Tunis – Marseille with CTN
Tunis – Marseille takes you back to Provence overnight. CTN offers one to six sailings a week depending on the season, so your return date has to fit the programme.
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.
Arrive at the port of La Goulette with a good margin: police and customs formalities and the vehicle boarding queue can be long in summer. Keep your tickets, passports and vehicle papers to hand.

Tunis
Tunis is the capital of Tunisia, built around a lake and open to the Mediterranean through the port of La Goulette, about ten kilometres from the centre. The port is linked to the city by the TGM, a light railway that also serves Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. Report to the terminal at the time shown on your ticket: police and customs formalities come before boarding.
Marseille
Ferries from Tunisia arrive at the Marseille commercial port, a few kilometres north of the Old Port. The motorway to Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Lyon is close, and Saint-Charles station is reached by taxi or the metro. Allow time to leave the port by car and for the checks on arrival, especially in summer.
