The company

GNV

GNV, short for Grandi Navi Veloci, is an Italian company founded in Genoa in 1992. It has belonged to the MSC group since 2010 and operates routes to Sicily, Sardinia, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Albania and Algeria.

In France, GNV is one of the few companies serving Algeria from Sète, a small port in Languedoc close to Montpellier. This base lets travellers from the south-west and the Rhône valley avoid going all the way up to Marseille.

The company links Sète with Algiers and Bejaia, with one crossing a week in each direction in high season. The ships have large cabins and restaurants; the dates open for booking are shown in the search engine.
