Sète – Nador with GNV
Sète – Nador links Languedoc with north-eastern Morocco, without going through the Strait of Gibraltar. The crossing takes up to forty hours, with one or two nights on board, and GNV runs it a few times a week.
The ships have restaurants, shops and outdoor decks; passengers with a vehicle leave it in the garage for the whole crossing and take their luggage to the cabin.
It is handy for travellers heading for the Oriental, the Rif or the Nador region, who thus save several hundred kilometres of driving in Morocco. Book early in summer, as places with a vehicle go quickly.
