bassoul.
