Marseille – Skikda with Algérie Ferries
Marseille – Skikda serves north-east Algeria: the town is the entry point for the Constantine region. Algérie Ferries operates about three rotations a month here in summer. The route crosses the Mediterranean west of Sardinia.
On board you will find lounges, restaurants, duty-free shops and cabins in several categories. Travellers who want a quiet night’s sleep are better off choosing a cabin rather than a seat.
Travellers choose this line to reach Constantine, Collo, Jijel or the east coast without a long road journey from Algiers. As rotations are rare, it is better to fit your leave around the timetable than the other way round.

Marseille
Marseille is the oldest city in France: Greek sailors from Phocaea founded Massalia here around 600 BC. The Old Port has kept the city turned towards the sea and the far shore of the Mediterranean ever since. The basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, known to locals as the “Bonne Mère”, watches over the harbour from its hill, and the Mucem, which opened in 2013 at the mouth of the port, is devoted to Mediterranean civilisations. The Panier district, with its sloping lanes, and the nearby calanques make up a stay that many travellers extend by a day before boarding.
Skikda
Skikda is the sea gateway of eastern Algeria: the ferry docks at the foot of the hills around the bay, a short distance from the Stora beaches and the old town, the former Philippeville. The town rose on the ruins of ancient Rusicade, whose Roman theatre can be visited. Constantine, the city of suspension bridges, is about an hour and a half away by road, and the coast towards Collo and Jijel offers lovely coves.
