Port Tunis, anchored at La Goulette just south of Tunisia’s capital, is a magnetic gateway that distinguishes itself with instant access to a living tapestry of history, culture and coast. From the quay, guests are whisked into a compact world where the ancient and the contemporary mingle: half-day explorations to the Carthage ruins, the white-washed charm of Sidi Bou Said, and the ornate rooms of the Bardo Museum, all just a short ride away, followed by a stroll through the Medina of Tunis and the aromatic delights of a traditional souk. Signature experiences center on crafted, door-to-door itineraries—private archaeology tours, olive oil tastings, Tunisian coffee and date tastings, and sunset coastal cruises that frame the city’s horizon with sails and skyline. The destination itself unfolds with nearby white-sand beaches at La Marsa and Gammarth, coastal restaurants, and vibrant markets, while a dash of desert-day innovation lingers in premium experiences offered ashore. The port’s fleet-friendly infrastructure—state-of-the-art passenger terminals, streamlined immigration, direct-to-ship gangways, climate-controlled lounges, and easy-access facilities—makes every visit effortless for families and solo travelers alike. Onboard-friendly services ashore include multilingual assistance, duty-free shopping desks, Wi-Fi and charging stations, sheltered rest areas, and quick-access information desks that connect guests to unforgettable experiences, delicious Tunisian cuisine, and memorable memories long after the ship sails away.
